Weather conditions in Pattaya at different times of the year

• In the rainy season the prices for vacations in Pattaya are the cheapest.
• In the hot season the temperatures are very high and tourists spend half a day in rooms escaping the sun's rays.
• There are no storms and high waves at the resort.
• The rainfall here is fewer than in other southern cities such as Krabi, Phuket or Samui.
• For beach relaxation lovers it is not recommended to fly to Pattaya in September, partly in October and May.

Determine the time of travel to the resort is a personal matter for everyone. Some prefer the heat and sun, others the rain and humidity.

Weather at the Resort in Summer

Pattaya in June

July is the best month to vacation in Pattaya in terms of price/quality ratio for visiting and vacationing in Pattaya. There are several reasons for this. The resort looks most attractive at this time of year:

• Few tourists.

Since the flow of tourists is less, the streets and beaches of the resort are free of "crowds" and crowds of people. You can walk around town or choose any spot on the beach.

• Cheap accommodations.

At the beginning of the month hotels reduce the price of accommodation almost 2 times compared to the previous season. Accommodation with air conditioning will cost 500 THB, with a fan 400 THB per night.

• Comfortable weather.

The rainy season starts in June, but due to Pattaya's favorable geographical location, rainfall is 2-3 times a week. It often rains at night for 1-2 hours at a time. The tropical sun hides behind the clouds and is not so hot. Therefore, "catch" a sunstroke in this period is unrealistic. The best thing to do in this weather is to go sightseeing, walk around the city and lounge on the beach all day without getting sunburned.

• Affordable prices for travel and tickets.

In the off-season, the demand for them falls, as after the tourist high season often remain unrealized charters. So they are sold at cost price, and sometimes even lower. You can find round trip tickets for 300-400 USD.

• Cheap fruit.

Since summer is the time of fruits, the prices in the markets and their abundance is pleasing to the eye. Mango lovers can get high in June, when the fruit is the cheapest of the season.

So before you buy a tour, make sure you familiarize yourself with the weather conditions where you're going. And then, nothing will be able to prevent you from having the best vacation experience possible.
