This must be something done by the Tourism Authority for propaganda reasons, as it surely has nothing to do with the weather. I have been all over the country for the last 5 weeks with visitors from the states in search of anywhere that was cold. Even Doi Inthanon was nothing but hot. Walked around at the top in shorts and a T-shirt for 3 hours.
