Visiting Thailand in June/July
Posted in Thailand
I’ve heard a lot of conflicting opinions about going to Thailand and the surrounding areas during June/July.. a couple of people have said to me I’ll be sitting around doing a lot of reading because of the rain. Am I going to be really suffering or is it not really a problem?

I hope not - that’s when I’ll be there again! I’ve not heard anything that suggests it’s not worth going at that time.

I really don’t think it’s all that bad - and of course different areas of Thailand have different weather. Islands, for example, vary in rainy season depending on what body of water they’re in.
It’s really not that bad, but you will have to tolerate rain for an hour or so every day and on a few days it will rain all day. I don’t find that debilitating though. Just get an umbrella while you’re here and use it. Thailand’s at its greenest and most lush during this season, so it’s a great time to see the countryside and the rural areas.
