Snow in Thailand?

Thailand is a country with a tropical climate, but since yesterday people are wondering if it snowed in the Land of Smiles.

Unfortunately, many Thais will only see snow on TV or when they go to the Dream World amusement park in Bangkok. Still, never say never. Thailand's climate is varied and in winter it can even freeze considerably in the mountains of northern Thailand.

There are sometimes hail storms in the North that cover the ground with a white substance. With a little imagination it looks like snow. There is a story that in 1955 hail fell that resembled the flakes of snow. But if that happens at all, it is in winter and it is now summer in Thailand.

Yesterday it was very hot again in Thailand with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius in many areas. But despite this, a heavy hailstorm yesterday caused much hilarity among motorists in Chiang Mai province. There was even enough hail for them to make "snowballs" of hailstones.

    Tonight we definitely have “snow”. It has rained heavily for the first time in 6 months and around 18.00:19.00 PM - XNUMX:XNUMX PM there will be thousands of MalengMau, white flies, flying around every lighting source. What you see then is like dancing snow.
    Normally it takes about 1 hour then everything is back to normal, except that the street is littered with dropped wings

    Yes, it's almost unbelievable when you see it, so much.
    What is the official name of these flies?
    After shedding the wings, do they turn into ants?

    We have snow here many times. But then black snow as they burn down the sugar cane fields. Then thousands of black greasy flakes fall down.
