Coming from another land of endless summer, I remember vividly experiencing the seasons for the first time. I knew intellectually there were four distinct seasons, but when the body only knows two seasons - "green and wet" and "green and less wet" - feeling the four seasons for the first time was an experience. Moreso when my first taste was the depths of the English winter and one of the coldest in decades at that!
Sorry to hear your stay in Bangkok started off so shakily. I'd suggest checking the humidity in the apartment and consider investing in a dehumidifier. The unrelenting damp of Bangkok (and my homeland) and the artificial coolness of air conditioning can be hard on the lungs, even those acclimatised to this weather.

Thank you. It was probably because my body needed adjusting to a new climate. It is odd to be in a place where the seasons don't change much.
