To many Thai and expat residents of Pattaya the last several days of cooler weather have brought chills for those not used to lower temperatures, even as many tourists from colder climates continue to wear shorts and singlets.

 

Meanwhile, despite many residents posting on social media about being cold and unhappy and missing warmer weather, at least one group of people in Pattaya have been excited-clothing vendors specializing in sweaters, coats, and hoodies.

 

Pattaya News reporters visited Grand Hall Market in South Pattaya, a well known second-hand market, and found many customers perusing coats and sweaters and other cold weather gear.

we will never say it enough, the misfortune of some makes the happiness of others. that said, i'd be surprised if sweaters vendors's happiness lasts  more than some insignificant days 

I've observed over the years that Thai motorcyclists drive much slower in colder weather at this time of year. The wind-chill factor really screws them up.

Remember scientists, no cotton!   Wet and you are in trouble.   That means sweating.

 

wool, of course.   Or down.  My underwear is 90 percent goose/10 percent feathers.  
 

I definitely can see a joke there. Lol

It was so cold on beach road last night, the Ladyboys had their hands in their own pockets????

My socks were only for home wear - I'd never don socks/sandals outdoors.

I make a point of doing so. White socks with brown sandals. Nobody is going to influence my choice of attire.

You'll get arrested by the fashion police and forced to do a pee test.

Where is Grand Hall Market. I have no idea where that is.
