What's your night-time, air-con temperature?

[simon43]

For those members who're living in Thailand (or the SE Asian region), I wonder what temperature you are comfortable with when sleeping.

Some of my hotel guests set the temperature at 'ice-cold', (usually Indian BTW for some reason), and then demand extra blankets.

Others insist on fan-cooling rooms - no air-con needed for them.

I'm comfortable with an air-con set at 28 degrees, or a cooling-fan, or sometimes no fan at all (due to my experience of living in Yangon when the electricity was cut every night and I had to sleep in a bedroom with no cooling whatsoever...)

What's your preferred temperature?

My preferred temp is about 2 degrees lower than the outside temp at night. Just enough so the A/C keeps running intermittently, circulates some air and removes the moisture.

It's not the temp, it's the humidity that bothers me- sleeping in sweat and all. Plus, I'm allergic to mold, and mildew and everything that grows in this humid climate.

In fact, I'd shut the A/C off at night if I had a dehumidifier to keep the moisture down. That would be after I had cooled the place down from the oven it is when I get home from work.

28-30 on the aircon, depends upon activities taking place (TV or sleeping of course).

We both like a little air movement so even if the A/C is off we have a fan on low, makes a massive difference.

I don't use air con, it dries my throat up and makes me feel lousy. Just a fan for me. BTW, Indians like to get their money's worth, they will put the aircon on ice cold, leave the windows open etc. They will also switch on the aircon before they go out on the town for the day, (and night), come back after 12 hours to an ice cold room, then switch it off! My friend who rents condos in Phratamnak charges rent plus electric, this tends to concentrate their minds!

About 18C at night and 24C or less in the daytime. That's because it is the normal temp this time of year in my area so the climate is the air conditioning. It's why I chose to live in the mountains.

[Nowhereman60]

25c day or night.

I set it to 18 at night and 25 during the day.

[CharlieH]

28 while sleeping, fan only daytime.

[cooked]

25 in the day when we need it, otherwise fan. We once had an electricity bill for ฿800.-. but that was exceptional.

[Thaddeus]

27 is as low as I go.

[george]

23C daytime when working and same at night. Same same in the car.

[Spoonman]

In the bedroom the AC is @ 25C 24/7. Every where else in the house it is fans only.

[davethailand]

Always on about 22-23 but I always set it to turn off after an hour.

[maxx58]

At night 26C. We have the ac from the split-system vent blow down on us.

No ac during the day, only my 21" Hatari fan.

[villagefarang]

23C

[bunnydrops]

27 at night, bedroom only. I can sleep OK with just fan at 29 but any higher, I turn on the A/C

[CPT]

25 to 27C while sleeping, fans during the day.

[IsaanAndy]

I'm a 23C a night man but with it starting to get to that temp at night here now I usually then just use the fan.

[Pomthai]

25C is fine during the day. 22-23 in the bedroom but I like to sleep in a cold room and be warm under a duvet. Maybe I ought to buy some fans, might cut my 6k electric bill.

[kannot]

26c day or night.

[aveabeeror2]

26c day or night.

Exiting thailand. Never a dull moment.

[h90]

22....after 10 years in Thailand

My parents when visiting, put it on max.

Before in Austria I loved to have 18 degree, when I studied even less.

[Pacificperson]

24C, but I would prefer 25 or 26C, if I could keep the humidity down.

[keestha]

Marriages are known to have broken down because of air conditioning wars.

[PeterSmiles]

Always on about 22-23 but I always set it to turn off after an hour.

So you restart it every hour

[Tywais]

23C daytime when working and same at night. Same same in the car.

Missing the home country George?

27.5 - 28 at home and 27 in the car. Being in Chiang Mai, the A/C is off during sleep now as it's plenty cool outside but keep a fan going as I also like the circulation.

[manarak]

26.

that's because I like to use a blanket.

[krisb]

25, and I sleep naked

[jambco984]
