Can You Handle Thailand's Heat? 🌞

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 เม.ย. 2024
- Thailand is currently experiencing a massive heatwave, with temperatures soaring above 40°C in most parts of the country. As a result, many people are struggling to cope with the sweltering conditions. In this video, I take a walk around Chiang Mai, discussing how the heatwave affects me and whether you should be concerned about visiting Thailand during the summer months.

have been in Chiang Mai in May/June i think that's why there is a 7/11 every 400 meters so you can get that blast of air con at the door in times like this lol
We get heat waves of over 40C here in Adelaide but it’s the humidity over there that zaps me!
Yes, the humidity is what makes it the worst.
Left Bangkok yesterday back to South Africa after two months in Chiang Mai. CM, was hot , but Bangkok was THE hottest day I experienced for sure. Weather forecast said, 37 degrees but feels like 46 !!! Thats insane and it really felt like it ! Tell you what, popping into a Seven Eleven feels like heaven and then to reach for a Singha soda water is the best thing ever !
Bangkok wasn’t to bad when I was there a few weeks ago. I know it gets hot hot hot though. How hot is South Africa?
You're getting into my head. I'm out in my garden today (alone) practicing saying things like - "touchin down!" in your accent. ARG
Haha the neighbours will think, what’s he on about haha
It's about 36 here on Phuket and feels hot as hell daytime.
Hope you getting some of that coastal breeze mate.
Thumbs up 👍 Wayne
Cheers Mango 👍
living in london i would prefer to live in thailand for sure . in pattaya for sure
For sure. I would much prefer living here.
oh yes . been going pattaaya for 20 years now . love it mate . live in london no fun here .
You right , the heat grow on you 😅 43 °c kanchanaburi today, but i kind of got use to it now, I think i would be a good slave 😂 chiang mai is on my bucket list now , good one again 👏👏
Kanchanaburi is one of the hottest places I’ve been in Thailand. Roasting. Yep. You get use to it mate, second nature now.
I've lived in Chiang Mai for 13 years. Yeah, it's always hot during the hot season ... But it IS worse this year, getting me down.
I wouldn’t have known any difference but it’s definitely hot.
Enjoyed that. Maria and Col from Pattaya
Thanks guys, hope all is well in Pattaya 👍
i cant wait to get back there luv it
Hope to can get back soon 👍
I love the heat it’s the cold and rain I hate back in Bangkok end of month can’t wait
Nice one Dave, you’ll soon be living the good life again 👍
Wayne it’s 46 to £ right now today I remember years ago 80 then 73 but 46 is good I hope it goes up to 50 to the £ happy days man
Happy Days with 46 at the minute, I’m happy with that .
In Darwin we got the same heat . Must escape to the aircon ! Free aircon at shopping centres and libraries and public buildings.A coastal location near the sea is more comfortable.it’s not easy when you get older causing Heat fatigue . Needs lots of water and rest.
Hope it cools down a bit for you in Darwin. Yes, the malls are a great escape from the heat.
Couldn't agree more. Reminds me of when I came back from Australia. The cold and rain was lovely for a day or two. Take it easy Wayne👍
Yes, one or two days would be enough for me mate. Cheers
I just came back from my 4 week holiday in Thailand, back to 6 - 12 °C in Ireland. It is freezing cold here. Even when I sweat in the heat during the day during work on the farm in Thailand, I still prefer it to Ireland. We did cook ourselves soups from bones with lots of vegetables + some water during the day was sufficient. The soups provided the minerals needed. It is easier for me to adapt to the heat than live here in the constant cold. Where I did grew up we had cold winters with -10°C and hot summers +25°C. I completely miss this is in Ireland, and thus I also understand you that you miss seasons as well. When you did grew up with them, they are spice of the year.
That sounds to cold for me brrrrr. I do miss the seasons though, yes. I would like some cold days every now and then but as you mentioned, I would much prefer hot weather over cold. Thanks
Yes Wayne, the heat smoke combination would be something I would struggle with and I have a reasonably good bill of health. I'd struggle to live there this time of the year and would likely travel elsewhere for a while. Nice video mate. Cheers. 🤩
It can be a challenge this time of year mate. It’s definitely not a time for everyone. Nice one mate.
Good on ya mate.
Cheers John 👍
Nice one Wayne - it’s 15c in Melbourne - I don’t like it , Hot days is no problem , as you say , most time spent inside out of the heat - happy days my friend 👍👋😎🙏
Nice one Ant, I could do with one day of 15c but that would be enough I think 👍
It is only really hot in April and May. Don’t walk in the sun midday and if you have to go for a short walk, an umbrella and a big bottle of cold water will help. Never get dehydrated is the key. You will survive.
It’s no problem , even walking in midday , that’s my favourite time to walk 👍
Hotter the better, 45 degrees in my Isaan village, lovely jubbly. It does get down to 28/29 in the day and 15/16 at night at its coolest which makes a nice change for a couple of weeks
45 might be getting to the limit for me. It was super hot in Udon when I left
a village in thailand plus that heat, omg the ugly lanquage that sounds like nasally congested birds chirping, the pollution, the locals all of whom are dirt poor, sounds like utter hell on earth, u can have it, enjoy your inlaws and enjoy your visits routinely into town and those certain places that have ladies.
I normally live in Chiang Rai but now staying at Rayong beach for a few months to escape the air pollution, side effect is a nice sea breeze
Nice one Paul, I really liked Rayong. Good place 👍
Fishing @ fishing bowl in bkk. Lucky numbers there. Heat is too much this time a year for me. Take care mate!
Nice one buddy!
I see you were very close to House of Paella resturant, would love to try that place out, something different in thailand, keep em coming:-)
Hope you get to try it one day 👍. Cheers
It’s hot as balls out there right now.
It sure is mate.
Only 1 thing worse than the heat, heat & flies. Thanks for the walk & talk in the heat. 43° Issan last year, too hot for an old fella😡
Yes the heat brings more bugs and Geckos 🦎. Cheers buddy.
Sausage, Bacon & Beer. Coffee. It's still on google street view July 2022. The whole street has changed quite a bit since then. One thing I've learned in my time here is that things change regularly and quickly. They work fast, even in this heat.
That’s the one buddy, it wasn’t open long . It looks better now I think. Yes a lot of things changed in that area.
High of 12c here today. Nice to have some warmer temperatures again 😅
Send some over , just for one day mate .
Been to Thailand 30 times since 2005. Always November for two weeks and January for two weeks. Incredible weather.
November ? what about the incredible rain and flooding ?
November great time to be here. November and December the best .
The heat did pee me off a bit for the first time a few weeks ago. I drove past you today when you was talking to that lady in the shelter. i was enjoying the A/C in the car lol.
Nice one mate, yes I was sitting down chatting. It was another hot day for sure buddy.
I've just got back been multiple times never felt it so hot, literally had to stay in hotel till it cooled down later.
I hope you had a good time though 👍
I didnt think it was any different but I have noticed im using aircon earlier in the day than I normally would...so yes I guess its a little hotter than usual, dont ride the bike at the moment feels like I just got out of a microwave when I get off...sticking to the car for the time being...
I don’t think it’s much different but like you said, I guess it’s a little more constant this year.
Great one today Wayne! Like you I'm originally from a very mild climate, the Pacific Northwest of the US. 70° F ( 21°C) is perfect to me. Not a fan of hot weather, and I'm Irish and English heritage so I have two levels of tan, pink and red😂 But, I love Thailand enough that I will deal with it. It doesn't usually bother me to much when I'm there except the sweating, but I haven't been in April.
Nice one Shain. I'm the same mate, I only go bright pink then white again. You do get use to it though. The humid rainy season is more of a problem for me.
32c here in Corpus Christi, Texas and this is only the start. Still have June, July, August, and September before we get any kind of break at all. Wish I could afford to live in Colorado in the summer. Oh well, just hope and pray air
con keeps working. Had it go ou five years ago and cost 8,000.00 us to replace.
I was chatting with a guy from Dallas, he was saying how Texas gets crazy hot. Hope the Aircon keeps working for you buddy.
Hi Wayne! I would definitely take the hot over the cold. Living in Thailand, I am used to it, but yeah, the cooler months here are much better and easier to handle. Just some advice that you might want to get your air conditioner professionally cleaned approximately every six months. If not, it will certainly be far less effective, significantly more expensive to operate, and cause headaches and allergy-type symptoms because of the dust. Stay cool, and keep up the good work! Cheers, mate!
For sure mate, I would choose hot any day. I would like a couple days of cold , but that would be all. Thanks mate .
Totally agree with A/C it drys me out too much, if the cold gets into my chest i'm a goner ie a dry cough. Humidity is the Energy Succubus, just drains the Life out of Moi.
Yes mate, aircon is only good in short spurts I think. Humid is the one I don't like either buddy.
G'day Wayno, go up to Dalat in Vietnam for a couple of weeks mate. It's probably my favourite part of Vietnam, and nice and cool. 18 degrees atm, 31 by lunchtime 👍🙏
Dalat is a place I want to go soon. Looks a chilled city . 👍
Ahh 40c plus in anyone's language is hot.
We have just gone through a very hot an dry summer in Western Australia with temperature well in the 40s.
It's all good as long as you have some aircon in your room so you can get a decent sleep, that's the important thing.
Working as a welder most of my life I'm used to extremes of temperature, working in Australia's north west where temps can exceed 50c then you really know what hot is.
Yeah it's hot for a few months in Thailand but not any different than what it normally is at that time of year.
Maybe folk are just getting soft. Who knows
I hope Australia has cooled down a bit . Yes, anything above 40c is too hot.
Love me some Changklan road!
Top road 👍
Check out Da Lat in Vietnam. I was there the last 2 months. Daytime 30 degrees evening 19 degrees. Perfect
Yes Da Lat looks a great place, still gets hot but a nice hot. Baguio in The Philippines gets some cooler weather too. Cheers 👍
hey Wayne, I thought I missed the sorta cooler fresher months back here in England.... I was wrong, and its not been a harsh winter... its grey and miserable, and shame to say, the people are too =( Hope to be back soon with the parents in tow =)
I would be ready for the heat again after 2 days of cold mate. I can imagine what it’s like back home these days. I don’t miss it. Good to hear you’ll be back in Thailand soon 👍
I usually go back to the UK every December for a couple of family birthdays and Xmas and it’s a real shock to the system…. Left Chiang Mai in the mid 30°s and arrived at Gatwick to -3°🥶It was freezing cold and rained solidly for the entire month😂
It will be horrible dealing with cold again. I would like to feel it again but just for a couple days .
I was just in Chiang Mai and Bangkok and personally, I found the heat in Bangkok significantly worse than Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai was super hot in the middle of the day, but the mornings and evenings were relatively pleasant for much longer than Bangkok. Also, it wasn't nearly as muggy as Bangkok with Bangkok having a dew point around 25-27C and Chiang Mai's being around 20C.
Yes, not so hot early mornings in Chiang Mai. Kanchanaburi was even hotter than Bangkok when I was there a few weeks ago. Bangkok was humid though.
@@WalkAboutWayne Apparently Kachanaburi is the hottest province in Thailand, so it doesn't surprise me.
I was there for the entire month of March and it was hot then, too, but nothing like this. This is the kind of temperature that takes some time to acclimate and get used to, you don't get off the plane from England or the U.S. and walk around in that blast furnace and not be soaked thru.
Yes Dan, I would think this would be a struggle for anyone arriving for the first time. It does take some getting use too.
I'm originally from East Texas and when I was in the military. I spent time in the medit's raining and in northern Africa. I think I could adjust to the heat within a reasonable amount of time.
Nice. Yes; the body definitely adjust to heat .
I love the heat. Sweating really doesn't bother me so much. The secret is quick dry clothing and lots of water. I have stocked up on quick dry shirts and cargo pants. Good to go, man!
I bought some Arctic Cool t-shirts after I got home from there and found out how easily I can soak thru the ones I had.
Yes, I have to wear quick dry most of the time. I get the cotton out later in the year. Cotton still the best for comfort, but no way I can wear it in the summer.
Judge Jules on Radio 1, Saturday Nights… Those were the days.
Nice! Good ol days 👍
Does get a bit uncomfortable when it's over body temperature but still better than the UK.
Hate Aircon though, only ever use it if I'm in Bangkok during hot season.
Yes, I can’t get along with Aircon. It’s great and I need it, but I don’t like it on for long.
Found Bangkok to be the hottest...ovenblast heat during day.
Yes, Bangkok is super humid
If you want some cold weather, ride your motorbike up to Doi Inthanon.
Been there and done that buddy.
I don't think there's anything that can prepare you for the heat and humidity that slaps you in the face when you walk out of Swampy for the first time! It does take time to acclimatise to the heat and humidity but, for me, the worst thing was going back to UK in December after a year inn Thailand.....absolutely bleddy freezing, the first thing I did was buy a big coat and I didn't take it off for the first 3 months, in or out!!🤣
Yes Tanya. Going back to the UK would be absolute freezing for me now.
I'm gagging for a bit of sun on my back and head ,.. it's been a long autumn,.. winter,.. spring hasn't got going here yet,...10c and rain again here,....
We got to around 30c last year and I loved it so hopefully get some this year,..
Sounds if you were in the rave seen early ninetys ???.... did you go to fantazias,.. obsessions,.. universes ,...
Plymouth warehouse,... club kaos Barnstaple,..verbeer manor willand,..etc..??
🙂🕺
10c !! I would be absolutely freezing mate. Hope you get a bit of summer this year. Yes mate! I use to go all them places raving. I was a regular at Kaos and The Warehouse. Verbeer Manor too. Obsession was my favourite raves down Plymouth. Fantazia was special raves also. Cheers buddy
Haha,...wow,.. cool,... definitely a lot in common,....😁
Could you do a vid for proper newbies one day,..do's - don'ts ,.. for relaxed/ chilled trip not too much sin city to start with please haha,..🙂
Yes, most of us could handle that heat. Do I want to? Hell, no!! Best of luck, mate.
Nice one Brian. I would like a little cooler but I’d rather have hot than cold.
Lampang 43/44 praying for rain probably last week of May😮
Let’s hope for some rain soon mate. Stay cool buddy
Coming from Australia, lm 71 , easyyyyyyy!!!!!!😊
Super easy for Australians 👍
A goldfish bowl.. Yes SK is the best but its always busy in there. OMG over the road does some real nice food, bangers and mash.
Yep, it’s a busy one and the most popular. Mmmm bangers and Mash
You have surely adjusted to the Thai climate if you think 15˚C is cold.
I was freezing at 15c 😂
The clothing thing is an issue :) i have lived my whole life in a cold climate and the clothing i use and wear is me , its hard to suddenly change that and not wear my winter puffer jackets and hoodies etc.
Yes, I can relate to that. I like to wear what I like even if if it’s not the most practical here in Thailand.
Better to wear light long sleeves if you don’t use an umbrella.
I just can't take that heat with the humidity. Where I live in California, it's 40-43C for usually 3-4 months a year, which can be tough to take with my light skin and blue eyes. But at least we don't have the humidity that Thailand has! No, I won't be going there during that heat.
Yes, the humidity is the biggest challenge. It would be fine without the humid weather.
Wayne your body has climatized now if you came back to the uk your catch a cold 🥶 mate
Yes, I’ll be freezing back home.
My mrs said it was 44 degrees last week...omg
Yes mate, getting hot hot hot
The temperatures given, i think, are in the shade. Out in the open ya gotta stick another 5° on I reckon.
I don’t know about that. I would say it’s around 40 to 42c
Pai is brutally hot too! Just enjoying some TH-cam in the aircon. Cheers
Nice one Kreg. Yes mate, it’s hot hot hot.
Jesus man its hit well over 40 up here in Udon every day the past month. I literally can't keep myself hydrated. My AC is fighting a loosing battle. 44 today, that's desert heat and zero shade up here. there's a huge difference between low 30's and 40's, for me at least.
Same here buddy, over the 40s most days. For sure, 30 would feel mild right about now. 🤣. Keep nice and cool mate.
Are you in udon thani I arrive there in 8 days not going to be pleasent
Would rather be hot in Thailand...that freezing cold and wet in the UK !
Hope alls well mate 👍
100%!!
Is doi inthanon close, that is supposed to be cool weather
About an hour. Yep, cooler at the top of Doi Inthanon.
I can't survive in Singapore's climate it's too humid 😂
I’m sure you could get use to it 👍
Just noticed in the reflection on the restaurant window that you don't wear shorts 🥵🥵🥵. I always wore long trousers in the night because of the mozzies but shorts always during the day . P.S It's 11 degrees Celsius and raining here in South Wales today and you're welcome to it 😢
I never wear shorts much these days. I dress more like a Thai nowadays. The first 2 years I always did, now hardly ever. Especially riding the bike aswell. I hate wearing shoes though.
Send me that cold weather for just one day. I'll pay 🤣
The rains will come soon. Usually at the end of May, right? That knocks the heat off and kicks away the smoke.
50\50 the rain brings humidity. It will get rid of the smoke though
Will you stay there during the wet season?
Sure, that’s one of my favourite times here .
When you're old and arthritic, the UK is absolute torture for six months of the year.🧐😎🥶
Just 6 months🤣 I remember it was longer than that for me haha
how do you deal with the heat at night, is it hard to sleep in??
I prepare the fan on my legs and have the fan on full. In the early days it was tough in April. I’ve learnt how to prepare for sleep these days.
Great Vid thankyou
Secret of Life is dont watch the News
Avoid the propaganda
Very true. Thanks
is Graffiti an issue?
In Chiang Mai?
@@WalkAboutWayne yes. i dont see much on your walkabouts
sky is grey mate always some smokes or what ?
Burning season buddy
I prefer heat. Freezing temperature depresses me.
I want one day of freezing, then back to heat 🤣
Afternoons like this are best spent at the pool or at a coffee shop with a cold drink.
Yes, true 👍
25c for 11 months and snow for 1 month perfect cheers 🍻
25 to 30c most of the year would be great.
why dont you go back north part if the year
Some say it is a little cooler in the south.
I’m a North guy, this I where I want to be most of the time
a little tan won't hurt
Happy Days
I can't wear tshirts in when hot. Button shirts let some air in
And need shorts. Maybe a dress?
Birthday suit
40c is hot use to it or not 🥵
Yes mate, 40 is just hot no matter what.
Don't forget your electrolytes Wayno, you can drink 10 litres of water a day but it won't hydrate you at all without electrolytes 😓
I’m sure water hydrates fine buddy. It does the job for me mate 👍👍
Hello
Hello 👋
That will make the sweat run down the crack of your A// hahahahahah
It sure will mate. Sweaty ball bag too
@@WalkAboutWayne LOL..
even in 40'c you wear long pants? wear shorts at all? You've acclimated to Thai heat no problem.
Most of the time long these days. Shorts every now and then. Yes, I wouldn’t say I’m ever overly hot.
HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!! Only Europeans tolerate extreme heat and humidity because the weather in most European countries is miserable we in the USA and Australia have many options !!!!
That’s true 👍
Choosing a woman behind glass is the same as choosing seafood 🦞 behind glass.Just cost more.😂
Haha 🤣🤣
🤣
Wicked & true comment.....😂❤
WHOTE YEERE YEE BORNE BOYE 🤔
Bobby Dazzler
@@WalkAboutWayne All the best pal. And yes it's getting hotter 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
You showed Khao Soi Islam! Aroi maak!!!
Nice 👌
WAYNE YEE SOUND LIKE A CHEAP PIRATE. GET A BIRD OR WHAT EVERRRRR AND SETTTLING DOOON BOI. 🐦🤔👀
Ged on withy boyo 👍
is going up into the mountains an option? Should be cooler up there?
Early mornings and night. Still roasting during the days
