What's
the CHA AM weather like? hThis
is the question everyone asks! So to give you
a clearer picture, here are a few facts.
Petchburi has a tropical climate that is warm
the whole year round averaging temperatures of
around 29C . There are two distinct seasons with
a few minor variations in-between. Many people
visit in the high season (November to March) because
of pleasant temperatures, blue skies and low rainfall.
As a result the beach is quite busy and everything
is a little more expensive. Hotels and tours can
be quite crowded and the beach is not quite so
laid back. During April till mid-May, it begins
to heat up to around 34C and there are often heavy
showers for a few day in the late afternoons be
for the Thai New Year (Songkran Festival) occurs
on April 13th and everyone sprinkles (or throws)
cool water on each other. This quickly gives way
to cooler temperatures and rain showers from late
May until November (the monsoon season). |

Visiting
CHA AM in the monsoon season has lots of advantages.
Temperatures average a comfortable 29/30C and
light warm winds make sightseeing tours very
pleasant. During the monsoon season,it doesn't
rain every day!
The usual weather
pattern is for short dramatic showers, with
plenty of sunshine in between, providing an
opportunity to chat with the locals while you're
waiting for the rain to pass. June, July and
August are particularly pleasant. Activities
and trips remain totally unaffected. You can
still go swimming, fishing or boating and the
beach is less busy and more relaxed. There are
some great deals on hotel rates and much better
shopping bargains.
Finally, remember that this
is after all a tropical climate, so its never
cold and the sun is always....
