Thailand weather - when are good times to go?
Hello -
I am in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Thailand and would like to go at a time when it is not going to be raining every day. I would expect to be in Bangkok and surrounding Gulf of Thailand beach areas. A Thai friend suggested I go during October-December, and that before then it would be monsoon season. The guidebooks talk a lot about the monsoons as well. When in general are good times to go to Thailand (Bangkok) in terms of temperature and rainfall? I'd rather avoid intense heat/humidity and constant rainfall. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm trying to get a general feel for the weather there. Thanks much. Bill Moore |

Most tourists come during November-February for obvious reasons. But it can be also pleasant, if humid, during July/August. Thanks for the response. Is it exceptionally rainy during July/August? If so, what kind of rain is it? For example, Hawaii sometimes has rains that are sporadic during the day and are more like misting. Quite pleasant. Is the Thai July/August weather typically downpouring rain all day, or....? Thanks. |

Thanks for the response, Brian. I am also from California but I am quite familiar with humidity from back East. How is the insect situation compared to California? Much worse, I'm guessing. Sounds like the cool season is the right time for me to go. |

We visited them in March this year and it was already getting pretty humid. Jan |

I was bothered more by the giant spider I found about 6 inches from my head while attempting to sleep at a quest house.I hate spiders! |
