In "The Rough guild to Thailand" it says ....COOL :D (November to February). HOT 8) 8) (March to May) The rainy season is the least predictable of the three, varying in length and intensity from year to year, but usually it gathers force between June and August, coming to a peak in September and October. :-/ :-/

I have been in Thailand many times during what you claim to be the rainy season, June to October. But so far I cannot figure it out why this is rainy season period. Last September I was in Pattaya for full two weeks and it rained only twice. Yes it rained heavily but only twice in two weeks. My understanding of rainy seasons is that it drizzels most of the time with thunderstroms from time to time. ???

Rainy seasons/Monsoons are themselves quite fickle, but during Monsoon it does'nt drizzle much at all, some countries high up in South America have rainy seasons where the deluge is almost non-stop for several days at a time, but in asia monsoon rain comes suddenly, in great quantity and mostly only for short spells at a time.

If you did'nt experience any rain during your stay during rainy season, and you have never experienced Monsoon downpours, maybe you were lucky,(matter of Opinion), But you have missed something you may have enjoyed ;D, maybe next time you will get lucky and get caught out in one ;D ;D its and experience alright
