Powder in the USA has zinc added to help kill bacteria. Great for gonadial areas of men. No such product in Thailand that I've seen and I've looked. A market niche for someone.

When I worked in Saudi I was in Bahrain for a day or 2 when it was 43C - 45C with horrendous humidity. The condensation was running down the outside walls of buildings. (The middle east doesn't always have dry heat, as some people think). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(measurement is combination of Humidity and Temperature). Horrific conditions, hot enough to make me feel unwell after being outside for 10mins.

Every day outside around 50C 'in the shade', except that there is no shade in the desert. Also, none of the a/c's worked in any of our vehicles. Horrendously hot.

DefaultName Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Interesting, I've been here a few years and I know that the sun does that - we're in the tropics after all - but I've never actually known a date /time. I'll have to go out and look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was heavy equipment engineer and taking a quick walk round the site my work boots would filled to overflow with the sweat running down into them. A bit like paddling with your boots on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember the wall of heat hitting you even in the evening when you get out of the aircon car returning home and have to park outside. It was far hotter going on the roof of the new Doha airport in summer when we were constructing it. No way that was tolerable, but the workers did their job in conditions that were extreme.
