That is a good on Jimbo. Wish it was the reason butit causes them a lot of headaches also.

I wish we did get off a few days but most we get off is usuall 12 hours and then we get to work 18 hour days to clean up. huricanes suck.

Thai_1_on and Bangkok Butcher,

Saam law (sarm lor?) racing? lol. Well, once upon a time...... :chat:

All it takes is a little bribe for the saam law driver (40 baht, maybe?) and he might allow you to take over his carriage for the big race. Have your buddies do the same and, "THEY'RE OFF !!" May the best (most sober?) man win. The saam laws are not as easy to handle as you might think, especially after 10 or 12 Singha leks. Later generations than mine have kept the tradition going as Papguido related to us in the other forum. Damage the saam law and it will cost you extra, right?

\:D/ Just a sanuk time, that's all. :lol:

If you are in & around Udon then it does get a bit chilly at night.
Certainly don't need air con on - but don't exactly need central heating either!!
Probably long trousers & long sleeve thick shirt (rather than light cotton type) when out and about at night. Do get the odd night when a jumper/thick sweat shirt is probably needed.
If you are going to somewhere like Chang Mai/Rai and are up in the hills at night then certainly can need a reasonable coat as well.
To me, personally, (but must remember I am from UK :D ) this is just the nicest time in Thailand weather wise. not too hot, not too wet, can certainly stroll farther & easier than most parts of the year - but it isn't cold in Udon as I would call cold :D :D

i wouldn't pack too many warm clothes. depending how long visit is. daytimes will be nice, nights maybe 20's but rarely below. on a motorbike or in tuk tuk at night, the wind will chill you a bit.

last couple xmas get togethers, i wore a blended wool suit, :-$ :-$ :-$ , same one, :-$ :-$ :-$ , don't tell anyone. maybe good for one more wearing. anyway, one year comfortable, last year or before, too hot, actually stopped at hotel for quick change before next venue. one year, same time, abouts, friend came to visit, and temp dipped a bit at night and we were tuk tuking the bars, quite chilly, so i simply bought a 200 baht jacket from night market, as we started there. actually turned out to be a decent jacket, lasting few years and a few wearings. will use a lot this year, my motorbike jacket, ruin that with the smell of fumes first, till the zippers start failing.

so pack light, nothing here you can't buy if you need, and then just leave it here for next trip.

enjoy. 8)

As LA suggested, pack light. If in need of emergency warm clothing, places like night market or Bo-Bay have tons of clothing at a fraction of the cost you would pay in your home country. I have friends who bring empty duffle bags to Thailand just to fill them up with clothing to take back home.

Like Bob Helm stated, I almost never find it too cold here in Udon. The only exceptions would be if you happened to get wet or were riding in a pickup bed or on a motorcycle at night. For me, the most pleasant time of the year is November thru February. Most ex-pats I know say the same.

I see the little weather box on the forum home page is indicating stormy weather for UTH with a temperature of -18 deg C. Wrap up warm, campers. :lol:

Sensible slacks - not tropical shorts for tonight, chaps.
