everybody feels the weather differently. if it's hot for most of the year then it can be difficult for some people to handle the cold snaps. especially oop North where it can get quite chilly in the winter.

we have cold weather?not here in Pattaya we dont .

It is a country of contrasts.

I live in Chonburi city and in Sept 2020 we we went up to Khao Kho. Not only was the scenery like Scotland,  so was the weather. I was perished, I had been warned and taken my coat but didn't expect it to be that cold.

Just turn the inverter Aircon up to 30 and you'll be fine.

Its not the inverter tech, I have conventional inverter ACs. it needs to be reversible to blow warm air into the room.

Here is what you guys need for the winter in Thailand. I still have leftovers from my more active days, and still good as new almost 15 years later. And trust me, it have been used for what its worth. Expensice to buy, but the comfort and longevity of it, pays off.

Almost every large appliance store in Thailand that sells air con units, sells units that provide heat also, go and asks one.

I usually wear a pair of socks, if it gets really cold I might put a T shirt on, usually a pair of socks cuts the Mustard.

What is the best and worst time in Thailand? November to February is definitely best, and worst is burning season and  next hot season, followed by a long wet hot season. So not much left is it now ????

2 bar Electric fire 1600 Watt  320 B and a 2000 Watt

hot air blower  980 B,

Can you give a link as I have been looking for bar heaters for the bathroom. It gets cold here and even with a 8000 watt water heater for the shower it is still not hot enough and cold when you get out.

 

This is probably going to be a colder cold season because of all of the moisture in the ground. Have been here when it was 5C in the morning.

Get my jacket out that I wore in Russia plus several pullovers, hat, gloves and scarf................................and that will be in the house.

No worst time, only better and best. 

 

I don't have a burning season, I'm on the beach. 

 

I welcome the wet season, the cloud cover keeps the hot sun away and it's a fantastic ride on my PCX with the light drizzle. 

 

The weather in Thailand is perfect for me. 

 

I love the rain ❤️

these are guys of Viking stock , when Scandinavia was not cold enough for them 

they sailed off to Iceland and Greenland

I'm supposed to be a Viking - my genetic profile says I am - Iceland is warmer than Scandinavia and from old time, there is a reason why Greenland was named green land - try northern Scandinavia instead...????

You must be one of the tough guys  555 , ???? don't even need a jumper

A few years ago the police reported that 2 men from either Norway or Sweden,

had been found dead on the floor of their kitchen and they died from hypothermia 

these are guys of Viking stock , when Scandinavia was not cold enough for them 

they sailed off to Iceland and Greenland. , so I am not taking any chances .555

Last year I got my first electric blanket and it was great. You right, after living here for more than 20 years you start feeling the cold and this year is going to be a cold one. I feel it in my bones.

Why not invest in proper clothing? Not cheap <deleted> you get on markeds and fitness shops, but Merino wool or similar. It is comfortable and keep the joint pain away when it gets colder.
