khrab Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Late 90's there were two cold Winters when I had to turn on the heat in my car to go to work at 7am...in Bangkok! Two blankets and a jogging suit in bed, the car had a heater but not the house. Would be nice to have a chilly Christmas and New Year again, the last 2 years were too warm for my taste. My car (Honda City 2010) doesn't even have a heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasia Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I had to put on a light fleece jacket for the journey home last night and that in Pattaya. It at least amused my Thai GF, " you cold in Thailand but your country( UK) is more cold ?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm a native Californian, and yep up here in Back of Beyond land it cold in the mornings right now. I have a little Dyson heater...entertains the natives to see the Farang shivering huddled around the heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a heater in your car? I didn't even think to look if there was a heater in my car when I bought it new a year ago. I was staggered to find this model only had one air bag, and didn't check it out carefully enough. Around March I'll have forgotten about the heater..

orosee Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Can't use quotes on mobile... About the heater: 1996 Toyota Corona with very basic air con, using a plastic lever rather than fancy digital like today... If you'd slide it all the way left, the air would come out around maybe 25C,useless in the normal heat but oh so pleasant in those 2 Winters. It was a rental, the last brand new one... Drove 120,000 km in 3 years, that put a look on the agent's face :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car (Honda City 2010) doesn't even have a heater. My wife's chevy has a heater. My pickup does not and I have often wondered why not. It gets a lot colder in the boonies where you need a pickup than it does in the city where you use a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told no heaters in los made cars just as a cost cutting exercise. I would like to put one in, anyone know how/where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 You guys make me laugh. Just finished a skype call to a buddy who is filming a ski cross event in Nakiska Alberta, Canada. Told me it was -35. At between -35 and -40 when you take a cup of water and throw it into the air it freezes instantly into a cloud of ice crystals.Looks like a puff of smoke. I am sure you can find a demonstration on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europeans travelled thousands of miles across the ocean to settle in sub zero temperatures. It's a little bit like Scandinavians in Minnesota.....Dudes you got off the bus too early, its not California yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My dog used to sleep on the tiled, front porch. Now she just looks at me with those big brown eyes until I throw out a mat to sleep on. That means c.o.l.d. Have two blankets. 58 degrees and no heater, so I moved my bed to the smaller room and the heat from the computer keeps it tolerable. Sink water is too cold to use while washing dishes...so they are piling up until the sun has a chance to warm the pipes. Missed several showers, as I hate getting the shivers afterwards...especially at night. My wife likes the cold because my meat lasts longer (no need to refrigerate immediately). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little bit like Scandinavians in Minnesota.....Dudes you got off the bus too early, its not California yet! I think it was the fact that all the Canadians were oversleeping after a rough hockey game and a case of Moosehead Ale. The continents drifted from their original tropical area to a more northerly location. They are currently scratching their heads and wondering what happened. As soon as they recover, they will most likely join the rest of us in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attrayant Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Breath vapors - really? The dew point has to be quite high for that to happen - 15°C and 50% humidity I believe. It's cool here in Bangkok but also quite dry... impossible to see breath vapors under these conditions. Actually 'cool' is not the right word. It's between cool and warm, and only a fan on low setting is needed to sleep at night. These are typical mid-atlantic summer conditions in the Eastern USA.
