Patts - yup, too hot most of the year. I relocated to Nonthaburi, couple of years now. Don't know if I just lucked out with location but, weathers been quite tolerable six months of the year. Need more rain to wash away the dust though. Far fewer flies here. Moo Baan I lived in in the East Side had a rather large population of cats, feral and pet, and they did attract flies - at least thats what I blamed the flies on.
Always thought cats cleaned up after themselves scatwise, you know, bury their shit in a hole. Well, apparently not the Thai cats - buncha Hi So felines, to lazy to dig a damn hole.
