eyecatcher Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My barometer is less accurate but tells me the same story. Since the beginning of december my bottle of cooking oil had been solid every morning bar 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My outdoor thermometer shows the low to have been 12°, but I imagine the building's cement traps some heat from the day time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Coldest in the few years we have been here definitely. Just had 4 days in Pai and at the resort we stayed they showed a low of 2 degrees last Thursday morning. That night was the coldest I have ever felt in Thailand.

expatsupreme Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 wow, so do you use heating? Or just close the windows? 7 degrees in Thailand, funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HaleySabai Posted January 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2014 wow, so do you use heating? Or just close the windows? 7 degrees in Thailand, funny .....right,not exactly a 'winter wonderland' - but what you don't realize is that we have no central heating or aside from an outdoor fire pit,no heating at all. Just came back from Om Koi and last night it went to zero-degree with frost in the morning on the roads and vehicles. I assure you it is freak'n chilly in a house built for hot rather than cold weather. This is the longest sustained cold snap I have experienced here in 13yrs.....and loving every minute of it!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrens54 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Glad we brought a Dimplex type Oil Filled Heater with us from Australia three years ago. Thought at the time, we were mad but had space in the shipping container so tossed it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBobThai Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wood should not be a problem as the locals seem to trim these fruit trees back yearly. If it can be sold, they will sell it. It's not like I need 5 cords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This site shows January 23 as the lowest at 7deg C.

According to that, the cold season finishes tonight, moving forward we won't see temperatures below 16C until next cold season. Those single figures lows explain why I refused to get on the bike at the end of last week. Would rather sit in traffic in the car than freeze on the bike.

expatsupreme Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I see 25 degress now on the internet, and lowest 20, where did you guys see 7 degrees? In mountains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I am going to have one of these before next winter. Ohh, I think this could work in our condo! What is it, specifically? Can it be ordered on-line? I told Hubby I'm not going thru another winter without central heat. Why not? He delivered a similar ultimatum to me after we moved to a place in the snowy, northern U.S. with crummy TV reception and no cable -- it was along the lines of "I'm not going thru another winter without a TV satellite" Edited January 28, 2014 by NancyL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I see 25 degress now on the internet, and lowest 20, where did you guys see 7 degrees? In mountains? Last week was cold. We had 10C out San Kamphaeng way. 7.30 in the morning. The higher places (hills) were warmer - hot air rises. The coldest I saw was 8C just over the border with Chiang rai on highway 118. This was down in the valley bottom - cold air sinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I need 5 cords. try to find tamarind,it burns really hot and clean, can be expensive though. Wood is a somewhat precious commodity and seems to be regulated. Driving up somewhere and coming back with a truck load of pine or whatever can get one into trouble if stopped by the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
