rooster59 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Cold spell is coming, signalling the start of tourism season in North Cold spell from China is now flowing down to blanket Thailand's northern region with some provinces started to experience the colder weather. The arrival of the cold wind was evident when morning fogs getting thicker with visibility said to be less than 15 metres in some provinces in the north where floodings have just wreaked extensive havoc on farmlands and residential areas. The unusual thick fog signals the upcoming cold season for this year and also the start of the tourism season in the northern tourist destinations. Motorists are warned of thick fog and poor visibility while driving on roads in the northern region. Although several northern provinces still faced rain and flood but weathermen said the rainy season for the north will soon end and overall temperature will gradually drop.

jaltsc Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 "Thailand's northern region with some provinces started to experience the colder weather. " Must be a giant freeze coming. I went to buy a pair of cross country skis and some snow shoes. There weren't any to be found. Must have been a rush on them since everyplace seemed to be sold out.

I was in Hang Dong,actually put a jumper on one night.Not many live at the base of the mountains ,half your luck. By the way I am talking about now,next week,next month ,it will be December before anything remotely like a cool snap arrives.Its the usual TAT PR strategy to get Thais to travel north and stand on top of Doi Ithanon I still swim 365 days a year as many friends do.I would suggest with respect that being 'cold ' here may only occur if you choose to wear no clothes.

"I would suggest with respect that being 'cold ' here may only occur if you choose to wear no clothes". I wonder if wearing clothes would have helped these guys: "2013’s winter saw 63 fatalities reported by early January, including a British man. The cold affected many, with the youngest at just one month old, the oldest at 81 years old, and all ages in between. This year’s official count is not yet published but it’s usually around the same number each year". http://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/news/when-thailand-gets-cold/ Or these: http://news.asiaone.com/news/asia/more-deaths-reported-cold-weather-thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
