AgMech Cowboy Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'm so happy to see the temperature drop to 20C. I have no problem with the Thai people being cold at this temperature, but if you're from Europe or N. America (excluding SS Texas and SS Florida.), this is not cold. I don't care how many years you've been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dress shorts???????????? surely a safari suit and pith helmet would have preferred attire? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccolley Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Turns out about 8 years ago I developed Cold Urticaria, it is as dangerous an allergy as that of say bee stings or peanuts.. Now I find myself in a hoodie if it ever gets below 25C. If it ever were to get below 10C I would not leave the house without an Epipen. So, not loving cold but mornings in Pattaya have dipped to 24ish by the time I am up and my office is always 27+. Even then I can be spotted in my office with the fans off and a hoodie on some mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM Dad Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I quite enjoy the cool season, however, I would hardly call it cold. The early mornings are a bit chilly here in the North, but the afternoons are extremely pleasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakhon Pathom west of BKK the lowest it's been so far about 2-weeks ago was 21.5C at night. This week 24C at night 34C during the day. Toasty.

I don't care how many years you've been here. Been here 39 years and haven't spent a winter in Europe or any country in colder climes since I was 19 so it is certainly chilly for me. But what really gets me is the lower humidity at this time of the year that leads to my skin drying out and looking bloody awful. Were I to be back in the west, I'd probably look like a leper every winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJ2U Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Great! Electrical bill 20%-30% cheaper. I don't have to change my shirt 3 or 4 times a day if I'm working outside. Pleasant evenings. I notice in Issan during hot season it almost feels hotter at night because there's barely any breeze. It can be stifling. Enjoy it now it doesn't last long.

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. Wow, I lived 4 years in Bangkok and never saw the temperature dropping below 20 C - at the coldest possible i.e. sunrise on a "winter" day.

GarryP Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The cool season in Bangkok seemed to be much longer and the temperature quite a bit lower about 35 years ago. I wonder if there has been a change in the average temperature over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes wanted the windows open this morning here in Sathorn, but the PM 2.5 is 167, and I can barely see past the next set of buildings. They know they have a problem, yet the hundreds of condo builds going on 24 hours a day are allowed to continue kicking up the dust and sheite into the air. It gets even worse when the roadways get loaded up with cars. Had to use Visine in my eyes last night and this morning ...ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
