In Thailand, a tropical country, summer lasts from March till June – that’s 4 months of fairly intense heat. How do Thai people cope with, and even enjoy, the heat during the summer time?
Here are my 5 secret ways to enjoying summer time.
1. When the heat becomes too much, pop into a local supermarket, shopping mall or convenience store where the air conditioning is always turned up high. ‘7-11’ stores can be found on every street corner so enjoy a little window shopping whilst soaking up the lovely cold air!
2. Enjoy shaved ice syrup with your favorite topping and flavors. Cool down while at the same time enjoying a tasty snack. These can be found on street stalls and at convenience stores everywhere.
3. Head to one of Thailand’s myriad beautiful beaches, where the sea breeze, cool water and bright sunny skies make the hot weather a treat not a tribulation.
4. Try a Thai homemade cold drink. Thailand has a range of homemade recipes in addition to the usual soft drinks that can be found around the world. Why not try a sorbet smoothie, Thai iced tea or lemon soda?
5. Last, but not least, this is my personal favorite secret to enjoying myself whilst under the summer heat – a cup full of refreshing coconut ice cream.
So don’t be put off by summer in Thailand – come and enjoy the heat!
