How do you heat your home in Thailand?

[BlackJack]

splash perfume on myself and then go home

she gets made as hell

and you can feel the heat coming off her

its enough to cook an egg

I've seen houses in the mountains up north with a fireplace and they use it in the really cold period.

The safest and cheapest way is to buy electric heaters, if not available here you can order from Ebay.

Simply turn on TVF when the conspiracy theorists are about. More than enough hot air to heat any home.

As retrofit we use inverter air conditioning which produces heat as well as cold and regulates a temperature you set. If going again for new build, I would use the same if in central or southern regions but if up north, I would use a specific heat generation solution.

I keep farting all day long seems to do the trick

Move the gas barbie into lounge/bedroom, cook something, problem solved.

Of all the daft posts on here this is definitely up there with the best. GET A GRIP OF YOUR BODY!

I live in the NE, and although cold season seemed to last for only about two weeks this year, I have a Dyson Hot Air heater that heats the living room nicely on chilly mornings

[smotherb]

Reckon if you live in a place like Chiang Rai, you would need some sort of heating at home.

I do live in CR and would never even consider wasting money on a heater for the house. On the really 'cold' days I simply wear a sweatshirt and socks in the morning and evening until the sun is up and it is warm enough to take the sweatshirt off. That said, it is only this kind of cold for maybe 10 days all year. I think one would have to be a real wuss to think that any kind of space heater is a must for those few 'cold' days. Now I will admit that taking a shower in the AM and PM does cause some trepidation (and some shrinkage) but that's part of the Thai experience here in the North.

Try warm water.

Depending upon how cold it is...it is a 1, 2, or 3 girl night...

[Centrum]

we build a fire on the floor in the lounge room during the cold nights ...

Imagine, having a lounge room to light a fire!

Hi-Sos and their multi-roomed lean-tos.

Coming from Sweden I dont have any problems. Late nite / morning temperatures around 10 /12degrees C is normal in the NE. And early spring temp. in Sweden. Get used to it,find a good lady or invest in some heating thing or find somewhere else - its only 1 or 2 months / year

I visited a friends house in Chiang rai at Christmas one year, he had built a great western fireplace. It was really cold outside, but that fire warmed up most of the house and was nice to sit in front of. I plan on building one too when my time for a house up north comes. If you didn't want to deal with all the masonry, there are contained metal wood stoves with a pipe that may be a little easier to install.

A lot of blokes seem to claim heating allowances back in the UK but I think they just keep in Thailand by quoffing beer Chang. LOL.

Love making.

Build your home with double walls, good 15 cm insulation in the attic... snug and warm in the short chilly times, cool in the hot.

Moved to housing forum.

[slipperylobster]

I turn the aircon backwards.

[elgenon]

When it gets way down to 21c here and all the Thais are freezing with chattering teeth and hard nipples, I close the doors and windows.

I really see no need for a heater in Thailand...ever!

If i had to choose between heat and seeing hard nipples I would choose

[Sandman77]

I never hear my home here in Thailand I can handle the coldness , because I come from the alps!

[lazygourmet]

OP question was not that stupid...

Last year we moved from Nonthaburi to uphill Khao Yai/Thap Lan national parks, Na Dee district.

Early this January, temperatures dropped to a shocking eight degrees celsius for a least two weeks ; and even today, around 7am, there was a mere fifteen...

As buildings are still under construction: in the evenings, we re-heated ourservelves with baked comfort foods while leaving the oven's door opened ;

and at nights, a comfy goose feather duvet was doing more than the trick.

For next "winter": a wood open fire and a chimney is definitely in the plans for our inside/out garden living room.

PS: our Persian cats seem to be the happiest with that cold weather and permanent fresh breeze...

My "heater", name Ting, keeps me warm !

[alantheembalmer]

Just get a few of those big temple candles, and huddle round them when it gets cold. If it gets really cold, then you can light them.

[wolfmanjack]

I have an oil filled electric heater i bought at global house. I didn't use it this year though.

[Bpuumike]

 

You can install Airconditioners that are of the heat pump variety, the same as in Europe or Libya. LG and others make them.

The obvious and simple option which works. Have been looking everywhere KK, Kalasin, Roi Et and even BKK with the same reply of "no have Thailand". Frustrating.

Get a "fan", named Tong, and you are good all year round.
