Whats Pattaya like Nov/Dec?

[mrblonde]

Ive been several times before, early March, June and September and all seemed pretty quiet (both 10 years ago and last September too), whats it like in Nov and 1st week of December?  Much different?  Am planning a trip back this year and want a few days partying, but wasnt sure if its busier/quieter/warmer or wetter?

Busier for sure, cooler and drier.

Drier?  In my experience it's been raining almost everyday now.

Normally drier and cooler, very pleasant. November is the start of high season so hotel prices are higher. Flights are more expensive too, especially so round Christmas and New Year but you will be back home by then.

November and December last year were quieter than normal following the passing of the King. Normal service to be resumed this year.

Nice time to visit, busier, cooler and drier than your other visits.

Used to be my favourite time for visits, live here now and enjoy that time of year.

Expect many hotels to be full and no discounts.

More traffic and more gridlock. Faster to walk.

Check your calendar, it isn't November nor December.

Perhaps this year being wetter than last is a precursor to November and December.

I actually think this year is more of a back too normal situation afer a few drier years. I had almost forgotten what it was like to get trapped in town by rain showers.... and getting home drenched. Raining now!

You're right the past few years have been drier than average. This year however we are above average, so far.

I think you will find it the same as most other times of the year....same dirty water in the bay, crazies in the streets, same run down worn out its welcome kind of feeling....?

It's the same, just it will be Nov/Dec.

 

Odd question.

Heaven in my opinion.  Rains are mostly done.  Some pretty good USA Thanksgiving dinners in may venues there.  I personally love Christmas there.  Very pleasant evenings. I don't do a big traditional Christian Holiday so I am quite content to be sitting out in an open air restaurant enjoying Christmas Eve Dinner buffet even at something like the Lek Hotel.  In the past they used to light the place up pretty well and the Gardens mall had big lights on it.  Has been more subdued lately.  Was always fun to see so many of the ladies wearing red. spirits were good.  I don't miss the hustle and bustle of USA christmas.

The temperature can sometimes get down to a "bone chilling" 25 degrees centigrade in November /December so remember to bring thermal underwear.
