Joinaman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi there was looking for some ideas of places to go on holiday, that is not having rainy season needs to be reasonable prices for flights and things, not long haul, unless cheap and no visas needed for Thai lady was thinking of short break in somewhere like Hong Kong, then maybe a week somewhere like Phuket want a city break somewhere different and then alonger seaside break any ideas would be welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 What time of year? Hong Kong and Phuket hardly qualify as not having rainy seasons (or cheap for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 My experience of Phuket is that it rains every day, all year. Perhaps an indication of when the OP wants to travel would be helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themerg Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It's Rainy season in Thailand. I am not a mathematician , a Rhoades scholar, a MENSA member, or a genius. Rainy season means RAIN, and we are having a good rainy season. Look up your individual Thailand destinations you want to visit on WIKIPEDIA, go to CLIMATE. CLIMATE will tell you average number of rainy days for each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get much less rain here than most other parts of Thailand, and when it does rain it's usually late in the day and usually in the form of thunderstorms that only last an hour or so. It's rare for it rain all day here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 No long haul, visa free (or visa on arrival) for Thais, no rainy season? Not easy. All the neighbors in the northern hemisphere seem to have rainy season. Bali looks good from statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecoolfrog Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 End of September is a poor time to visit the Andaman coast , awful lot of rain generally , so Phuket/Krabi are out. I would suggest Ko Samui or Songkhla at that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLIMATE will tell you average number of rainy days for each month. Thailand has different rainy seasons. The Andaman sea has it right now because of the western monsoon, here on Samui we have it in November when the eastern monsoon kicks in. Average rainfall Phuket. Average rainfall Samui. To the OP, Samui is going to be sunny during your vacation. There are two daily direct flights from Hong Kong to Samui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every time I have been there it has always rained every day. My experience, as I mentioned. And the weather statistics (number of wet days and total amount of rain) back up my feeling that Pattaya is much drier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joinaman Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Thanks for the repliesSounds like Koh Samui is the best place in September that is close and maybe have very little rainQuick flights from Bangkok so nice, even if a bit expensive for a 1 hour flightMost other places seem to have the rainy season,So any other option would involve a much longer and much more expensive flights and hotelsMaybe I go to Koh Samui this time, and look for other places around Xmas or new year holidaysSent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
