Bangkok residents woke up to something extraordinary this morning: chilly weather.
Okay, so today’s low temperature was still a rather comfortable 64 degrees Fahrenheit, or 18 degrees Celsius. And yes, temps are still climbing up to 80 degrees F (27 degrees C) during the day.
But still. But still.
This is tropical Thailand, don’t forget, where the average monthly temperature in Bangkok never dips below 77 degrees F (25 degrees C).
I love the Kingdom in November and December. For one thing, these “brisk” temperatures mean that you can actually walk down the street without breaking a sweat.
And there’s a sports-related bonus: ESPNSTAR has been carrying the World Series games live. That means that the sounds of baseball can be heard emanating from the TV in the mornings. (Here’s hoping that the Phillies can force games six and seven.)
Between the MLB action and the “chill” in the air, it almost feels like fall in the U.S.

You guys must be freezing! I can’t believe I visited just a little too early. I also can’t believe I didn’t cause a flood in Bangkok with my sweating.
You’d really love the weather, Wendy. It’s warmed up just slightly now, but the mornings and evenings have been delightful 🙂
