Thailand's Weather

Thailand has great fishing weather all year round

Thailand's weather is driven by monsoons that sweep across the country mostly during what we would consider the UK's summer months, meaning much of the best weather in Thailand, is during our winter, making Thailand a great winter escape! The monsoons create  three seasons in the north and central areas and two in the south. In addition to the monsoons, Thailand's geography means that the climate is very diverse, but on the whole it is suited to life outdoors, even in rainy season months,  in many parts of the country making the fishing all the more pleasurable.

Differences in temperature and rainfall occur during both seasons on the east and west coasts.

Rainy Season - torrential rain tends to fall in short bursts, usually lasting only a couple of hours each day. Most rain falls between June and November.

Hot and Dry Season - is relatively rain-free between January and April.Flooding on the west coast is commonplace. Travel elsewhere during the rainy season is not necessarily problematic unless visiting areas where roads are unpaved, as rain renders these tracks impassable.Carry a lightweight jumper as it can be chillingly cold inside air-conditioned buildings.
