Today my workmate tells me that his brother came home 2 weeks early as Bangkok was too hot and humid. The guy never got to Phuket.
I just sat there shaking my head and thinking what a waste.
With most here waiting, researching and organising their next trip(s) has anyone else come across such a situation?

One time I came across something similar. A Dutch girl and her boyfriend (about 18-19 years old) decided to let destiny decide where they would go on holiday by throwing a dart on a world map and they hit Sri Lanka. Once there everything went wrong..... They did not like rice, they did not like the temperature.... The girl was upset when people looked at here when she was topless on the beach so they did not like the people. And on top of all they had a fair deal of bad luck.... hit by a falling coconut, stomach problems, curfew because there where elections. They tried everything to go home earlier, but did not succeed because all plane seats where taken by members of the loosing party in the elections, so they locked themselfs in to their room. SAD SAD SAD.
For myself...... I had the same one time(when i was very young), but that was in Benidorm. And that was because I ran out of money.
