flyingsaucersarereal Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi there I would just like to comment on something that I find to be extremely funny. I see lots of Thai people wearing jackets and huddling around fires because they are cold. I find this funny as where I am from in Farangland it is really cold. Anyone else have a gf that acts like its snowing outside when its really 20 degrees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's been down to 22 -24 on Samui, last few days.... that feels cool... even a sweater or jacket needed for those of us, who are acclimatized to the heat...especially on a bike.... or extra blanket on the bed... Nothing odd about it at all... Go the Pai or some of the areas in the north and see how cool/ cold the mornings are at this time of year.... everyone wears extra clothing especially in the early mornings...

alantheembalmer Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Blimey, I must have developed Thainess, as even I am feeling cold. Last summer my wife went back to England to visit her relatives, and she said it was bloody freezing, when all around her were in their summer clothes. Must be down to the thinning of the blood?

Lite Beer Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Up here in Khon Kaen it is 13-14 in the mornings. Freezing. Really hate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlant Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I love it. I use the cooler time to do all the things I've put off because of the heat over the past year or so....'Suited and Booted' meetings or catch ups, taking the missus to usually furnace-like markets so she can shop her heart out, getting into the gardening (esp planting) and so on and so forth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Its funny when I see Frangs sweating like pigs and Mr Thai is bone dry. Real good point.. wish i had the Thais their problem after 8-9 years here I still sweat a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's all acclimatisation, but what I find really bemusing is when they put t-shirts and sweaters on freakin poodles and bulldogs as soon as it drops below 20 degrees. Its funny when I see Frangs sweating like pigs and Mr Thai is bone dry. Not much call to sweat when you're sat on your ars.e all day though.

Crossy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I feel cold enough to need a woolly first thing in the morning. But, I still sweat like a pig when it warms up (yes, I do remove the woolly). Can't win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah, they even put clothes on their dogs around here. I woke up shivering in bed last night and had to find something to wear in bed.°C18. Still looking for a heater. On the plus side I am getting a lot more done in the garden than I usually would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The worst thing about being cool at night is you don't sweat as much, so sometimes have to get up a pee, several times during the night! Sun is out on Samui today, I am sweating already and it's not that hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I still sweat like a pig when it warms up (yes, I do remove the woolly). Can't win Is that your pet name for a cuddle in the morning? Sweet It's conditioning. When I first came here, I felt the heat - bad. Now, less so. But feel cool once the temp heads below 15C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZBill Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 We live in central PA so it's about 30 F today. My wife has adapted pretty well but yes I know what you mean. Having lived in AZ for 20 years I can tell you your blood thins out and you feel the cooler temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
