Yes tropicalian consider temperature below 25°C is cool.. Because they don't get to used to it with such low, even they wear a jacket in hills that have temperature between 17°C-25°C..most of jakartan wear jacket after rain while temperature is around 27°C...Except tropicalian live in higher elevation above 1000m

But I looked at the data from weatherspark and found that they're pretty much the same.

But Bangkok and neighbouring major cities (e.g. Phnom Penh) are the worst because of their "summer". Yeah, they have a noticeably warmer period. During March - May, highs above 35c (95f) are common. Sometimes, they reach 38-40c(100-104f). In fact a few weeks ago, Phnom Penh reached 41c (105f). It's not dry heat, either. This is a combination of temperatures usually associated with dry heat and the infamous humidity of southeast asia.

Makes sense. Bangkok has one of the worst climates in the world imho
