Three times a day The custom in Thailand is to shower at least three times a day - and possibly more if it is very warm or you have gone exercising! It is considered proper hygiene to wear a clean set of clothes after each shower, the last being your pajamas. Smelling nice is very important here! To get the water flowing, turn the red lever on the tap by the wall - standard temperature of the cold water about 20 degrees. Cold showers are welcome in warm afternoons. To get warm water, choose your temperature by turning the dial on the water heater mounted on the wall. Warm water is welcome in the mornings, especially after a rainy stormy night has cooled the air down. When we first arrived in Asia all we wanted was cold showers but now we often use at least lightly heated water. We must be acclimatizing!
