TravelerEastWest Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Do I need a jacket in Chaing Mai Jan 1st thru 5th? From the official weather reports it does not look like it and I am currently in Bangkok where I certainly don't need it but my wife says it will be cold....

NancyL Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, I was going to say just carry one of those "silk" scarfs they sell at the Night Bazaar/Walking Market if you go out at night and then I realized you were a guy. If you're the sort of guy who gets cold in an over-airconditioned movie theater or train, then bring whatever you use then. Hubby has a light, single layer jacket. Remember Chiang Mai is both a city and a big province. If you're going to be outside the city and at a higher elevation, it will be chilly in the mornings. Otherwise, in the city, you'll be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I wont and I have not found the need in the last six years. Then again I have a big comfort zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Brilliant. In the closing minutes of the year, the best post of 2011. You might need it on the 6th, ( unless it's not cold ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Simply bring one and if it's too hot take it off. And,if it's cold you will be glad you brought it. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E1717007 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 morning and night is still cold/cooling weather is getting warming, and you do sweat in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgriffith Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hard to know what the OP is asking. A jacket can be a windbreaker, a down-filled parka, a velvet smoking jacket used by a gentleman in his private library, a sport coat or suit top jacket which is rather formal wear........ You are probably already here judging by your post date, but I'll add this. I like Thailand's reply (#8 above). Bring it if you think you need it. If you don't need it, no harm, no foul. Yes, we have icicles hanging off our noses here in CM. It is so cold the cows are dispensing ice cream from their teats. We dream of Nordic bonfires. The Thai definition of "cold" is uh....seriously suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerEastWest Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 "The Thai definition of "cold" is uh....seriously suspect." Agreed. I did not bring or need a jacket. However, my two small children did bring light jackets and needed it. Thank you for all the responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
