I remember a storm in Chiang Rai around 1977 that covered the ground an inch deep with pea-sized hail. I took the train from Chiang Mai to Phitsanulok the next morning and the hail storm followed me there. The only other hail storm I've seen in Thailand was about 1983, when one actually hit Bangkok. Kids asked me if it was snow. I told them snow didn't hurt when it hit you. Knocked holes in billboards in parts of Bangkok.
