The wet season arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Definately not the time to go to Thailand during Oct and Nov with the current changes of climate that are confusing all the seasons for this year. I would postpone any trip to Thailand till December at least. At your own risk....

October has always been one of the two rainiest months.  No catastrophic change. November is a game of luck.

The total rainfall so far is below normal for most areas. But also not a terrible drought  like years before.

Not where I am.

The wet season Starts earlier in the North. In Udon Thani (NE), the wet season starts in May to June, at its peak July to September, and usually ends in October. So when you say it has just started, we say it is just ending!
