I suggest that you stop reading my posts then, as most are made for humorous effect, which clearly you don't get. There is a block function you know; I suggest that you use it. ok, i really didn't get it.... humor. I would never have guessed.. hot weather, curry, in the same posting... that's hilarious... And now a block function, like Legos - a good suggestion on a hot day.. I never had legos when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I manage whit fan in north isan. Mrs say also its really hot now, her girl not manage whitout AC ever. I also prefer fan to A/C ... don't actually use the A/C much at all ... maybe on v e r y hot nights ... Helps me get and stay acclimatized ... There's also just something nicer about fan ... the sense that I'm in touch with the environment, in a hot country a long way from home. Says I'm in Thailand/Asia. A/C is more of a bubble that I feel cuts me off from the outside world. Could be anywhere. Though I do hide happily in a mall at midday or so 555 Edited April 24, 2021 by BusyB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 43 on my small farmland today made a separate room with air-con in my farmhouse mancave to have a few beers. The hottest I can ever remember it was visiting a Thai, let's say 'acquaintance', on her family's farm near Udon Thani. It was over 40 then, and I can remember hanging in a hammock under the house, grateful for every slight hint of air movement (there weren't many) because it wasn't possible to do anything else. Riding a motocy didn't help either. It always did elsewhere because the airflow seems cooler. But it didn't help at all in those temperatures - it was like trying to cool off with a hairdryer ... (And no she never came anywhere near bankrupting me. Pleasant dalliance and nice experience, but no more, although I was quite fond of her. I called it a day after 2 years when she started to play power games. I did warn her that I can't be bothered with that but she unfortunately didn't take the hint ... oh well ...)

This time of year only when there's been some rain and cooled a little bit I might ride the bike, truck and scoot most of the time. The house is OK with fans during day downstairs but air-con comes on in TV room about 5 ish. I put an air-con in a room I built inside my mancave just outside the village for this hot time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oobar Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Familiarity with the heat made designing our Isaan home easy. We just bought 8 air conditioners and built a house around them. Works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm safe from covid in my mancave you're welcome for a beer anytime in Muang Kao that is Old City (Old Sukhothai). New Sukhothai is a bit dodgy at the moment, not a good time to travel there IMHO.

ChrisKC Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I agree, it's hot. In 19 years here, last year and this year have been the hottest. By coincidence, like Pilotman, I was cooking a curry while my wife and little dog were enjoying the aircon upstairs I claim to be good in the heat and have said so a couple of time on this forum as it relates to my biking. Usually, I go out in the heat of the day and ride for up to two hours and with my cruising speed around 27kph I create a breeze that keeps me cool. Recently though, the heat has been overcoming me that makes me more tired. I do drink about half a litre of water before I go out and on return home drink about a litre and half, recovering well. But all is well; I came here to live because I spent more than 50 years being cold and expected to stay warm and that satisfies one reason why I won't be cold ever again! Well, alright, when I am lying on life's final slab I will be cold but won't feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTB1977 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Don't get me wrong, I like to cook. But why isn't she cooking. I assume you pay the bills, built the house, bought the car and so on. But she is the one who likes to eat every couple hours. And is setting in the air-conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
