1. What is the weather like in August? 

August in Thailand brings the rainy season, especially in the northern and central regions, where heavy rains, high humidity, and the possibility of flooding are common.

However, the southern islands like Phuket and Koh Samui often enjoy more favorable weather. While wet weather is expected, it doesn't rain all day, every day - tropical showers are usually intense but often limited to the late afternoon or evening.

If you're traveling in August, be mindful of potential disruptions to outdoor activities and have a backup plan. Still, if you don't mind the occasional rain and prefer fewer crowds, you can find warm, rainy, yet enjoyable weather across much of Thailand.

  • Bangkok and Central Thailand

The average temperature in Bangkok is around 30°C in August, making the days warm despite the rain. Streets can flood after heavy rains. The surrounding areas also experience significant rainfall, mainly in the morning and late afternoon.

  • Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand

The north receives the most rain of the year in August, similar to September. Chiang Mai sees about 20 rainy days per month. It can even be more, especially closer to the mountains. It's better to say Chiang Mai has very few completely rain-free days in August. While heavy downpours are expected, the rain helps lower temperatures to about 26°C. The landscape becomes lush and green, attracting visitors. Chiang Rai has a similar climate.

  • Southern Thailand

Most southern islands experience a monsoon in August. Beach enthusiasts will find better conditions on the Gulf of Thailand coast. Places like Hua Hin, Ko Samui, Ko Pha Ngan, and Ko Tao enjoy many sunny hours and lower precipitation levels than the Andaman Coast.

The south of Thailand is indeed renowned for its magnificent islands and heavenly beaches.

The first half of August is particularly favorable for a beach stay on the Gulf Coast. Pattaya, Rayong, and Ko Samet are good options for beach vacations in August. Further east, Ko Chang is one of the wettest places in Thailand in August and is not ideal for visiting at this time.

Thailand's weather in August

1.2 Thailand's August 2024: Monsoon season in full swing!

August 2024 in Thailand is set to be a splash! It’s officially the monsoon’s favorite playground, so expect everything from drizzles to dramatic downpours. As the low-pressure party gets going, the Southwest Monsoon won’t be shy, and we might even have some tropical cyclone guests swinging by, especially up north and in the northeast.

The sky's mood? We’re talking 60 - 80% wet, with heavy showers making grand appearances.

Kampá Tour suggests staying plugged into reliable weather channels. Your trip can still be fantastic, just a bit damper than usual.

2. Is August a good time to go to Thailand?

August just precedes the peak of the rainy season in Thailand. Many travelers opt to avoid these rainy months, which leads to reduced demand for flights and accommodations. However, as previously mentioned, some regions experience less intense rainfall. Traveling during this time allows you to avoid crowds and busy tourist spots.

As a result, airlines and hotels tend to offer reduced rates and promotions to attract tourists during this period, making it a favorable opportunity for budget-conscious travelers. Additionally, you have the chance to participate in numerous festivities, large and small, throughout the country.

  • Is it worth going to Phuket and Koh Phi Phi in August?

Should I go to Phuket in August? The answer is yes. It is Thailand's largest island, which offers a vibrant escape even during August's monsoon season. While the weather might be a bit unpredictable, its lush rainforests, quieter beaches, and exciting array of activities remain enticing. Explore Phuket's cultural gems like the Big Buddha, discover the island's rich history in Phuket Old Town, and indulge in thrilling water sports when the sun breaks through.

Or you can still choose Koh Lipe as an alternative if you don't like the crowd. For more information, please read: Is Koh Lipe Right for You? 🏝️

  • Should I visit Bangkok in August?

While most travelers do not consider the rainy season ideal for visiting Bangkok, it is still possible to have an exceptional time exploring magnificent sites and having exciting experiences that will not be spoiled by rain.
In Bangkok, August precipitation is almost daily during the rainy season, but it is rarely continuous all day. This means that many activities can be scheduled based on weather conditions. Whether it's sunny or rainy, famous attractions such as the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, or Wat Phra Kaew remain accessible.

While up north there was some flooding. And drought. I cycled 1033 km last August in Thailand and got caught in rain twice. It dumps down for 20 minutes then dries off on steaming roads. And it'll still be 30-33C. But I guess August is still good for traveling.

Is Bangkok still worth visiting and will all the different night markets and vendors still be operating during this August? FWIW it is worth I have been to Bangkok and Thailand 7+ times (usually in the winter or may-June) I just want to make sure it is worth it for my fiance who is traveling to your wonderful county for the first time and I want her to get the full experience.

Hi Nathan! Visiting Bangkok in August is still worth it despite the rainy season. While this year has seen heavier rain, it's usually brief, with 4-5 dry days in a row and showers that last about an hour. Most night markets and vendors remain open, so you can still enjoy the vibrant market atmosphere. The greenery is lush, and the rain freshens the air. If you’re considering the islands, eastern ones like Koh Samui are ideal as they experience less rain in August. Your fiancé will definitely get the full experience of Bangkok. Enjoy your trip!

Warm regards,

Im trying to plan a first trip to Thailand with 2 kids aged 10 and 6. We have to fit with school so looking at 4th - 22nd April 2025 which would give us 18 days including travel from UK. Keen to see as much as we can but don’t want to spend the whole time packing and travelling. I haven’t a clue where to start so any help with a manageable rough itinerary or recommendations of must see places would be great. Thanks

I hear it’s the rainy season. How true is this? I have the last week of August and want your opinion if you’d been in Thailand during this month. I read on google that it’s rainy but I’ve traveled to places where it says it’s rainy season and maybe get a small rain shower or no rain on my whole trip. Thank you for your help!

Hi Nancy,

Absolutely, traveling to Thailand in August does mean you'll be visiting during the rainy season, but this shouldn't necessarily be a deterrent. The rain typically comes in brief showers, often lasting about 30 minutes once a day, which can actually enhance your experience. The air during this time is fresher, the landscapes are lush, and the reduced number of tourists means fewer crowds and lower prices.

If you do encounter a rain shower, it's a great opportunity to take a relaxing break. Duck into a local bar, enjoy a Leo beer, and watch the rainfall. Once it stops, you can resume your adventures. This way, you can enjoy both the serene moments during the rain and the vibrant, clear periods when it stops. 

You can also take a look at some Thailand souvenirs on this trip since Thailand offers a lot to bring home!! :D

Hi, I am planning to go to Thailand the first two weeks of August and I am really not sure about my itinerary. People say to visit either the north or the south in such short amount of time but I am afraid of missing out so much if I do it. I was thinking of visiting Bangkok for sure, and then go south remaining on the east side of the country, and some islands like Koh Samui. However i have heard about Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai so much... is it worth to go there a few days with the august weather? (Also i will not be able to drive a scooter so I will dependent on public transport/Uber). Thanks in advance

I'm going to Thailand pretty soon and thanks to this article I've learned lots of great info to prepare my trip in August. However, I haven't seen any gift ideas/stuff you ''should'' absolutely bring back from Thailand. I'll be staying in Bangkok and Phuket. I've already seen that theres a Rhum distillery worth stopping by in Chalong Bay so I will do that. Wondering if there's other things that would be worth it!
