Tourists only go to the beach areas, north has mountains and can be quite cold
- berkes 3y agoI know (I have family there, and near the beaches). But "cold" is relative. I've had temps as low as 14℃ (57F) in Chiang Rai, Pai and near Udon Thani. And while that may be "freezing" to people used to tropical climates, that's shorts-and-terrace-outdoor-yay temps where I'm from (North Western Europe). I found it alienating to see people with woolen hats, mittens, thick jackets and scarves in Thailand, when for me the temps were T-Shirt and shorts grade. edit: Though, reversed, another alienating sight was a kiosk with Thai Takeaway on a parking lot in Åre ("north-Sweden, south-lapland) under 2m snow and ice with outside temps of -18℃.
