Should you travel to Thailand during the rainy (monsoon) season? What is the weather like and how much does it rain?
The 2023 rainy season in Thailand is coming up and you're wondering if this country is worth visiting during the off-season. Last year, I spent 6 weeks in Thailand during the rainy season and I learned a thing or two so today we're talking about the pros and cons of visiting Thailand during the summer months and what it's like to travel here during that time. Please note that I spent most of my time in Bangkok and Phuket but this advice will be useful regardless if you plan on traveling to Krabi, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Chiang Mai or any other of Thailand's major travel destinations.

A local here! One thing to mention for those who want to explore the beach down south, especially Andaman sea, during the rainy season is the strong current with the big wave. Regardless of whether rainy day, the current during mid May till October is strong with a big wave which may it unpleasant for swimming. Many marine national parks are closed during this season. If you think of white sand with clear water, obviously you should avoid this period of the year. Having been growing up in Phuket, I would say the best beach season which will not gonna make you feel regret is from Dec to April. Jan-March is my favorite as it is not super hot like in late March and April. Hope this help you guys with the planing ❤

The rainy season is actually not bad and the rain helps keep the temperature down. The hotel resorts in Bangkok and Pattaya were really cheap. Imo if you don't mind a bit of rain and would like to keep your budgets low, go during the rainy season.

@abc_0_10_11 Год назад

My favourite time in Thailand is during rainy season. Sure you could get unlucky with the weather if only on a two week holiday, but even then you could fly quickly from North to South and vice versa. Everything is green, much cheaper and far fewer tourists. It just sucks that at the same time my home country has short summer also.

@markolahteenmaki7116 Год назад

I have traveled in 33 years in Thailand, mostly during the rainy season because that's when we have the holiday season. Sometimes it has rained more almost every day for a month, sometimes only occasional 10-minute showers. There are big differences in the amount of rain by locality. When you travel during the rainy season, hotel rentals are significantly cheaper, and you can also rent motorcycles for less. There are no traffic jams anywhere, well in Bangkok of course. Visited a few times in December-January, I don't like it, too many tourists. So I still prefer the rainy season, we talk about low-season.

What I remember of southern Florida. I lived there 20 yrs and have been gone 20 yrs. It rained in the summer sometime between 12 noon and 3 PM (from what I remember). If you live in a polluted city the rain beats the pollution into the ground. I found that out when visiting Los Angeles. I'd say rainy season is a great time to be in Bangkok. Until they get a handle on the air pollution.

泰国旅游，尤其是跟团的，必须要注意：那是一个极坑的地方。别信什么佛教国家人心淳朴，那帮搞旅游的可以直接称为骗子。我去过泰国3次了，这次是刚从普吉岛回来，因为是团建所以是跟团的，被坑得不要不要的，比如榴莲干比网购贵了4倍（里面有大包干燥剂）；比如导游带去购物（宝石、珍珠、18k金项链，都是烂货，价格看似不高但是暴利），不买就pua，时间不到不开门；比如带你去寺庙看高僧，然后点拨你几句就让你买佛牌现场开光。我虽然只亏了几百块榴莲干的钱，但是回想起来就会感觉恶心。希望更多的人看到，别被坑，请广为告知。最后，我祝愿叫阿露的导游bdhs，两个儿子早日shengtian。

From experience I'd estimate that the wettest weeks are mid September to about 25th October and you can expect a few deluges, which will create flooding, particularly in the North down to Central Thailand. I'm not fully experienced with Phuket, Krabi etc, as I've only been there during Dec to Feb when the weather is pleasant (not to hot) and dry, at least very small chance of rain.
