Popular Post Toohotinbangkok Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) I'm tired of this stinking hot weather, it's driving nuts I'm quite a irritable person from that, I feel miserable here in Thailand. I'm also drinking way too much and getting these horrible dehydration hangovers and can't get my appetite up, I barely eat at all and can't sleep too.

Popular Post chrisinth Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 Stupid question I know, but unless you are working here, why did you pick Thailand if you don't want hot weather? Covid shouldn't be an excuse anymore for keeping you here and even if you are married, you can still move to colder clims; very little restrictions here even given the messed up global travel 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 Count yourself lucky. This time of year the temperature would normally be 40 plus, but the recent rain that most regions have had has cooled things down considerably. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is I was in the village where it was 37°c average and was sleeping better in the fan room than I do in bangkok with A/C on full blast, Plus I felt a feeling on contentness in isaan , Where as bangkok I feel like I'm constantly stressed out . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, But this place makes me lazy, Feels like shopping mall after shopping mall.... the brutal heat makes me wanna stay in the room but then I go stir crazy from being stuck inside.... BKK is great but flawed, I think Lamai/ Samui might be the cure, Those locals are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon they discover that after a ten-minute walk, they need a shower. I hate feeling sticky all the time too. But I wouldn't mind living in Chiang Mai if I really needed to leave my four-seasonal country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I had dehydration and felt like I needed a IV drip I was so tired, I think westerners who believe thailand is a paradise are often wrong, It can be opposite at times as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm sure you know, after you are here a couple of years your body adapt somewhat. I don't mean you won't feel the heat in mar/apr/may but the rest of the year will get easier every year.

CygnusX1 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 When I was last in Thailand I’d meet Scandinavians in my condo block who’d tell me that they were in Thailand for a few months to escape the cold of a European winter. I’d reply that I was spending a few months in Thailand to escape the heat of an Australian summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you just seem to not be able to see faults in it, Me I just think it's too darn hot and the cheap beer is garbage and it's getting to expensive to live here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
