recom273 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Not particularly - after 12 years in Songkhla, it’s a bit of a shock to the system living in a rental property in Khon Kaen without hot water. The only satisfaction is that friends tell me it hasn’t stopped raining for weeks in Hat Yai, everything get so damp and falls to pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yeah, feels good except riding the bicycle.... I can't believe I've become climatised/climatized here...Coolish feeling at 80F..... However, I noticed when we go back to the states, hot, warm, or snow it seems instantly normal with no discomfort.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Doctor Tom Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 Sattahip area is hardly 'cold'. Its around 28 to 30c daytime, but not at all humid and drops to 21c or so at night. Its very pleasant and I wish it could be like this 24/7/365. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 Havnt noticed much difference during the day, it is a lot colder in the evening, but not warranted any extra covers etc. Only difference is the Air Con is not on now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got down to 18 C here in BKK last night, slept with the sliders open and the screen doors shut to keep out any unwelcome bugs, felt very nice. Glad to have ceiling fans as well that help when we sleep. No aircon running for the past few days in the house except from about 3pm to 7 pm as the sun runs down the sky on our side of the building. Right now its 26 C, should be down to 19C tonight. Makes for nice workout weather in the early morning as well, keeps me from sweating during my run in Lumpini. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritManToo Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) The misses and the boy are camping out on the balcony in a tent. Too cold out there for me, I'm in bed with a dressing gown on and a duvet over the top to try and keep warm. The rabbits sit on the driveway with their ears flat and their fur all puffed up. They look very miserable, don't think they like it this cold (15c). Edited December 20, 2021 by BritManToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I wouldn't call this cold but I will say it's cooler and I love it. No humidity, no need for the A/C, I can work out in the garden longer without soaking my clothes in sweat. The temp will have to drop to 15-20c before I break out the long pants, for now my cargo shorts & flip flops will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutt Daeng Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I reckon that the older I get, the more I feel the cold. Seems to me that it gets colder every year as well. When I lived in the UK, my house was less than 2 miles from the North Sea but the cold never seemed to bother me. Now I like temperatures of at least 30C. I've become as soft as $hite living here. My "thermal insulation" has also decreased by 10-12 Kg during my time here. It's never been cold enough to warrant "long pants" yet though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guderian Posted December 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 I don't like it at all, it just feels unnatural. I tell people back in Britian, where it's maybe 5° C, that it's only 26° C in Pattaya and far too cold for swimming, and they either think I've lost my marbles or I'm making a silly joke. But I'm not, it really does feel Arctic if you're wet, due to the wind and the low humidity. Even when you're dry, though, something about this time of the year doesn't feel right. Somebody once told me that it's all down to the dewpoint, but I have no idea why. Roll on the return of the warm weather, I came to Thailand to sweat not to shiver, lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
