Thanks for the detailed information. actually I will be planning to travel to Thailand in mid of August covering Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya. How is the weather is it advisable to visit these places during that time
If you ask Thai people, they’ll say it depends on your luck! 😂Thai rainy season can be unpredictable, especially if it's not the peak of the season yet, which applies to August. Phuket, being an island, can experience quite unpredictable rain. Some people have visited in August last year and had no rain at all for seven days, only to have it pour on the last day! But anything is possible. For Bangkok and Pattaya, there's nothing to worry about-you can travel without concerns. I’m heading to Pattaya myself in mid-August, with everything booked! ❗But for Phuket, it’s wise to check storm conditions in advance. Refer to the official weather site www.tmd.go.th/warning-and-events/warning-storm and heed any warnings about ocean conditions. Even if it's no rain, during the monsoon season, waves can still be quite high. Make sure to consult with boat tour operators about safety before heading out to sea.
It will rain, but it never rains all day long in Thailand. So, I would say it won't impact your vacation much. You can buy an umbrella or rain jacket at any 7-11, which you can find every few blocks in Thailand, or just wait it out in a cafe until the rain stops and then continue exploring. However, if you go to the west/Andaman coast where Phuket and Krabi are, you should be extra careful before heading out into the sea for island-hopping tours. Make sure it's not during a storm and that it's safe to go (with no high waves). Ask the boat/tour company for advice and check the weather news yourself about any storms at the time.

Generally, it’s not the best time, but I'm also going to Phuket this October :) I've already booked and paid for my flight and hotel. From September to mid-October, it's monsoon season, which means high waves and dangerous conditions for island hopping. I'm planning to just lounge by the beach and explore Phuket town instead. Yes, it will rain, but in Thailand, it usually rains for 1-2 hours and then stops. I’m okay with that. You can expect overcast skies, so if you’re an Instagrammer, don’t expect clear blue skies (although it can happen, depending on your luck). October and November are good for traveling to Phuket because it's the shoulder season. It’s cheaper for accommodation and flights, and there are fewer tourists. However, it won’t be the blue skies and calm waves you would see from December onwards.
Enjoy! Just be mindful of when you want to do some island hopping, don’t risk it if the weather doesn’t look good. Or else you should be able to enjoy Phuket still.
