Observation: I have never heard of anyone dying of hyperthermia in Chiang Mai. Last week it never got below 18 degrees. Where I am from people sunbathe in these temperatures (sad I know but true). If it were easy to get hyperthermia here in CM with the amount of Whiskey that is drunk you would have them dropping like flies. Conclusion: The poor man died - but maybe not of hyperthermia.

(Obviously we all have sympathy for the poor man and his family.)

I live here in Chiang Mai city and I track the temperature - on my balcony it never got below 18 degrees last week
