Loptr Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I like it hot. I wait until the temp crosses 40c, then get on my road bike and cycle 50k. Some think I'm nuts and perhaps I am, but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksal37 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 What a pointless topic.We live in the tropics,what do you expect? Are you that bored that you need to post a question like this? Yes it was hot today and I expect it may be hot tomorrow as well and .............................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Today is the first time that it has rained more than a trickle for quite a while. Hopefully it was enough to cool things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ulysses G. Posted May 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2013 I used to think that I liked it hot until I had lived here for a while. Now, I look forward to cool season every year, but rainy season is not bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Today was the kind of hot that comes right before a thunderstorm That sure was a fast strong winded thunderstorm though. I think it took about 20 minutes total Edited May 29, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChinaHam Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If Chiang Mai is Hot, Then is Ba Na Yang cooler? What about Camping at Doi Inthanon, is that cooler still? How many degrees Hotter is Chiang Mai than Ba Na Yang, or Doi Inthanon? Can anyone answer this question? Because if it gets much hotter here I may need to buy a tent and head for the hills. So the question still stands, how much hotter than Ba Na Yang, and Doi Inthanon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eden8 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Doi Inthanon average temperature should be < 20 deg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChinaHam Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Doi Inthanon average temperature should be < 20 deg Thanks a lot. That is good to know. I was going to post a topic in the travel section asking where I can go to enjoy some cooler air, some place within about 1.5 to 2 hours drive from CM City. I did look at the elevations for both these places but I have not been there. I am also wondering about the 20 degree value you give. Is this C? That seems like too much of a temperature difference, but maybe not. The elevation difference is only about 1300 meters, I think. So this much of a temperature variation seems rather much. Or are you listing F? Normally, as you go up, the humidity also drops. Edited May 29, 2013 by OldChinaHam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Doi Mae Salong is a nice place to cool off with lots of natural beauty and Chinese food. It is about half way between Chiang Rai and Mai Sai, so a little bit of a trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a sister in law die in Eastern Washington in the hot season. She died of heat stroke. She was mountain biking with a helmet on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If you want a break from the heat just head up Doi Suthep. About 25% of the way up it starts to cool down, once past Wat Doi Suthep it starts to get really chilly around Bhuping Palace, I go up there daily. I believe there are gov bungalows you may be able to rent through the Tourism authority of Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ride with a full face helmet, just grab the front part and lift up while the visor is open when you are moving. Youll get a rush of air to cool down your skull.

PoodMaiDai Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 What is the deal with land and homes in mountains? I have heard there are no chanotes but there are always homes (and businesses) and locals living in the hills. Are they squatters or do they get a special permit?

Ulysses G. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Yes. The people are Chinese and speak Chinese, rather than Thai. They have very nice mushrooms that are grown up there and Chinese snacks at the morning market that you don't see in Chiang Mai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaideeguy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Too damn hot for too damn long this summer. The absolute worse that I've felt in the 12 summers i've been here. The past summers it at least cooled down at night, but not this year. give us a break please!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The humidity is the highest I can recall in the last 6 years. Been miserable. A/C running day and night, about 20/7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Well it sure seems hotter to me this year but that might be old age inability to deal with heat. Or Senior moments . Any one have official records. Isn't April, May and June supposed to be the hottest part of the year and then into the rainy season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JomtienEats Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've made this handy crib sheet for moaning about Chiang Mai weather. April is really the bonanza. March to April : Too Smokey April : Too Songkran April to June: Too Hot July to October: Too Wet November to February: Too many tourists attracted to the nice weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
