Many of us have to take our main holidays in July, August or September. How many of you have been to Thailand during those months? What was your experience of the weather?
I have to been to Bangkok. Weather has been hot and humid with some rain. Rain can be heavy but does not last long. We were caught up in a typhoon where roads were flooded within an hour( and I mean knee high!) and then a couple of hours later it was as if it had never happened. I wouldn't go to Bangkok for pool time then though.
Been to Koh Samui in July and in August. It rained almost every day but almost always early evening when you aren't bothered anyway! In 3 times to KS then we have only had three afternoons where it rained for a prolonged time.
In the 3 weeks spent there we have probably had 2 quite bad days of rain and clouds then the odd shower or downpour here and there, not enough to spoil our hols and still mainly dry and sunny, going back to KS this year after Cambodia in July as I feel KS is a good bet at this time of year.
Also been to Mae Hong Sorn in August and I must admit it was quite wet and rainy most of the time (although usually sunny first thing in the morning) this did not ruin our sightseeing though and somehow added to the misty romance of the place.
Chiang Mai also visited in August - beautiful hot sunny days, although the week before had been severe flooding , so definately taking a gamble in northern Thailand.
Bangkok in august 3 times , very humid and cloudy but not too much rain , definately okay for sightseeing.
Also Hua Hin in August we were only there 3 days but it was lovely and hot and sunny , just one very sudden tropical storm which lasted about 40 mins then dried up.
We were put of going to Hua Hin in the summer as we happened to believe the stats given in a holiday brochure. ( So many sources give inaccurate info!) I am not particularly fond of Hua Hin but it does make a good relaxation stop at the end of a lot of tiring sightseeing! Anybody else been to HH in the summer?
