djayz Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hi! I want to travel up to either Nong Khai or Chiang Mai this weekend but I've been told it's flooded. Is that right? What's the weather like in either of these provinces? I don't want to travel all that way and spend a weekend locked up my room. Thanks in advance.

Chivas Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 September and October you're liable to get rain in most areas of Thailand. Here in Buriram its been raining on and off for last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 September and October you're liable to get rain in most areas of Thailand. Here in Buriram its been raining on and off for last 3 weeks. No rain in Samui until November. We are happy if we get an half hour shower every three days.

mizzi39 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Same same in Surin. Off and on with some overflow here and there, but not enough to get you stranded. Typical for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Pretty hit and miss this time of year, the weather can alter dramatically just by travelling 1 kilometer. Boiling hot in one place, drive 1 kilometer and your in a thunderstorm and *issing down but nothing too bad to get you stranded.

KimoMax Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Nong Khai and Chiang Mai are not anywhere close to each other. In the far north like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, rain on and off again. No major floods. Monsoon season should be over this month. It has been cooler than normal. Hi's about 28-32 and Lows in the lower to mid 20's.

Every river is breaking its banks.Rain will not finish until ,at least Oct or Nov. This year ,it appears we have a La Nina event. It is possible that rain may be falling in Dec. Even Jan., in the North. We are having massive rains in Southern Isarn. We are not flooded, but our gardens are swimming pools. It is so wet. Even motor -bikes are getting bogged!!!!!

afarang Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am surprised no-one from the upper North -East has replied. I think Nong Khai is O.K.. I have seen no reports of serious flooding, But The whole North is in serious flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msg362 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Afarang, How is it i can ride a motorbike in and out of CM every day, not get wet and go shopping? Calm down, yes some rivers are full and some small ones are breaking their banks, but the Ping river is OK today. Stop scaring people it's OK here, you don't need a rubber boat i promise you!

Perhaps he's just envious. For we haven't had any such real high water [except in the north province near the Mun] in Surin for a couple years.

May I be be permitted to ask ,how many people have lost their lives ,in the North?Perhaps he's just envious.

It is flooding.I am not scaring people .Go check the Thai Meteorological website.Also check the Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai websites on Thai Visa.

Sateev Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 OK - Direct from Nong Khai: intermittent light to moderate rain, usually late evening, coolish days, no flooding since June. The past few days have been perfect: big white clouds in the afternoon, sunny, but not too hot. Come on up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
