penbat Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Is it basically true that the weather in Thailand is hotter as you go south ? If I found the weather oppressive in Southern Thailand, would i find somewhere like Chiang Mai more pleasant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penbat Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Tell me then which areas of Thailand have the least oppresive temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totster Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Chiang Mai does get very cool in the dry season.. around November - March time totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Take Loei for instance. The temp can drop to below freezing in the winter but sometimes during the summer it is the hottest place in thailand. I would guess that the coolest place in summer would be to find some high altitude area with a breeze. Anyone agree ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone agree ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree but it seems like most people who don't tolerate heat well like the islands best since there is almost always a breeze and the surrounding water moderates the temperature somewhat.

RamdomChances Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I've always found that the further south you go the climate tends to stay more even, without such distinct seasons, so its pretty hot all year with at least some rain all seasons. Further north you get more destinct seasons, Hot is hotter (esp central plains/Issan) Cold is colder and Wet is wetter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terdsak_12 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Go live on Doi Intanon, always cool up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Go live on Doi Intanon, always cool up there. Only been there once and yes it was cold and misty. Reminded me of Wales except without women, err sorry sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiboxer Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I've been in the far South a few times and found the weather no hotter/more humid than BKK. The cool season is not as cool but the hot season seems to stay the same. What I found interesting is the lack of rain down there...normally it would rain more frequently than it does in BKK but it was dry most of the time.
