Here in Thailand, it is now the rainy season, as those of you who've been here in the European summer will know. However, unlike places like Japan, the rainy season here isn't continually wet or even cloudy. A typical rainy season day starts with a hot & sunny morning. Usually, some time in the early or mid-afternoon, the clouds move in & then the rain comes a bit later, maybe around 15 or 16.00. Then it usually rains very heavily, maybe even torrentially, for a short time, usually less than a couple of hours. Then, we have a nice, cooler evening. It may get a little humid as the rain evaporates but not too bad. So for those tourists who are wise enough to take a chance, a 'summer' holiday in Hua Hin can be cheaper (low season rates), less crowded (tourists who just see the words 'rainy season' & look no further) & not too wet. Nonetheless, if you do venture over here during this time of year (which lasts till late October), take my advice & get up early, go out early, do your beach or sightseeing thing before lunch -- then take it easy when the clouds move in. Don't let the phrase 'rainy season' fool you, folks. The sun is never far away in a place like this!
