Not many Thais have hot showers

 

I never saw a cold shower in Thailand. Even without heating the water it is already hot.

 

In my home country a cold shower in winter will be only a couple of degrees away from freezing.

 

I liked the way they heat the water in the shower in Thailand, with a small electrical device heating the water only when it is needed. Thought about trying it in my home country, till I realized that it will not work in colder climates because it makes the water only a couple of degrees more hot.

My wife was the same when she first came to live in Phuket 12 years ago all I could think of was in BKK she was constantly in the A/C never getting fresh air, eventually it stopped, maybe because where we live we are surrounded by the Ocean in the morning when I get up I open all the doors and windows let the air blow through the house

In reality it may due to their avoidance of sun/UV light. With all the coverup powder and schemes to avoid "becoming dark skinned" they may have Vitamin D deficiency that makes them more susceptible to cold virus infections.

Never thought of that. Good point.

 

Isn't their food vitamin D rich?

I think it is more of a sinus irritation problem or natural body reaction than a virus or bacteria. 

If you come from a normally humid atmospheric area like Europe and stay in an AC hotel room with the cold dry air constantly blowing, your sinuses/ throat will become irritated for a few days.

I think Thai nasal sinuses react to the colder damp conditions during the rains, fooling them into thinking they have caught something.

any times I was under the rain with girls, and then the next day they were sick, at least with a sore throat.

experienced the same with many different women. many say rain made me sick. 

 

i would say in my case, the shear volume of women polled would validate your hypothesis.
