There are three official seasons in Thailand, the Hot Season, the Rainy Season and the Cold Season. All three of them have one thing in common – it’s always hot!! However, as Pattaya is on the coast, the gentle sea breeze makes the heat and humidity far less noticeable. Also, your Villa was built specifically for the tropical climate with marble floors, air conditioning and tinted windows so even during the hottest periods of the year, you’ll be comfortable indoors.
By far the hottest time of year is April and May when even the locals will complain about the heat – and the air conditioning in your Villa will definitely be most welcome. June until October is classed as the Rainy Season, although this doesn’t mean it will rain that much apart from maybe in September. November to February are somewhat amusingly called the Cold Season when, in some parts of Thailand, temperatures can drop to14 degrees C overnight (from a daytime high of the upper twenties to low thirties).
During the Hot Season there i’s very little rain and temperatures can climb to over 36 degrees centigrade. Inland this can be a serious problem if you’re not used to the heat, but on the coast and in a resort where almost everywhere indoors is air-conditioned and outside bars and restaurants have fans all around, the weather is fine for most people. Temperature slowly drop by a degree or so each month from their highs of the Hot Season as you move through the Rainy Season and then into the Cold Season, but don’t be put off by the label ‘Rainy Season’. In general, the days are sun-filled, with the odd torrential downpour that might last 30 minutes or so. You would be extremely unlucky to have your holiday ruined by rain whilst in Thailand.
The Cold Season is by far the most popular time to go to Thailand (and accommodation and flight prices reflect this). During the day temperatures don’t often drop much below 28 degrees (although there can be ‘cold’ spells where they plummet down to around 25). The evenings and night-times cool down nicely, reminiscent of a warm summer’s evening in Europe. Whilst you’ll often see the locals wearing a jacket at night during the Cold Season – it’s extremely unlikely you’ll ever need one yourself!
