The Director-General stated: “The average minimum temperature in upper Thailand is expected to be about 21 degrees Celsius, or 0.5 degrees Celsius higher above average, but it will be colder than last year. In Bangkok, the lowest temperature is about 17-18 degrees Celsius and will be very cold from December – January 2023.

Dmaxdan Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Best time of the year! Although I do feel for the older Thais who clearly struggle with the cooler temperatures and dress up like they are on an expedition to the north pole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put a note in my diary reminding me to stick my head out of the window to check. About 14:30 it will be winter I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gknrd Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Yep, almost time for me to head back home.. I've had a great time. Thanks Thailand and Laos this hop. Dry season means burning and a blanket of haze and pollution over the area.. But, six months a year it is bearable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

473geo Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Always appears rather warm when working to harvest the annual rice crop, and straw bales in Isaan, heavy morning dew, rice best covered overnight when drying, otherwise very pleasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Aren't the 3 Thai seasons: "roo doo Ron" Hot season "roo doo Fon" Rainy season "roo doo Naew" Cold season 3 seasons maybe but never really cold for us weterners. Thais will shiver and suffer at anything under 25C. Always makes me chuckle when I see Thais on the BTS wearing padded winter jackets when we are happy in shorts and T-shirt.

Same here. However, by the same token, I suppose Thais enjoy a few yuks at our expense when they see farangs sweating like whores in church during the hot season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
