October visit.

[Up2U]

Every month is a good month to visit Thailand.

(With the exception of April/Songkran, but that's a personal dislike, might not be applicable to you.)

Right on! Just like every month is a good month to visit San Francisco or Paris.

If you're here for the weather, October is a month you should avoid. We can have some really nasty thunderstorms with heavy rain in October.

But if you're here for the boys then any month is a good one.

Well it seeems that I cannot get to LOS for Songkran and must delay until October. I am wondering what the weather will be like at that time. Is it not still the rainy season or has that passed on by that time? ThaNKS for any thoughts. I will have to check the weather history.

I hope your handle "billy2bs" is not another version of "badboybilly".

That you can write 54 words or there abouts without a spelling mistake (except for "seeems") gives me some hope that the homo-australis-semi-sapiens is not back again to haunt us.

The only visit I ever made in October was on my first trip to Thailand in 1993. As we got off the large coach, dropping off passengers at various Pattaya hotels, there was 6"-9" of water in the forecourt of what was then the very newly opened Royal Garden Hotel (now the Marriott). I thought at that point that the holiday was going to be a disaster, but in fact it all drained away within an hour or so - and the Pattaya drainage system in 2014 is far better than it was then. So, in conclusion, I think rainfall is quite likely - but in concentrated bursts that will probably clear up within a short time.

Due to work commitments, I always visited Pattaya in October and November and could not complain too much about the weather. Many boys and few customers is a nice situation, especially in October when schools and universities have some holidays, increasing the stream of isan students coming to the beach to supplement their income.
