Weather is cold but Thai politics is getting hotter

It’s getting colder now here in Thailand at least on the weather front. On the political side everything is just getting hotter and hotter.
The election is less then a month away and people are accusing each other for crimes and for breaking the election rules daily it is a big mess.

Normally I would follow the election but now I do not really care who ever wins it is going to go back to normal. There was even on guy the second in the command of PPP aka TRT that said that if he wins he would go back to the drug on war.

You get scared when someone from the second largest party defends something that killed over 4000 people with no trial. The UN and the rest of the world have condemned these killings and he want to do it all over. The killing was a failure since they just got the small guys the big guys is running for election now.

HIV is more deadly in Thailand

The HIV-1 subtype E that is common in Thailand looks to be more deadly then the once in other part of the world. This is according to ScienceDaily.com that has made a study since 1991 including 228 men from the military.

They where compared with people living in Europe, North America and in Africa. The study did not include viral medicines because they where not available at that time.

Now with the viral drugs people can live similar times and it is more difficult to measure since the people in Europe and America have more advance medicines then the HIV victims living in Africa or Thailand.

Loy Kratong from family holiday to family tragedy

Now it has happened with Loy Kratong as well, the so quiet holiday have now become a reason for drinking and rumbling around.

The holiday should be quiet and a family thing has in many places in Thailand turned in to be a family tragedy with many people loosing eyes and limbs to firecrackers.

I wish the Thais could keep the old holidays the way they should suppose to be like the Songkran (water festival) have turned into a water war and people are fleeing to safer ground (me included). People die in 1000 from driving drunk and from getting ice cubs in the face when they drive motorbikes.

Lets see if this New Year and Christmas will be any different with the election coming up the 23 of December.

Skiing one of the interesting activities for Thais who have never seen snow

Skiing is one of the interesting holiday activities that Thais have no chance to play, the reason is Thai doesn’t have that much cool season to have the snow for people to ski on. So it’s sure that many Thais are dreaming to ski and skiing turns to be a very interesting activity for many Thais.

If any Thais need to do skiing, they have to go outside Thailand to do it. If you guys, Thais people, don’t know where you can have great ski experience, you can find a ski apartment in Bansko for your ski holiday. Bansko is one of the cities in Bulgaria which is a Europe country with great ski scene. It has a lot of good apartments or homes for all self-catering tourists.

It’s worth to take new experience which you can not find in Thailand at all. This is one of many reasons to tell you why you should leave your own country sometimes.
