Bangkok Weather
Bangkok weather, as anyone who travels in Thailand will almost certainly tell you, can get extremely hot at the very best of times. Well then, some like it hot, so they say. I for one, love the hot sunny climate in Thailand. Firstly there is little need to wear lots of clothes and secondly, although I may not know your individual preferences, I always choose to travel as light as possible wherever I wander. Shorts, sandals and t-shirts are the way to go. As a writer, I could roam around this way indefinitely. The weather in Cape Town, South Africa, where I reside, can also get hot during the few summer months but it's not nearly as hot as the weather in Thailand. This is partly due to South Africa's milder Mediterranean climate whereas Thailand is situated way up in the tropics. Cape Town can also get rather cold and windy during the winter months, so it's at this time of the year when I like to leave home. Thailand is my preferred destination of choice and best of all, Thailand doesn't seem to have a winter at all, so to speak of. In fact, when I decide on a travel destination, I like to follow the sun. Don't you think that warm weather just gives you a rather fresh sense of freedom as well as allowing you to move around a lot easier. Okay, so maybe I'm speaking for myself here. Apart from the intense heat in
Bangkok City
, you are also subjected to some extremely high levels of humidity, especially from April through to the end of July. It only gets a little cooler throughout the rest of the year.
Bangkok WeatherWhy do tourists come to BangkokCertainly not for the heat, traffic congestion or the pollution. Could one of the reasons be to get away from the cold! Well I suppose, there could be a lot of other reasons too. I shan't mention all of them here because I would really love you to visit my other pages to find out more about this exciting city. No you don't have to read them all now. You can come back later if you like.Now where was I. Oh yes! I was talking about the weather and I kinda got sidetracked. Should you get a little hot under the collar, while winding your way around the city, then there are loads of department stores and shopping malls as well as cafe's or restaurants to escape the heat. Most if not all, are air-conditioned. This will provide some comfort until you feel the energy to continue your journey. If matters not what time of the year that you are here as it appears to be hot all year round.
