Thailand in October

[christianpfc]

October has religious holiday(s?) and several festivals all around the country for end of Buddhist Lent.

EDIT: I don't personally do this, but if it's raining, may want to wear shoes instead of sandals, especially if you're walking around markets where things like raw chicken and pork are being sold.

Au contraire! I wear flip-flops all the year, and in rainy season they are particularly useful because I can walk through flooded areas, and the water will just flow in and out. Once home, I rinse my legs and feet, and done! However, this can mean that I'm in ankle-deep water and can't see the ground because the water is so dirty, so it's not recommended if you have open sores on your feet.
