Popular Post WineOh Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2021 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? 11 1

Popular Post Crossy Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2021 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. 6 1

JAFO Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 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 2

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...

It was -36 outside. Still nicer than a UK winter mate ????
Popular Post Thaiwrath Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) 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 ! Edited January 13, 2021 by Thaiwrath 3
ignis Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Hate it is far to cold..... Likewise I wouldn't survive in the UK now 1 1

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2021 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...... 1 3

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. 2
Popular Post Oldie Posted January 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2021 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. 2 1
actonion Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 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
fishtank Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 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. 1
Lacessit Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 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.

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 1
