It's definitely hotter in Thailand when we were there. We were prepared with our sunscreen and umbrella. But it does not help much at all. Going to temples had us walking 15,000 steps or more. They're very strict there with the dress code.

I'm glad you had a great time despite the fact that walking in such hot weather literally burned your skin. I had assumed that Thailand's climate was milder than ours, but it appears that they also experience hotter days. What season are they in right now, I wonder?

It should be almost the as ours but I think they are much delayed with the rain. Though on our day there, it rained in the afternoon

It's usually hot in Thailand around this time, especially in Bangkok. I would love to visit the northern highlands of Thailand where it's supposedly cooler. There's a Buddhist monastery there that I'd like to stay in for a few days.

To be honest, I am glad they are strict with the dress code when visiting temples. Italy should do the same when tourists come to visit our Churches.

@rakski - It's such a lack of respect to visit a church wearing only a bathing suit and flip flops.

Yes, I think there should be strict rules especially visiting a temples and churches or other sacred places

I held my arm up to yours and you don't look like you have a good tan. I never go out in the sun and am darker than you. (It doesn't help that I'm running a blue-blocker on my laptop all the time now.) This week, it will reach 32C in my part of the US.

@rakski It looks like it on the computer screen. Pretty and I won't be going outside if we can help it.

That's a lot of steps. At least you'll be keeping fit.
