Now please don't tell me it's not cold.

[BigBadGeordie]

I know that everything is relative, but it is damned cold in Buriram tonight, my fish in the dam have not eaten for 3 days, the dog will not get off his blanket, all the people in the village look and dress like Nanook of the North.

It's bloody cold.

When I first arrived in Thailand my comment would be "it's not cold, it's cooler". And as anyone who knows anything about the Geordies, we take our shirts off at home games in December.

But bugger me it's cold.

I offer this post, primarly as an observation, and perhaps as a statement, that the more experience you have, the less you judge the values of others,

First glance of sun here (west of Khon Kaen) after 4 days with thick clouds.

Yesterday windy, cool, dark. Some rain. Felt like European November

Sitting in the room wearing a tracksuit plus socks and slippers.

Nobody will believe that this is living in the tropics

The Chinese are at fault, the bad weather comes from them

Cross my fingers that the sun will break through tommorow.

Not bad at all in CM....imagine riding a motorbike early or late would be cold.....extra blanket on the bed though which to me is a good idea because it keeps the wife from bundling up - hate the feeling of cloth next to me.....we have one window open in the bedroom and downstairs screen doors and windows open.....

60° is cold? After spending a winter in Duluth/Superior, not much is cold.

As i said "Its all relative". But then again, as a child I swam in the North Sea 300 days a year, but hey we all get older, and perhaps, softer.

Bangkok is chilly too.

[WhamBam]

I'll be taking a drop of 24 deg C in a couple of days and wishing it qas 30 deg C......... you lucky people .... relatively speaking

I like the cold during the day as I am teaching 40 students per class so it's more pleasant than the hotter months. The one thing I do not like is the morning showers, watching the light on the shower box to see that it's on and jumping in and out of the way of it's spray as it losses it's temperature. Also first thing in the morning and sitting for the morning bowel movement and the seat is bloody cold! Quite a shock!!

Try squatting, then only your feet get cold.

Today, where i am, the sun was shining. I sat in normal 10 degrees on a terrace with friends with coats and scarfes on. and had a laugh. The sun was shining and i think my freckles came out again. And we had a laugh, probably thinking about the people that we know dying of heat in Thailand... cos they cant handle the heat.

The see saw goes two ways.

My wife's walking around with my puffer jacket on, im sat in shorts and a tshirt

[ExPratt]

Yesterday was cloudy and cooler 23 ish , The weather over the last month has been a mixture of overcast days and no rain and absolutely glorious sunshine maxing at about 34

The worst 'Tropical Winter" I went through was in Wuhan in 2008. Normally their cold snap is about a month but this year happened to be the coldest winter in living memory, Minus 15 for a couple of months with nothing to warm the house up except a Air-con on heat, which are useless.The construction work stopped due to the weather so we were stuck at home freezing our nuts off

First time in 10 years I've needed to get out my woolly-pully

The final sentence of your post, copied above, is fantastic, and I totally agree with the sentiment.

13 in balmy Hang Dong this morning...

shower box had to be turned up to high to offset/feel hot.....

[MILT]

This is my favorite time of the year weather wise...Loving the cool/cold mornings and late nights...

Unfortunately this nice weather will not last and then back to the great weather year round....

It appears you are no longer a Geordie.

They are never cold, refuse to wear jackets and umbrellas are for pooftahs!

I suspect I may have gone "native".

[ChrisB87]

I am chilled right through to the bone.

[meatboy]

[thejcb]

It's not cold

[Keesters]

Not as cold as some places I've lived but for Thailand I'd say it is cool. Wish it would last a bit longer.

Not bad? Ha! 20c in the condo this morn and my blood has been sufficiently thinned to be used to warmer weather. I am cold! The wife? She has discovered that I had a sleeping bag and she loves it. I fondly remember looking out over snow covered field in the U.S. but I did not come to Thailand for this much cool weather! Ah, well, this too shall pass.

My gf is wearing my sheepskin coat. It probably weighs as much as she does.
