For budget travelers, a vacation in Thailand in August presents one of the last opportunities to explore the country affordably. Although there is still heavy rainfall, it's not consistent everywhere. Many prefer to choose tours to Thailand in August along the Siamese coast, where the tropical rains are beginning to subside, allowing for enjoyable time on sunny, free beaches. The island of Samui is a traditional favorite among tourists during this season.
However, the Andaman coast still experiences relatively harsh weather conditions in August. Strong winds create choppy seas, and heavy rains can hinder free movement in towns. Despite this, a summer vacation in Thailand is generally pleasant, with average air temperatures around +30-32°C and sea temperatures ranging from +26-28°C. Most of the rain tends to occur closer to nightfall.
