Travel Tips

the best way to describe the humidity in Thailand to a westerner is this ....... place a pot of water on the stove and turn the burner to high. when the water is at a rolling boil, place your face over the pot for about a minute. ive been to Thailand 7 times, and 5 of those times the heat was simply unbearable, and ive lived nearly 4 decades in Los Angeles .... where im consistantly exposed to temps of around or over 100. the two times it wasnt unbearable .... one time i was in Phuket, which was definately hot .... but NOTHING like the mainland. the other time it wasnt unbearable ...... and youre in luck my friend ...... was September. September is the coldest month in Thailand, well ..... about mid Sept to mid Oct. its still hot, but the humidity isnt NEARLY as bad, its a bearable heat ..... you might not even sweat. i walked outside of my hotel in Sept at about 2 am, and i was a bit chilly, this was wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt. normally you walk outside at 2am in shorts and a tank top and youre hot.

so youve picked the right time to go ..... September/October ..... that being said, im not a weatherman (not that theyre accurate anyway) .... im not saying this will be true for you, keeping in mind .... i am from LA, im used to the heat. but aside from my own experience, i know several Thais who swear up and down that its FREEZING in September and October. Freezing for them is 70.

hope that helps, and have fun .... the Thais are great people .... youll love them.

about 13% less humid than a completely humid place?
That is questionable for any Westerner.87% is very humid and you find it difficult to breath and move about without sweating and tire easily.
Very humid! It will feel worse then sitting in a sauna and it will be extremely hard to breath.
It's very humid. The higher the percentage, the more humid. 87% would be like playing basketball in Hell with no timekeeper and the coach won't ever take you out. And you have a parka on. Made of dead bunnies. With their heads still on. So now, you're burning up and you really stink. Plus you'll be in Thailand, so it applies. Seriously though, it's hot. And somewhat unbearable, but you'll be fine.
. too humid and if temperature are also high its pure torture. Fan does not cool and your dripping perspiration with the slightest effort. Only air conditioning which also dehumidifies makes life comfortable . Monsoons are in full progress at this time of year in Thailand.
wet thats what it is
