Agree. What would you expect on top of highest mountain in the cold season. News would be "warm weather on top of Doi Inthanon in winter"

Gee, this GW/CC thing is really have a big effect intropical countries.

For those of us that are used to cold weather or been brought up in the colder weather, this would be nothing more than a cold day but for the majority of Thais, this sort of temperature is very unusual and something to see and to experience. We can all be blase about temperatures but for those that haven't seen higher and lower temperatures, again, it's somethibg to see. I remember we went up to CM one year and up the mountain, my wife and son with their thick jackets (just bought specially for the trip) and wooly hats on, me in short sleeve shirt. We got up to the top, looked at my son and couldn't help but smile at him with his chattering teeth, rosy red cheeks and bright red nose
