Hi all, are there any higher altitude towns/areas in Thailand where you don’t have to use AC or fan at night? (I’m thinking somewhere around 500m, where the humidity is knocked back and the temps are cooler.)
I’m not really well-travelled in Thailand - the only cooler place I’ve been to was in the mountains outside Chiang Rai, but I’m wondering if there are more (maybe around Pai??) Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion explores various towns and areas in Thailand where night temperatures may be cool enough to avoid the use of air conditioning or fans. Participants mention several locations including Chiang Mai, Pai, Doi Inthanon, and Mae Hong Son, highlighting that while some areas can be cooler, especially in winter, finding a place that consistently meets these criteria year-round can be challenging. Recommendations include considering higher altitudes (around 500 meters or more) and regions like Khao Kho in Petchabun and others. However, most agree that humidity and temperature vary greatly, and cooling needs may depend on the season.
