Walking Down the Streets of Bangkok in the Rain
A Guide to Visiting Bangkok During the Rainy Season
Thailand’s illuminating capital, Bangkok is a bright and sunny sight to see. However, the city is also quite the spectacle with gloomy skies and pouring rain. Here’s what you need to know about travelling to Bangkok in the rainy season.
The Timings
If your heart yearns for a little drizzle during your stay at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, June is ideally the right month for a visit. While the rainy season in Thailand lasts from June to October, the sun will be out and bright enough to get some shopping done in the rain. While rainfall can last from several minutes to hours, the temperature does not change throughout the season. However, the downpour becomes heavier towards August and will last longer than a few hours.
Visiting Tourist Sites During Rainy Seasons
How does rainfall affect your site visits from a hotel in Riverside Bangkok? Visiting downtown Bangkok during the rainy season by no means will affect your sightseeing agenda as the rain usually begins to pour towards afternoon hours, leaving you with plenty of time in the morning to appreciate the culture and attractions of the city.
Why Visit the Country Under a Gloomy Sky
Tourist turnover during the rainy season is comparatively lower and therefore, most accommodation options will be available at affordable rates. While this is generally applicable to Thailand, especially the southern part of the country, Bangkok rates do not fluctuate as much and tend to remain the same during all seasons. However, choosing the rainy season for a visit will surely spare you from the trouble of peeking through large crowds of tourists on vacation.
Tips to Walk in the Rain
Be sure to carry an umbrella when you step out to go on a sightseeing adventure in Bangkok during the months from June to October as rainfall could last for a couple of hours or throughout the day. However, the rainy season is when tourists are well received by the locals and will be the ideal opportunity to gain an insight into the day-to-day lives of the city’s communities.
