Thailand, a tropical country with temperatures usually around 30°C or more. Of course you know this country if you have been there before. But it can also be different. It is currently the cool period and in the north it can get quite chilly.

On the Doi Inthanon mountain in the Chom Thong district of Chiang Mai province, a temperature of -21 ° C was measured last Saturday, December 1, the lowest temperature of the year.

More than 5000 people had gone to the top of the mountain to enjoy this nice temperature.

In the coming days, more than 10.000 tourists are expected at Doi Inthong, who want to experience this freezing weather in Thailand.

The managers of the national park warn everyone for the cold weather accompanied by a lot of wind and it is recommended to bring warm clothing.

    The Thais dream of seeing the snow one day. If they are in Europe in the winter, they die of the cold and homesickness and want to return home as soon as possible.

    Nice 12 degrees here (but still happy that I can go to Thailand again for a few weeks at the end of January)

    Just a little while and it will be a true winter sports resort 😛

    Incidentally, a small detail, Saturday was December 20th.

    I live not far from the Doi Ithanon plus minus 30 km.
    But it is also cold here in Pasang , by the way , it 's getting cold , let's say .
    However, this is the same every year around this time, I love it again real Dutch temperature with wonderful Thai solar heat and temperature during the day.
    Finally something other than that heat all year round .
    You can't dress on heat when it's cold.
    If you can't handle this, go to the South of Thailand and avoid Chiangmai and Chiangrai around this time of year.
    December , January and early February many dogs in my neighborhood even wear a vest .
    Nice and cool now.

    Jan Beute.

    And I thought it was already cold with 16 gr. from Chiang Mai by motorbike to Doi inthanon and the higher I got the colder it got. Was happy when I drove down again and it got warmer again. But I must have seen and felt it with only a singlet on.
