Re: Thailand has hail again!
Kamphaeng Phaet was hit by remarkably strong winds and heavy rainfall.....but it only lasted ten minutes. Strange weather in the north, it seems.

Everyone in Chiang Mai ok? We even got it here in Khon Kaen, so it must have been a huge storm in Chiang Mai. I even had to have an argument with Leo as to whether or not ice was falling from the sky. I know what rain feels like, and that wasn't just rain -- that was ice.
Crazy. Can't wait for the next US Republican to enter the Senate chambers with a snowball in a ziploc bag to prove that climate change isn't really. And yes, that actually happened.

We've been experiencing some heavy rain and thunderstorms in Chiang Mai but no hailstorms.
I texted two good friends studying at Khon Kaen University and they haven't experienced any hailstorms in Khon Kaen in the last couple of days. No reports in the Thai media either.
The most recent hailstorm in Thailand was in Nakhon Panom in May 2017. A hailstorm anywhere in Thailand would be big news as it happens rarely. I've never seen hail myself; we had a hailstorm in Singapore in 2013 but I wasn't anywhere near the area where it happened.
The Bangkok Post link you provided is 4.5 years old.
Perhaps bitcoins were pouring out of the sky and you got it confused with hail.

Well lions don't like water, a scarecrow would get waterlogged and a tin man would just sink so perhaps swimming across The Mekong River isn't such a good idea.
Re: Thailand has hail again!
I never thought a hail storm would be a point of contention. OP says there was hail in Chiang Mai (assertion "supported" by link to old media article) and Khon Kaen. Another post says there was no hail in either of these locations and another post states that there were remarkably strong winds and heavy rainfall (but no hail) elsewhere in the north. Perhaps the OP has a more recent hail-related link he could provide?
