I'm not kidding now,

just been to my local 7/11 on my bike and it is freezing.

Jumper, jeans, hat and gloves tackle.

It may say 18 degrees on the weather app but it feels more like 5/6.

It's COLD!!

wrap up warm whatever it is you are doing this morning..

 

I personally like the cold weather and hope it becomes more frequent in future.

Do you like the current cold spell?

Yes it's great...freezing my @rse off ,one thing I know

after 30 odd years here I would not survive a U K 

winter,  I have a fire app on my TV,sitting in front

of it trying to get warm, the older you get the cold

gets into your bones.

regards Worgeordie

sure do long may it last

Makes a welcome change from the humidity and sweltering heat, doesn't it? ????

Neither would I mate.

Winter in the UK is beyond grim.

It's abysmal. 

Ruddy Baltic here in northern BKK, 17.5C when we got up, dogs didn't even come out of their house to greet us. Of course they're nice and warm in their built-in fur coats plus their doggie coats.

 

Like @worgeordie I wouldn't survive in the UK now, too cold and damp. On a positive note the grandkids are not using the A/C so our power bill won't be through the roof like it was last time they stayed.

Haven't had mine on since mid december.

I will use the surplus money to buy more wine me thinks ???? 

11° in Chiang Khan right now!

Loving it. Levi's and T shirt weather. No skeeters, dry. Perfect for good yard work and a mountain bike ride. Its 12 c right now

Try growing up in rural northern Canada as a kid I had to walk to the school bus on a frozen road in ice and snow.

Never ever going back , I would never want to leave the house, if I could afford one that is. Sure the cost of living has gone up here over the years like everywhere but everything/one is taxed to the max...

I had a lay over in Toronto once.

Landed in the middle of February. 

It was -36 outside.

Still nicer than a UK winter mate ???? 

Seriously, things ain't too good in Khon Kaen.

For 15 years I have been contemplating buying a heater, but didn't bother.

Ordered one from Lazada yesterday ! 

Hate it is far to cold.....  Likewise I wouldn't survive in the UK now

where you from then? 
Yakutsk? 

What cold weather?

It's lovely here in Phuket ????

Woke up and had to put on socks, my sweat pants and a sweatshirt, the GF was happy I was wearing them as it was the first time since she bought them for me last year in January.  We left the balcony sliders open all night and it was 17c inside the Condo this morning.  Yesterday with the breeze it was 16c when we awoke.  Looked for the thermostat to turn on the heater, and realized, WHAT HEATER, thats back whence I cam from......

I was shivering on the bike this morning.

My fingers almost turned blue! ????

I would rather have freezing cold winters covered in ice and snow than miserable wet and wind with grey skies any day of the week!

At least you lot know what you are getting.

and can dress accordingly. 

Finally my aircons can rest and I can open all windows. Great. The only downside here in Pattaya is the black dust that will come into your rooms then. My feet get black and if you step into something wet you clearly see the dirt on the floor. Okay - more cleaning but great temperatures. 

The cold spell is better if take away the wind chill factor...  the weather forecast on my phone said  10 degrees c  in  West of England and   12 degrees  c  in Buriram yesterday early morning

Hate it. I came to Thailand to be warm not bloody freezing.

Also the heater in my fish tank is on constantly keeping my Discus at 30c sending the electric bill up.

Bloody cold 25 km south of Chiang Rai, all the villagers have fires going. The GF and I are delaying a bonk until it's a bit warmer.

sod the heater mate.

Grab an old metal bin, fill it full of wood and you are good to go!

an oil drum would be better if you can get your hands on one..

great for a few drinks and a sing song

We're the kind of people that don't like it under blankets or with clothes, I think the heat output would be less than the cold input.

The pleasures of anticipation.
