February 20Feb 20 It's 32 degrees in Australia today.I have for weeks tried not to use the air conditioning to acclimatise to my trip going to Thailand where I hate to use the air con But it seems in this rubbish country of Australia it's a burning dry type of heat rather than the wet moist heat of Thailand.It's not only financial reasons not to put the air conditioning on but health reasons too It's plays havoc with my eyes , my conjunctivitis, my skin , everything .Do you use the air conditioning in Thailand, did you stop?Can you sleep without it ?.you see it's like a drug ,the more you use it ,the less your body can cope without it
February 20Feb 20 Popular Post It is only going to be 42 degrees here next week, so you definitely will not need air con. That is basically sweater weather.Nobody uses air conditioning when it is that mild. Most of us just open a window, maybe turn on a fan or maybe not, and let the refreshing blast furnace breeze roll through the house.If you do start to feel slightly toasty, just strap a couple of those blue gel packs into your underwear and carry on. They will cool you down instantly. Problem solved. Completely sustainable long term strategy.Thailand will be fine for you. Even if you cannot handle dry low thirties in Australia, you are going to absolutely thrive in humid mid forties with ninety percent moisture in Thailand. Same thing, really.No need for air con, bro. Just mind over matter.

February 20Feb 20 I don't use AC daytime, i let the breeze off the sea blow through the condo, usually around 6pm AC goes on as the breeze stops and humidity goes up, At 26⁰ the AC reduces the humidity from 80% to 60s

He'll be staying with Bob on Soi 6 in a one room bedsit above a bar with no windows and maybe just a shared fan. 100 Baht a day. It's lady boy friendly, and it gets the job done.
February 21Feb 21 Popular Post We prefer fresh air. During the day, the windows are open, and the fans are running. With the front door open, we have an almost 'wind tunnel' effect in our condo that keeps the rooms quite cool.When the really hot weather arrives in March, we add another fan or two for daytime use. But at night, we will put on the AirCon in the bedroom. Usually set around 28-29 degrees. We like the hot weather. That's why we chose to live in Thailand.

February 21Feb 21 Popular Post It depends where is the room : the room where I have my computer is 41 degrees in the afternoon, full south, second floor, I tried to live only with fan, but the air of the fan is hot, so I bought an AC, and in the afternoon it's now ok in the other pieces of the house, fan is enough , at night, too normally, I like fan more than AC, but 41 degrees in a room direct under the sun, it's impossible to stayI wonder how in old times ( in Thailand and other tropical countries ) they could live without electricity ( fan and AC )

February 21Feb 21 Popular Post I absolutely adore my air conditioners, and use them often. When it gets above 28 in the house the ACs get cranked up, and if it's warm in the room at night our BR AC gets cranked up, and it's super comfortable. It does crank up the electric bill no doubt, but my feeling is that life is far too short to inflict suffering upon yourself deliberately, each and every day. I do everything I can to protect the environment on so many different levels, so if you want to call me a hedonist go ahead, but nothing like the lovely comfort of an AC on a hot day or night.
February 21Feb 21 8 hours ago, georgegeorgia said:.Do you use the air conditioning in Thailand, did you stop?Surely, you must be joking.Who does not use AC in Thailand, if they can afford to do so.My ACs never stop running.The advantages:a. Windows stay closed, although not sealed unfortunately, and this reduces dust concentrations in the air.b. Noise Reduction: 300 years ago, I would have enjoyed having my windows open in Thailand. However, now, the noise from road traffic, blaring horns, sirens, barking dogs, roosters, and much more, is too much. Just for this reason alone, noise, I am thankful to have quiet ACs running all the time.c. I prefer low humidity. The only way to lower humidity is with air conditioner units.d. There are many more advantages, and it would be best for you to just ask Gemini, rather than having me write too much here.
February 21Feb 21 I generally set the A/C to 30 C - or - I set it to dehumidify. At the dehumidify setting it goes on and off with the humidity in the room. Stays off most of the time.When I first turn it on I'll use the Power setting to get it initially cool. But unless its really hot outside I generally use the room fan. But it does get used during the height of Hot Season, but at a comfy 30 C. I can't stand going to a bank, dentist, or hospital where they keep the temperature at 18 C or 19 C. When I have to wear a fleece jacket inside, all I see is money being wasted. And I have a Sharp air filter that DOES get used during Burn Season.
