Does it cool down in HH?
Does it cool down in HH?
Does it get cold at night at all in HH? Should we get rid of our winter jammies and jackets before we leave?
It only really cools down at night around December/January time, and then the coolest I've ever known it to drop to was about 18 degrees ........ its chilly when you've lived here for so long.

Firstly all temperatures mentioned in previous posts are correct. We had six weeks recently of 40+ every day, but only around midday.
The winter here last year was quite mild. The year before though I recorded 14 degrees one night. This is bearable if you are wearing a jeacket but if you travel on a motorbike it will freeze your tits off.
You will acclimatize within a few years.

Back to the topic. Hua Hin doesn't get the same cool temperatures as the north does. Like Guess said it can sometimes go to around +15 C but that happens rarely. Funny though, that when it drops to around +20 you start feeling cold. This is something I can't explain to friends and relatives back at home, they'd think I've gone mad.
My goodness, you go to cold saunas, the temperature in a real sauna should be at least 80 C. Go and try it at the Grand Sport.try sitting in a sauna its about the same without the steam

You have to understand that things are different in the land of the good Doctor. Up there a Jacuzzi is Chicken Vindaloo and Chips followed by a hot bath.Bamboo Grove wrote:The Monsta wrote

My first year here, I really did not notice any cold at all, in fact I was amazed looking at the Thais wearing many layers of clothing and jackets.
I live out of town up at Khao Hin Lek Fai, and the following year I felt the cold first thing in the morning.
The coldest it got was a right parky 16C.
Last time I was in England two years ago, I left the airport wearing wooly jumper and warm coat, (Dec 5th - 2C) never thinking I would need them again I left them in the suitcase, needless to say the wooly comes in handy first thing in the morning during Dec and Jan.
Have lived in N. Ireland, Scotland, West coast of Ireland and loved the brisk mornings. Most of my family still live in these places and think I've gone well soft.
One good thing about acclimatising to the hot weather is that the mosquitoes tend to leave you alone when your blood warms up to the conditions.

Hi, here I could not resist the comment.... being almost from Scandinaviadr dave soul monsta wrote:try sitting in a sauna its about the same without the steam,or try sitting in a green house on the hottest day ever in manchester that would be almost the same er! maybe not !
What kind of sauna dr dave soul monsta is pointing there?
If without steam (as told ) then to standard Finnish sauna no one ever tries to enter before it has reached +80 C air temperature at least, but usual usage is around + 100 to + 120 degrees air temperature in sauna
BUT please remember - this is extra non humid, very dry air there, and You will enjoy this +120 C temperature according to your body condition from one minute up to... maybe anyway not more than 15 minutes.
Then it is absolutely obligatory to have a quick /splash swim in water (pool, lake or sea close to sauna) with preferaby +5 to +15 C temperature.
Please believe me, you will not forget this Finnish sauna experience
