I loved and love to visit Thailand in April and May. I knew it was hot, at least about 42°C or more, I even used go biking during the days and everyone in the village thought I was mad, but I loved the heat, just drinking water with a little salt in it.
I hear you Ryan when you talk about not trusting humanity. Humans can be so cruel to each other, we love your little slice of paradise in Thailand, and family is truly important 👍
Another great video Ryan! That pump looks like it'll help Damo's dad quite a bit, very kind of you. And thanks for talking about the heat! I lived in Vietnam for a few years and I eventually grew to enjoy the heat quite a bit. I've been back in Canada for a few years now, and I'm officially done with cold weather. I am planning on making my way back to SEAsia, specifically Thailand, in the next year or so. I hope my memories of enjoying the heat are accurate :) I'll send good vibes to your plants to help them get through the heat. Much love to you and the family 🥰
Oh and a tip for you if you don't know already. Here in Australia we water our plants and vegetables very early morning or at night.Not good to water them in the hot sun.
The positive is the family is together and community come together. I’m in sydney and my parents literally live 5 mins away and due to the busy work life here hardly see them or my brother and sister. That’s why I love your channel. The family unity is beautiful
The heat is definitely real! We just spent a couple of weeks in Yasothon and it was so hard to be outside during the day. Multiple cold showers everyday seems to help though. 😅
@@lifeinruralthailand Yeah, one for each main room. The only thing is the filters do need changing about every six months. The machine let's us know when they need replacing but there easy to buy online
If possible water any plants from the base making sure they are watered thoroughly so the water reaches the roots and is not just sprinkled on the top soil to be burnt off by the sun that would help Leave the hosepipe on drip if needed which means you don't have to hold it much you can put plastic containers in the soil and top those up to ensure roots get watered . If you put plants in full sun make sure they can handle it eg succulents
Songkran can be quite hot although last year didn't seem too bad (village home outside of Udon). Thankfully there is usually a thunderstorm to cool things down however briefly. We have an above ground portable swimming pool fixture for the kids to cool off, usual fans and air con, and seek shade whenever possible. Cheers.
Good vlog Ryan. I was in Cambodia a few years ago and visited both the killing fields and Tuol Sleng the school where a lot of torture and killing happened. Cambodia was called Kampuchea back then. I have lived in Australia for quite a number of years so I know all about the heat you are going through but not so much the humidity you get in Thailand. Keep up the good work.
Thanks again Ryan and family for a very truthful vlog. I can vouch for evry word that yousaid about theheat here in Isaan. I am now in my eleventh year here in Khon Kaen and can more or less cope with temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius but find it difficult but have to find ways to stay cool above that. Fortunately I am an early morning person and gor for a walk in the cool around dawn. With regard to your baby rabbits, as well as the crows, snakes like the golden tree snake you saw the other day are quite capable of devouring a baby rabbit or two, particularly at night. Looking forward to your relaunch of The Naked Guru whilst the hot weather keeps me indoors. God bless you all and keep the whole family safe. 🙂🙏❤
Another great vlog. Many thanks both of you. I think many people here in Thailand and overseas have discussed the issue of the heat. And there is no doubt it really is a MAJOR issue especially for newcomers. There is also talk about Thailand getting hotter. I can't comment on that but one thing I can say from experience is that I worked in Club Med in Phuket for a couple of years in 1986 and the heat was exactly the same back then.
The winters here long and cold heat cost high . Are southern states are like where you live and its great . . Stay cool 😎 and have fun 👍 enjoy life . God bless all
Great post as always, had to buy a portable aircon unit when staying in a village near buriram this time of year, was like my pet following me around the house.
Mate - very heartfelt message at the end - looking forward to the return of the Naked Guru - have been with you on both journeys - TIM , PERTH AUSTRALIA
Same issues here in Australia. I have worked in the mines here in the north west. It's not unusual for the temperature to hit 50c plus in the summer. It's a dry heat mostly but hard too get used to. Thailand is more humid which in its self is hard to take but it's just a few months to suffer. I have tried to save my plants in the summer here but it's just too hot and dry. You can try shade but it will only help a little. The inflatable pool is brilliant and a life saver in the heat. Enjoy the rain when it comes, all the best
Great that you mentioned about the heat and how it makes us lazy out here.....I thought it was me just being lazy at this time..... before in the cooler months, I would walk in the mornings and busy around the house, now it's totally changed...
Because avocado roots grow near the surface of the soil, mulch also helps trees manage heat by keeping the soil (and roots) cool. Cover crops also can aid in keeping groves cool. The cover crop can prevent water runoff, improve water retention in the soil, lower the air temperature in the grove and keep the soil cool. Wilting can be a sign of root problem and is also associated with excessing sun and heat. When you combine the two issues, it does point to environmental stresses. High temperatures above 90 degrees on young trees and plants can initiate wilting. How do I protect my avocado from the sun? Put on sunscreen. For avocados, Coppertone will not do. But white latex paint will. It doesn't need to be full strength: diluting the paint 50/50 with water will make a sufficiently opaque coating. Fortunately, avocado trees can thrive in heat well above 75 degrees as long as they're watered sufficiently. But there does come a point on the thermometer at which an avocado tree suffers regardless of how much moisture is in the soil. Apparently, above roughly 90 degrees avocado trees begin to function poorly. Avocado plants are best grown in containers in a warm, bright spot indoors. They can also be grown in a heated greenhouse. Move plants into lower light conditions or position shade cloth above them. Increase watering frequency slightly and water during the coolest parts of the day. Dark burns will not disappear, but burnt leaves will eventually fall off to be replaced with new growth.
I am one of those cool weather warriors that you spoke about.These 3 months are just too hot this year.I would normally have a month in Thailand at our Easter/songkran.But this years extreme heat has put me off..
I have been living in Thailand since 2009 in Bangkok. The trick for me with the heat is to be careful and mindful of the amount of time you are exposed to it. There are plenty of opportunities downtown to 'take a break' in air-conditioning and you must utilize them. Don't go to places where you can't take breaks out of the heat. Yeah, out in the countryside the pools seem like a good idea but the A/C is the best so good to get a 2nd one.
Very good Air Purifiers! I bought two 2H (smaller) units a couple years ago. I plan to buy two 4 Pro (largest) once the demand [and price] drops. Filters aren't too expensive.
I have started a resort 105kms from you. Getting difficult to build anything now. Workers are fully employed. The pump is similar to our aeriator system we made using solar panel, battery and pump with venturi.
@@lifeinruralthailand Too far from you really. Looked at a few of your videos. Your doing very well. We started on the slant of a fishing park but she enjoys it so much out there it has become our home during the days. Been at it 1 year from start and our biggest problems have been new road with rain and getting builders. They are all getting too much work now.
Thank you Ryan for your warning about the heat in Thailand. I had planned to retire there but I hate hot and humid climates. I've only experienced it in Cancun. I believe I'd be miserable in that weather. You sound Irish. I know yiur british. Thanks again.
I’m north of you in the Roi Et province… the highest I saw was 41C last week. This is my first year here and is definitely very hot. This week the humidity is making it feel worse… so I decided to add another AC unit. Well worth it for me. I’ve come to realize that while I would embrace some of their custom and traditions. Other things I won’t and I would try to make things easier for my family. While they’re set in their ways and changing them is just not possible, I will do what I think is best. You should do a blog about all the myths the local have towards modern comforts. I see it every day here (I’m the only “farang” in my village so I’m used to it 😅)
❤✨I was there Jan-Feb so was just right for me. I just ❤your philisophy & your children couldn't have a better father! I get it Ryan at times being in a dream world you just don't think of all the pros & cons. I realise 3m is enough away from 🇸🇪winter. ❤️🙏🏻💞💞💞💞
Very good video! I don't think most people consider the extreme heat and humidity that Thailand can offer. And the rainy season is coming, which adds it's own complications into the equasion. I hope to return to the farm on the 9th of April. We are 100% off grid with solar and batteries. But since the new guest cottage was completed last week, the current system isn't keeping up with the increased demands. We have no a/c only fans. Obviously, keepeing them funning through the night is a priority that I will address upon arrival. There is no electric service within a reasonable distance so additional panels and batteries is the only solution. All things to consider if you want to live a rural Thai lifestyle. No, it's not all butterflies and rainbows. Rural life can be hard and is not for everyone. But for those that it is, something quite amazing can be found. I wouldn't trade it for a condo in the city, even with a/c! LOL Keep up the good stuff! Quite enjoy the Naked Guru as well.
Average Temperature in Buriram The hot season lasts for 2.1 months, from March 3 to May 5, with an average daily high temperature above 94°F. The hottest month of the year in Buriram is April, with an average high of 96°F and low of 79°F. 2.1 months is not too bad. Take heart that it is not 2.1 months of cold and 10 months of Sahara hot. I am confident you will find ingenious ways to make peace with it.
OMG! There’s two gecko on your wall (20:00) I had one that jumped on me when I visited my relatives….years ago .. for people who’s not used to seeing them it’s scary as hell 😂
90’s and 103 degrees F is super hot! The humidity makes it worse. Start very early in the day and end early in the afternoon to enjoy your family….I surmise would be ideal.
Got myself an air purifier 2 weeks ago but went for a smaller and cheaper type. My condo is 36 sqm so size played a part. I'm on DM airport flightpath and due to the smog Iater I can hear but not see the airplanes most days. Jury's is out if its making a difference but My chest is definitely better though
thx ryan ,damo,otis and hugo for the video, i have been here since aug 21, friends who told me march, april , may were really hot, well 2022 was ok , but this year oh my bhudda its very uncomfortable ,,roll on may june and onwards lol
It has definitely been to hot the past weeks especially for us light heads. I struggle as you with being passive in the heat. Early mornings are best but even so any work makes you literally melt away. The cool and clean air is something I appreciate in Europe. So much else not though.
Agreed Ryan 🔥! We had a saying in Canada in the summer when the mercury would reach close to 30C saying it's Africa Hot! To hell with Africa hot...how about Thailand Hot! , my first full summer here, and yes don't think of doing much of anything in the afternoon! Good vlog, and the crystal on those buds at the end..wow!😅 Chok dee!
We spend the day under the house in hammocks and swing chairs, no such luxuries as air-con.😂 Then venture out at about 5.00 to do the chores. We live near Ko Lanta, so the main crops are rubber and palm oil, so luckily no crop burning, the down side is no views, everywhere just trees. On balance, it's still better than living in UK though.
Love your video ,agree with you about Cambodia it’s happening we live in a wonderful world, my god some people do you crazy thing, and we don’t seem to learn from other people to mistakes, we say o terrible we still physically don’t do anything to stop these things happening time and time again. I don’t know what the answer is.
🥵 I'm watching this in the morning while sitting a few feet from my fan downstairs. I'm across the border from you in Surin and a few days ago started going into an air conditioned room in the afternoon for a couple hours until market time everyday. I grew up with heat in south Texas and now that I am older it really wears me down. Looking forward to clouds and light rain. 😂
Hi guys 👋 I've been watching you all for about 1 year I love your videos such a great job you both do I watch my TH-cam on my television so You can't really comment unless I grab my phone. Lol Anyway. Your children are beautiful. Otis is such a cutie. Anyway, I was going to say air conditioners and especially air purifiers need to have the door closed your front door. If you're trying to make the air clean, you need to shut your bedroom door most of the time or leave your front door closed You're just defeating the purpose and making the unit work harder than it should with the front door open. My dad sold these type of units .. anyway you have the best homestead and family farm Sooo Cuteee 🥰 love the animal 👋👍
Thanks Ryan for the nice video. I'm currently an air pollution refugee in Philippines, who would have thought that Manilla is perceived as "clean air"!! Close to Laos border (Nong Khai/ Udon Thani area) the pollution is bad for 2.5 months now. With COPD, not a good combo. After being mostly locked up for 6 weeks in the air-conditioning room (with cheap china air filter) I was going crazy.... Combined with the heat, regularly above 40c.. So a short holiday to literally catch my breath! So amazing good to be able to walk outside!!!!! And Cebu is nice cool, 30-35c 😂 I wanted to ask what type is your purifier? Xiaomi.... ??? Once again, thanks for the great show.
It sure is hot...here 39 / 40 every day but feels like 43...love the little cool tub where can l get one...what happened to the jacuzzi you built next to the kitchen...l see it's empty now ...love your vlogs ❤
Like your vlog and the "ranting". 👍 I have lived in rural Thailand during wintertime, but that was a long time ago. Please elaborate with your thoughts about safety and protection? A locked gate will not help very far against the humanity you don´t trust. What meassures have you taken to protect your family in case of for example night intruders?
Respect your escape from the matrix. Doing your job wonderfully as a protector of your family and land. You were meant for such a time as this as we all are😎
young tree's that are standing alone receive far more direct sunlight than those in groups or forests where they receive some partial shading during the day. They need a little help with some artificial shading for a few years on those really bad days......... in Aussie we often work outside at night when its in the low 40's on some days and you can fry an egg on the car bonnet ! 😂
Also I guess you have to get up very early and do animals before it gets hot and then later at night. 👋 Is the Rabbit Cage / area hard to keep clean ? If I remember they do poo a lot right ? Lol
Yeah , hot , 38 C and my builders building my house in Isaan seven days per week , I suppose they are used to it , amazing. I am retired , but from Australia , can survive few months of this. So don't be a whinnying pom Ryan , hahaha ....
Heat period at the moment and unfortunately super pollution from burning sent so many people to hospitals in Chiang Mai ( most polluted city in the world these last days ) and Chiang Rai....it's a shame how nobody cares ( from government ) year after year since more than 10 years now.......otherwise the best drink during the summer season is fresh coconut water. :)
This comment might be dated but we visited Thailand this April 2024 and it was Hot! I have seen a few videos saying this may be one of the hottest months on record for South East Asia. Stay Cool!!
regards at 13.00 you said air quality got up to 140, i watched bill in chiang mai (you tuber) saying it was reading 380,,,horrendous, this has to adressed, horrible for everyone. thai govt do something please!

That’s some hardcore purification but yea I think they really do!
@@lifeinruralthailand Yeah, one for each main room. The only thing is the filters do need changing about every six months. The machine let's us know when they need replacing but there easy to buy online
Yea, not cheap but not breaking the 🏦
If possible water any plants from the base making sure they are watered thoroughly so the water reaches the roots and is not just sprinkled on the top soil to be burnt off by the sun that would help
Leave the hosepipe on drip if needed which means you don't have to hold it much you can put plastic containers in the soil and top those up to ensure roots get watered .
If you put plants in full sun make sure they can handle it eg succulents

36°C is my kind of weather. Sometimes, it's over 46°C in Arizona, USA... 😀
What brand is the air filter
It has definitely been to hot the past weeks especially for us light heads. I struggle as you with being passive in the heat. Early mornings are best but even so any work makes you literally melt away. The cool and clean air is something I appreciate in Europe. So much else not though.
Agreed Ryan 🔥! We had a saying in Canada in the summer when the mercury would reach close to 30C saying it's Africa Hot! To hell with Africa hot...how about Thailand Hot! , my first full summer here, and yes don't think of doing much of anything in the afternoon! Good vlog, and the crystal on those buds at the end..wow!😅 Chok dee!
What's the name of the air-con or purifier?
Thanks
Nice vlog love your home.
We spend the day under the house in hammocks and swing chairs, no such luxuries as air-con.😂 Then venture out at about 5.00 to do the chores. We live near Ko Lanta, so the main crops are rubber and palm oil, so luckily no crop burning, the down side is no views, everywhere just trees. On balance, it's still better than living in UK though.
Love your video ,agree with you about Cambodia it’s happening we live in a wonderful world, my god some people do you crazy thing, and we don’t seem to learn from other people to mistakes, we say o terrible we still physically don’t do anything to stop these things happening time and time again. I don’t know what the answer is.
If you’ve not done so, might want to consider installing uv and heat filtering window film
Will look into this actually 👍
🥵 I'm watching this in the morning while sitting a few feet from my fan downstairs. I'm across the border from you in Surin and a few days ago started going into an air conditioned room in the afternoon for a couple hours until market time everyday. I grew up with heat in south Texas and now that I am older it really wears me down. Looking forward to clouds and light rain. 😂
I love watching the geckos scampering about in the background. Those little buggers must be boiling! Thanks mate for another awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it my friend 🙏
Come to USA in my state of Utah still snowing every day it Heavy snow. Also I’m from Cambodia
Weather is hot but not the same all over Thailand
Ryan, would you consider using an hydroponic system for watering some of your plants?
Ive looked into it but i prefer the old fashioned method! for now. haha
Hi guys 👋 I've been watching you all for about 1 year I love your videos such a great job you both do
I watch my TH-cam on my television so You can't really comment unless I grab my phone. Lol Anyway. Your children are beautiful. Otis is such a cutie. Anyway, I was going to say air conditioners and especially air purifiers need to have the door closed your front door. If you're trying to make the air clean, you need to shut your bedroom door most of the time or leave your front door closed You're just defeating the purpose and making the unit work harder than it should with the front door open. My dad sold these type of units .. anyway you have the best homestead and family farm
Sooo Cuteee 🥰 love the animal 👋👍
6:10-6:16
‘Oh dear, ‘Tis… you’re in Thailand.
Must go visit Grandma and Grandpa in UK😂❤ ❤❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧😢
too late but thanks for the headsup 😁 I am jealous about all those animals!
As always, i enjoyed watching this vlog. I really want to see damo's twin sister and other sister too clearly LoL
I’m having a lot of enjoyment from my micro misting system to cool the hot days, don’t see much of that in Thailand
❤ you are very good heart
Thanks Ryan for the nice video.
I'm currently an air pollution refugee in Philippines, who would have thought that Manilla is perceived as "clean air"!!
Close to Laos border (Nong Khai/ Udon Thani area) the pollution is bad for 2.5 months now.
With COPD, not a good combo.
After being mostly locked up for 6 weeks in the air-conditioning room (with cheap china air filter) I was going crazy.... Combined with the heat, regularly above 40c..
So a short holiday to literally catch my breath!
So amazing good to be able to walk outside!!!!!
And Cebu is nice cool, 30-35c 😂
I wanted to ask what type is your purifier? Xiaomi.... ???
Once again, thanks for the great show.
Hey Frank it’s a xiomi 4 lite 👍😊
I like Damos sister in the white tshirt! Beautiful
She looks like Damo mum
It sure is hot...here 39 / 40 every day but feels like 43...love the little cool tub where can l get one...what happened to the jacuzzi you built next to the kitchen...l see it's empty now ...love your vlogs ❤
That’s the one I set up for the other kids - it broke and the new one doesn’t fit that surround. You can get off lazada 🙏😁✊🇹🇭
what does kapoom mean?
Sounds like June to September in Texas
I’m sure they use centigrade in Thailand, which everybody understands.
Like your vlog and the "ranting". 👍
I have lived in rural Thailand during wintertime, but that was a long time ago.
Please elaborate with your thoughts about safety and protection?
A locked gate will not help very far against the humanity you don´t trust.
What meassures have you taken to protect your family in case of for example night intruders?
8 hungry dogs that attack anyone that even comes by the walk road 👍
Respect your escape from the matrix. Doing your job wonderfully as a protector of your family and land. You were meant for such a time as this as we all are😎
Very hot in bkk these last 2/3 weeks. I am still adjusting but coping quite well 😅
thanks
Definitely go and set up a pool
young tree's that are standing alone receive far more direct sunlight than those in groups or forests where they receive some partial shading during the day. They need a little help with some artificial shading for a few years on those really bad days......... in Aussie we often work outside at night when its in the low 40's on some days and you can fry an egg on the car bonnet ! 😂
Today is my third day being a Khon Kaen resident and all I can say is I’m soooo glad I have three air conditioners!! 🤣🤣🤣
It's also a good idea to invest in 2 good,not outrageously expensive, air purifies which the HEPA filters are easy to buy in plentiful numbers.
nice
Also I guess you have to get up very early and do animals before it gets hot and then later at night. 👋
Is the Rabbit Cage / area hard to keep clean ? If I remember they do poo a lot right ? Lol
Yeah , hot , 38 C and my builders building my house in Isaan seven days per week , I suppose they are used to it , amazing.
I am retired , but from Australia , can survive few months of this.
So don't be a whinnying pom Ryan , hahaha ....
yes i noticed there was a new naked guru vid
Heat period at the moment and unfortunately super pollution from burning sent so many people to hospitals in Chiang Mai ( most polluted city in the world these last days ) and Chiang Rai....it's a shame how nobody cares ( from government ) year after year since more than 10 years now.......otherwise the best drink during the summer season is fresh coconut water. :)
This comment might be dated but we visited Thailand this April 2024 and it was Hot! I have seen a few videos saying this may be one of the hottest months on record for South East Asia. Stay Cool!!
When are we going to see Darmo sisters?🤔
Definitely hotter this year… we bought a small pool ish….. thought it was for the kids but wife took over..
In April, I have a soaking wet shirt on all day long. It makes a huge difference.
บรรยากาศดีจ้า
Poor doggies thanks god you allow them to come in rest🌹👍
What's child care like over there? Expensive?
❤
regards at 13.00 you said air quality got up to 140, i watched bill in chiang mai (you tuber) saying it was reading 380,,,horrendous, this has to adressed, horrible for everyone. thai govt do something please!
It is really bad! Kika’s thousands - I covered it in last weeks vlog the burning 👍👍
In Australia they used to say , when is hot like this , one only sees mad dogs and Englishmen in the street !
