Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

[Chomps]

Without looking back through 40 odd pages could any tell me how the weather normally is in October/November? Thanks

[Big Boy]

It can be quite rainy (although Hua Hin is normally restricted to showers). The weather is starting to cool to pleasant temperatures in the high 20s. There will be periods of sunshine. Just about everything I suppose except snow.

thanks for this weather report . pls tell me on which month i can visit Thailand according weather

[Pleng]

depends what weather you like??

You never really have to worry about it being too cold. If you're not bothered by a couple of hours rain on most days then you can come whenever you like. If you want to be sure the rain will keep away then November to Feb is generally the best. If you like the extreme heat then March-April.

I've heard that HH has the best weather in Thailand. Do you all agree or what do you think about that statement?

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this. Mods, please move / delete if necessary. I'm shamelessly trying to get my post count up so I can read a PM but also want to be on topic and, this is something I really wondered about when I heard it from more than 1 person.

I personally prefer the climate in the North (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai) and I am not alone.

^ Good point! You've got the elevation up there.

Comparing similar sea level locations though how does it stack up against the rest of the country? Cooler? For example, Ranong is supposed to be one of the wettest places in Thailand and it's been wet the few times I've been there.

What's September/October normally like guys? Bit of a change to my itinerary this year, I normally do June and July then December and January but had to miss June this year.

September/October is similar to June right? Boiling and a downpour in the afternoon?

I'll give my 2 satang Baa until the locals get here. The chance of rain is the highest of the year during those 2 months. Temps will be cooler than June IMO. Pete

Cheers Pete, nice that it's a bit cooler but from what I've read it's a bit drier our side, as you say, I'll see what the locals say, not that it makes any difference, I'll be there either way.
