Cool Season Interruptus
Another cold night ahead, followed by a four day warming trend, peaking at 36C daytime, 21C nighttime. The warming trend is then followed by a return to the cool zone
Cool temperatures may make you forget high UV ratings common in this area.
While BBC gives it a "high risk" UV7 rating,
accuweather rates it "very high" UV8 rating.
Both recommend SPF30+ sunscreen, protective clothing and sunglasses.

CTH TV the ulcer aggravator
Recently wrote about what I thought was a victory celebration solving the difficulties with CTH Satellite TV service.
The victory celebration was short, my service was disconnected 2 days later. For some reason their accounting department is caught in a rut that I owe 4,000 baht.
I have documented proof that this is not so,
My displeasure with the service is not a loner. there are some people happy with the service, but I also hear plenty complaints very similar to mine. The only advantage the service has is the fact that they have the exclusive one year contract for televising football (soccer) games from England. They outbid their competitor in Thailand: True Visions.
Three phone conversations and finally someone explained to me that the outstanding balance is not 4,000. My outstanding partial balance is based on the fact that I started the service in mid month (prorated charge)

- Interesting to note: Payments made at banks or stores take up to seven days to reach CTH.
- Remote controls are guaranteed for 12 months. If you have a problem with your remote during that time, you can mail it to CTH for verification that it is defective. Since the box does not function without the remote. You have no television service during this time. Alternative is pay 350 baht for a new remote.

Toned down celebrations
Early evening was quite pleasant for the last day of the year. Temperatures started dipping quickly just before midnight. This morning it was cool.
Compared to other years this New Years eve seemed very subdued around here. I wonder if it is the Thai economy.
Usually you can hear fireworks for days before the New Year becomes official. Party music every night all night. Barely any pre-event parties this year.
Hardly any early New Years eve fireworks. Everyone seemed to be saving their ammunition till the last minute.
ITU (road) almost seemed deserted. Most parties were in the side street neighborhood

Just an hour earlier, a neighbor was trimming his lawn Thai Style
The wind was going in the direction of some mosquito invested almost swamp land
No munitions shortage
