m155g0ld Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Dear All, Please can you let me know what the weather is like and what it's likely to do over the next few days where you are? I live in Bangkok and have some friends over from the UK who are currently getting soaked in Koh Phangan / Koh Tao . They want to head somewhere with better weather... some local advice would be very handy indeed! They'd be happy to head to Krabi or islands nearby if the weather's better there or up to Koh Samet or Koh Chang. They're very flexible but all the weather sites seem to have very contradictory info so if any of you guys actually lucky enough to be living in such lovely places could give them first hand weather reports that would be fab. Many thanks in advance, L x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric1949 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Faulconbridge, Lower Blue Mountains, Australia. Home to the World's Most Equitable Climate.San Diego is too far. Khao Lak is doing well, though! I hear on other threads that central Issan has had no rain since October, but would you want to send someone there for a holiday? Khon Kaen and Udon Thani are ok as far as cities go, but Nakhon Ratchasima ( Korat) is by far cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m155g0ld Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Guys, thanks for the suggestions thus far... I think they are wanting somewhere with a beach - krabi, samet, koh chang, koh lanta, phi phi, etc etc... anyone live locally in any of these places who could help with some up to date weather reports?

Beardog Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Pattaya is rockin right now. It rained one day this week 2 days ago whether says today (probably tomorrow) Thunderstorms. Koh Lahn 20 minute ferry ride from Patts no rain.(day trip) Koh Samet probably similar to Pattaya as Rayong is having similar wether paterns as Pattaya & Koh Samet is only a 1/2 hr. away. Koh chang not sure dried up waterfalls Feb.16th last year, This year about the same or less than last year. So according to world weather which is usually wrong this week is sketchy. Where they are at it is almost assured they will have weather, Glad they were not here 3 months ago. Quack Beardog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfish Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Check out the thai meteorological department, you can go back over the last few days and see how much rainfall every area has had. Samui has had rather a lot http://www.tmd.go.th/en/climate.php?FileID=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m155g0ld Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks everyone! The girls are heading up to Bangkok tomorrow and then taking the sleeper train to Chiang Mai where they plan to do a few days trekking etc... They hope to be able to head back down south and enjoy some sunshine on the beach in a week or so - might have cleared up by then Thanks again L x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
