Merry Christmas in Bangkok 2007

Hoping everyone is having a happy and peaceful Christmas. Of course Thailand is like 90%+ Buddhist, and Christmas isn't a recognized official holiday, thus it's a working day.

International internet access seems to be running very fast this morning, so I'm wondering if all the expats taking off for Christmas have relieved all the load of the international links.  Anyway, it's GREAT!

Bangkok Temperature December 2007 - HOT

December is supposed to be one of the coolest months in Thailand. November was awesome, I only turned my air conditioning on a couple times the whole month, my electric bill was less than 800 baht. Usually I average around 1500 baht, and during April / May 2500 baht and up. There were nice breezes during the day, I was able to keep my windows open to enjoy the fresh clean, er..smog. However the temp was really quite comfortable.

However, this December has been darn hot. The past couple days especially, and I think the next couple are supposed to be even warmer. What's going on? My air con is getting turned on more and more....oh well, so much for those super low electric bills.
