The rainy season in Thailand and things to prepare

The rainy season in Thailand is a period of increasing rainfall and humidity. First of all, the rainy season in Thailand is generally from May to October, but the exact time may vary depending on the cities. It usually starts with a light shower, then gradually gets stronger, peaks in August or September, and then tapers gradually into October. Korea also has Jangba season, but there are many people who travel to Thailand to do underwater activities, and many people go to see the beautiful sea, so it is good for these people to be fully aware of the weather conditions. Especially if the tour program I reserved is canceled due to the weather, it can ruin the trip.

Rainfall: Rainfall in Thailand is significant. During this period, the intensity and frequency of showers increase and heavy rains occur frequently. It's not uncommon for it to rain for hours every day. It's not good for travelers, but this rainfall helps replenish water sources such as rivers, reservoirs and agricultural land in Thailand.
Humidity: characterized by high humidity during the rainy season. The air gets hotter and heavier, making the weather feel hotter than it really is. Humidity levels are typically between 70% and 90%. It is important to stay hydrated and wear light and breathable clothes during this time.
Temperature: Despite the increased humidity, the rainy season cools down the heat of the previous dry season to some extent. The daily temperature range is approximately 25°C to 30°C.
Flood: Thailand's terrain and infrastructure are vulnerable to flooding during the rainy season. Inundation of roads is common, but it can sometimes lead to temporary flooding in low-lying areas. It is important to maintain information about weather conditions and to follow guidelines or warnings issued by local authorities.
Tropical Storm: Rainfall in Thailand is also associated with tropical storms and intermittent cyclones. These storms can bring strong winds, heavy rain, and rough waves, especially in coastal areas. This is the first reason why the sea tour program is canceled. It's because of safety. It is important to keep up-to-date with weather forecasts and pay attention to warnings from relevant authorities.
Transport and travel: the rainy season may affect transport and travel in Thailand. Floods or landslides can worsen road conditions, potentially causing delays or disruptions. It is recommended that you check the road conditions and prepare for possible travel changes. In addition, during bad weather, boat services to islands or coastal destinations may be disrupted.

<Preparations for the rainy season>
1. Raincoat: It is recommended to carry a light and waterproof raincoat or poncho to avoid getting wet in the event of sudden heavy rain. Activities are more convenient than umbrellas, especially when renting a motorcycle.
2. Umbrella: Foldable small umbrella to protect against showers. Different with and without. It is quite useful in situations where squally heavy rains are repeated for an hour or two.
3. Waterproof bag: It is best to have no luggage, but use a waterproof bag or pouch to keep important documents, especially electronics and other valuables from getting wet
4. Shoes: I'd like it to be waterproof, but it's comfortable to just wear slippers or Crocs.
5. Mosquito repellent: Yugi may increase mosquito populations. If you use mosquito repellent and are sensitive to heat, we recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants.
6. Indoor Activities: We recommend that you make a plan B for indoor activities such as visiting museums, temples or shopping malls in case your outdoor plans are affected by heavy rain.
Yuqi can bring some inconvenience, but its unique experience, such as lush green scenery and reduced crowds at tourist attractions, is rather an advantage. With proper preparation and flexibility, you can still have fun in Thailand this season. Enjoy your trip.
