Chang Rai weather

[Kenny202]

Considering a move to Chiang Rai next year and notice it's always considerably cooler ( 3-5 degrees) than where I am in Isaan. Just wondering is the area generally humid? Probably is now with the rain. For eg Pattaya is a lot cooler than isaan, but the humidity offsets the cooler temperature

If weather is your main consideration then Chiang Rai wins by a good margin. There are many other advantages as well. It is quite simply a much more beautiful part of the country and there are fewer farangs.

Like everywhere, weather changes from day to day and there can be extreme days. Here is a visual example of the variation.

These are two shots taken a few months apart but at the same location. I put up with the first view so I can enjoy the last one.

Thanks mate. Not so much worried about the view as the heat haha. Be coming up there for a week or do from Khon Kaen next month or so for a look around. Looking forward to it :-)

Nice comparison photos of the good and the bad

I consider the next six months to be the best time of the year but I don't mind it a bit hot and wet.

I also live higher in the mountains than the city so it's cooler still, but especially at night.
