Getting a little worried. I stay in Hang dong and had this weird feeling when I woke up today, in my room, even after going outside and it stuck around, couldn't figure out what it was, it was an uncomfortable feeling, like something was wrong with my body, like I was sick or something, i couldn't figure it out no matter what I did.

 

After pondering it for like an hour while it did not improve, something in my mind, perhaps some unconscious intuition, collective ancient race memory or perhaps a helpful spirit guide, finally allowed the answer to surface into my conscious awareness. Apparently what i was feeling was a thing called "cold". Just thinking of that word brings shivers to my soul. This is something I have not experienced since moving here years ago, something I thought I had left behind for good. Now it seems to be back, ready to torment me once again.

 

As you can imagine I am concerned. This is certainly not something that should be occurring here based on my experience so far. I hope its not a sign of bad things to come. If this does not come right by later today, should we start preparing for the worst. Any advice?

Ghosts. 

 

A reason people in Thailand do things like drive at night with their headlights lights off.

 

Perhaps make merit or consult a spiritual advisor.

Alternatively, binge-watch all movies and TV shows titled "Ghostbusters"...

If you "see" any lottery numbers, please pass them on.

Errm, we are entering Thai Winter , and you do live North !

 

Perfectly normal for temps to start dropping.????

 

Get naked, drink ice water, and turn on a big fan to high. Hair of the dog.

Have you considered the strong possibility of vampires in your area?  Better start sleeping with a garlic necklace.

Try to urinate against the wind.

Agreed, it was 24c this morning in San Sai, I had to put my coat and long trousers on before I went out.

I know. I saw you.

Were you out for a date with one of your student girls?

When you see stray soi dogs wearing football shirts, that is the official start of "Cool Season".

I guess that by now the OP is regretting posting seeing the mocking replies so far...

Move South - there is a reason to hug the equator.

.  

My subjective experience is that this November is warmer than usual, and that the sun-UV radiation is stronger than usual. My intense reaction to a short time in the sun seems unusual ... i feel "wired" for hours, and have trouble sleeping.

 

Given my erratic (radiation damaged) thyroid, it may be time to adjust my thyroxin dosage, or, perhaps, change the earth in the coffin I sleep in.

 

cheers, ~o:37;

Just wait until single digits !

Seems you met a Thai ghost, go to the temple and tell the monk, you feel better after even if not believing in it.

I love it snuggle under extra covers with a warm cutie nothing more fun.

OP: Methinks that this "cold" that you feel is a combination of the inevitable onset of Winter, compounded by the equally inevitable blanket of Communism.

Boil a kettle and carefully pour the boiled water into a small plastic basin.  Now take of your boxers and quickly sit down in the basin. 

 

You will notice another sensation called ' scolding ' which although it contains the word cold is just the opposite. Guaranteed to focus your attention away from your whole body and focus it on a smaller , more manageable area.

 

 No need to thank me. I am too modest to need it.

Yeah, you should really start to worry, because there is more bad things to come. This is just the beginning of the cold season. My advice to you is to bunker up. Here´s your shopping list.

 

• Sauna
• Steam Shower
• Hot Fans
• Brain Surgery

Last time I had a similar weird feeling, I discovered that I'd put my underpants on back to front

Scalding? which takes the cold out of it?

 

Or is his wife going to come in and yell at him?

so, a rabbit, a priest and a minister walk into a bar... the bartender asks the rabbit, - 'what will you have' - the rabbit says, - 'don't ask me, I am only here do to auto-correct... 

Cold in Thailand? I call BS to that.....  My AC is on nearly year round and I'm always in shorts and t-shirts unless going to immigration for ext renewal.

 

I do miss snow skiing so post again when it snows....  ????

I lived in Korea on & off for 11 years where the average daily winter temp was 0 C/32 F, when someone in Thailand says it's cold, I just smile and maybe wear one of my thicker t-shirts in the morning.
