Summer Season
|
Summers begin in March and last until May. During this season, the
weather remains hot and humid at varying degrees. At times, the
temperature soars to a stifling 400 C (105 F). Besides, rainfall is
scanty. The assaulting weather, coupled with urban congestion, may
be a bit uncomfortable for some. In case you plan a visit to Bangkok
during summers, arm yourself with lots of fluids, electrolyte
solutions, hats, light cotton clothing & good sunscreens.
Nevertheless, the good part is that people who are ready to conquer
the severity of summers can grab many off-season discounts on travel
and hotel expenses.

Monsoon season |
Bangkok experiences the rainy season from May until November. During
this period, frequent spells of rainfall occur, leading to flooded
streets and regions located near Chao Phraya River. These heavy
downpours are unpredictable and occur at any point of the day, but
normally do not last for more than an hour. The wettest months are
July and September and rainfall lasts for hours during these months.
Even with its setbacks, monsoon in Bangkok is a favorite with locals
and tourists, as it is a welcoming respite from tormenting summers.
The weather remains warm, with temperature hovering around 300 C (85
F). Carry rainproof clothing and flip-flops along, if you visit
Bangkok during this season.

Winter Season |
In Bangkok, winters arrive in the month of December and last until
February. The average temperature remains around 260 C (80 F) and
weather remains mildly cool and dry. It is cooler during nights, but
days remain pleasantly warm. The sky remains clear, the wind breezy
and the humidity is low. Thus, owing to the bracing climate, this
season is the most inviting and Bangkok sees heavy tourist traffic
during these winter months. The climate remains perfect for lazing
around in the numerous outdoor beer bars and tourist hangouts of the
place. Light woolens are all that you require if you are
Bangkok-bound during winters.
