Ta22 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Thailand was a new country for me when i got here . and chiangmai alway had good weather . the really hot place is khanchanaburi which is killer hot and no matter whice part of it you stay is so hot . chiangmai in the past is not as hot . but seem like it hitting high 38-39 even 40 -41 over the last 2 years . if it getting any hotter recently the Sun is givign me sunburn even when i am just out for lunch on my honda dream or driving . hope the weather get better if not i am considering to build another house maybe in china - so i can have a summer getaway . . Many thing we did not learn or find out till we need it . i don't really care much about the weather back in my country . cos i got aircon and most places is aircon mall . but in thailand is very much different and alot of changes had been made to make one feel good about chaingmai . but is for the better . if this is the start of summer i would imagine maybe this year chiangmai would hit 42c or more . scary idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 If there are "snow birds" in the west, does Thailand have "sun birds"? You know, people who when the weather gets too hot jet off to the Artic Circle or Tromso and places like that? Just wondering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrFisher Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 My air conditioning compressor exploded in my car as a result of the excessive heat, according to the mechanic it was on it's way out of this world and the excessive heat pushed it past the limit. That's what I get for buying a Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta22 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 woke up really early , did not felt as hot . but worry afternoon is going to be another story we are more or less under the mercy of the weather , My advice is .. more shower , more water . and maybe some sun block . skin rushes , sun burn , will be common . rem to top up the water in your cars . and also bring a water bottle out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 skin rushes , sun burn , will be common . Digressing slightly from the opressive heat, I did actually manage a quick skin rush last night, but had to have the fan set at 27.5 0n the dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boksida Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Last night was hotter than it has been for months. Nice, eh? Out of curiosity that one hopes does not cross the border into prying, what fan setting did you use? On the first warm night I tried 4 fans line astern in series. This worked so well I went out and got another two cheapies from Tesco. With the six fans at maximum setting, mosquitos can be de-winged in normal flight and their torsos splattered on the nearest flat surface. There are serious drawbacks however as the skin can be flayed from elderly bodies and the turbine howl makes it difficult to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ta22 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) i get sun rushes easily i use a cream call "Systral Cream -chlorphenoxamine " work like charm for me . and is the best sun burn and sun rushes , it also work well with insect bite is also antiallergic , and antipruritic . the large tube should be about 120baht - 150 baht -25g hope it help .. whahah i was thinking i'm the only weird guy with a 4 fan set up whhahahah cheer to new found world sometime i listen to jazz or basso nova at night can offset the howling sound from the Fan help me cool down also . think relax Edited February 26, 2007 by Ta22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasseru Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 whahah i was thinking i'm the only weird guy with a 4 fan set up whhahahah Not to burst your balloon of happiness, but I think you are; the other one now has a six fan set up.

I've lost more that 3 kilos in 10 days of salads and fruit, but when I first came to Thailand I was quite thin and still sweat like I was in a sauna.
