Lacessit Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Currently quite chilly in Chiang Rai at night, went looking for a small heater. Global House, Thai Watsadu and HomePro - mai mee. The only ones I can find are infra-red radiant, coupled to a fan. 3000 baht. Are you kidding me? I can buy a small fan heater in Australia for about 500 baht. Opportunity for a business importing them, except tariffs would probably kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 A bit like selling a fridge to an Eskimo I would have thought. ???? Plenty on Lazada for a few hundred baht ! https://s.lazada.co.th/s.ZwEEu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my GF's village is quite cold at night over December and January. I brought a fleecy track suit for her father back from Australia. My GF is wearing the sheepskin Ugg boots as I write. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BritManToo Posted December 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Was down to 20c in San Sai last night. That would be a warm summers day back in the UK, everyone out in shorts with their shirts off. Edited December 7, 2019 by BritManToo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Here, in Bangkok, it got down to 18 last night. I like it. But, when hopping out of the shower, it can result is a case of stiffy nipple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Why waste money on heaters unless temps consistently below 10c, get a fleece tracky to wear when drops below 12c. Even in Aust always wore shorts when 15c. Save electricity and the environment. ❤???????????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Denim Posted December 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2019 18 indoors this morning and 15 outside. T shirt and shorts weather. No more naked breakfast chef. Just turn on two rings of the gas cooker for 10 minutes to take the edge off the chill. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much electricity do you think you use posting on Thai Visa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frequently hits mid-upper 30s on good ones nowadays, which of course doesn't excuse UK weather from being utter shiiite rest of the time. Anyway, doesn't sansai get down to around 12?

White Christmas13 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I just can't understand why on earth, anybody needs a heater in Thailand. I live in OZ and the temperature gets a bit colder in winter here, then in Thailand. I don't have a heater at all and don't have air con. Yes summer started where I live and we had a week with no less then 35 degrees(many days 40 plus) and I did not even use my fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
