I like the heat, it can be invigorating and keeps you young and active, but just  sometimes,  like right now, its too <deleted> hot and humid.  Trying to cook my favourite curry is leaving me wringing wet and agitated .  Mrs P is sitting in aircon pretending she can't cook  curry how I like it. Dogs are not stupid, they are with her and won't come near me. Well they can whistle for their dinner, all of them, no way am I sharing my hard earned curry.

I think it's my age. It never used to bother me but nowadays I ve got the AC on so much more. Just too f.king hot is about right.

That makes three of us.

I put AC in the kitchen for my wife not me. 

I'm a microwave and toaster cook. ????

Here in north CM, 2 Air con. One of them working 24 / 7... and happy with PEA.

Our kitchen is actually a separate building outside the main house. That was to protect me when Mrs P cooked her horrible  smelly fish, that comes from around 10 miles down in the Mariana Trench .  Its not airconned, big mistake.

September through February in the North is usually very very pleasant, the best time of the year.

I find  mid november to mid February   great here in Nakonowhere.       To 24th April, my  electric bill went  up 50%.. for the month.. Told the wife she will have to get a job cutting rice to pay for  Mays account.

Having a bad back with disc herniation the hotter the better.

I think its a big reason that we all live here, but it has its down side. 

1.  NOW is the time to buy winter coats.  

2.  Quit your crying, you knew for the last 213438 years you lived here that it gets this hot

3.  I have three houses in the Antarctica when it gets too hot for me

4.  80% of the globe is "cold".   pack your bags

5.  I'm drinking hot tea while burning trash in my kitchen just so you snowflakes know I'm the real deal 

Maybe im strange, but always when im home in Thailand i only use AC maybe one month/year!

I manage whit fan in north isan. Mrs say also its really hot now, her girl not manage whitout AC ever.

So you could air-con the outside building if you like to cook. ????

Cooking is not my thing.

It was 43 on my small farmland today made a separate room with air-con in my farmhouse mancave to have a few beers.

no one looked at a map to see the proximity to the equator before they travelled here? lol...

tell that to my new siberian husky

 

crying outside all day and won't stop drinking water

 

had to put it in a cage with a blanket over it, seems to be sleeping better now

I had to cook macaroni myself and I was sweating from head to toe after cooking.

After living in Darwin NT Australia for 30 years Thailand is great. I live up north which can get warm but so much better,

I'm in Pattaya and its been ok so far, The rain appears to have come early which helps. 

I dont think we have had a day over 33 degrees.

Gosh no, is it near? Maybe that explains things, thanks for the heads up.

If you want a nice climate and temp try Goa from October to March. Just perfect, dry and hot but the night is cool. Kerala is also good, no AC needed. Millions of palm trees to sit under and the sea is much to swim than Thailand.

The heat does exactly the opposite, making you slow and inactive. It's pure physics - the closer the external temperature gets to 37C, the harder your body has work to prevent it from overheating, and thus sapping energy. Thailand is way above the temperature for optimal physical performance, nearly all year.

 

It will vary by a few days depending on where you live, but the sun is directly over Pattaya on April 24, and Bangkok on April 26, making these the theoretically hottest days of they year given no cloud clover.

 

I've found most of April so far cooler than previous years on average due to the number of rainy and overcast days (Pattaya).

 

I use air-conditioning if it's too hot and expect higher electricity bills at this time of year. So far my room temperature hasn't gone above 30C, so still relatively cool (for April). I consider it quite strange that people retiring in Thailand, would complain about the heat.

Its uncomfortable ! A/c bills go through the roof now.

 

For many years I went back to the UK from April to September and enjoyed the British summer, now I remember why I chose that period...lol ....Covid nailed the feet to the floor and now no choice.

I put the aircon on in the bedroom for about half an hour before I go to bed just to cool the room down then we sleep with the fan on. As far as cooking goes the only reason I know we have a kitchen is the fridge is located there otherwise I would never have to set foot in that room.
