We have July - the hottest month of the year. In Thailand, intense heat occurs in spring, and midsummer is characterized by moderately hot and rainy weather. Find out how tourists say about the vacation and why many people like to travel to Thailand in July.
Weather in different resorts of Thailand
There are many myths about Thailand. In the first year of our life in this country, we waited all summer for the "terrible" rainy season to begin. Cataclysms never happened! Precipitation was, but not stronger than in the usual summer in the middle lane.
If you want to come to Thailand in July 2021, don't be afraid of the tropical monsoons! They have not yet gained strength. A truly rainy season will show itself in the fall, and in July, short and heavy showers await you, after which the land and streets dry up quickly. Most of the rain falls at night.
We traveled to different resorts in Thailand and we can confidently say that the drier and more stable weather in July is in Pattaya. There is a special microclimate on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand. The monsoon period is mild here.
There are frequent storms in Pkuket and Krabi in July, but the surfing conditions are excellent. On the islands - Ko Chang, Koh Samui, Phangan - in July is also good. However, people mainly go to the islands for a beach holiday. When storms hit the small island resorts, tourists have nothing to do.
If you want to experience the country's cultural heritage, plan a trip to the north of Thailand. Please note that landslides occur in mountainous areas during heavy rainfall, and it is unsafe to ride on mountain serpentines during the wet season.

Holidays in Phuket in July
Water and air temperature. It is hot in Phuket in July, about + 32 ° С. The difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures does not exceed 4-5 ° C. Don't expect coolness at nightfall! The water temperature does not drop below + 27 ... + 28 ° С. Despite cloudy weather, you can get a great tan.
Precipitation and storms. The southwest monsoon brings fresh winds and rains to Phuket. For most of the month, the sky was overcast. It happens that it rains for several days in a row.
Storms for July are the norm. The wind raises high waves. Particularly turbulent on the west coast of the island. From time to time, lifeguards display warning flags on the beaches. For several years, while we lived in Thailand, several people died in Phuket, who neglected the prohibitions and swam during severe storms.
In July, in Phuket, the conditions for a beach holiday are not the best, and for those who love extreme sports, it is just paradise! Many surfers and windsurfers come to the popular Thai resort.
How to dress for the weather. Phuket is not cold at any time of the year. Do not take warm clothes. They won't come in handy!
magnitka: "At the beginning it was cloudy for a couple of days, the sea was calm. It rained a couple of times in the evenings and sometimes at night - this only made the morning comfortable. Then the heat came, and after a week there was a breeze and waves at the sea."
Holidays in Pattaya in July
Water and air temperature. It's hot in Pattaya in July. During the day + 32 ° С, and at night + 27 ... + 28 ° С. It is difficult to walk for a long time. We took a breath from the heat in small 7-Eleven stores, shopping malls and cafes. The sea is warm day and night, it is pleasant to swim. Although the sky is often overcast, it is easy to get sunburn, so we advise you to always use sunscreen.
Precipitation and storms. Compared to other Thai resorts, the weather in Pattaya in July is moderately dry. Heavy showers for 5-15 minutes do not spoil the rest. Rains can start unexpectedly, carry raincoats.
Storms are frequent. They are not as strong as in Phuket. Because of the waves, the sea water becomes cloudy, and a lot of garbage is thrown onto the shore. In the low season, swimming in Pattaya is not very pleasant, but tourists are always helped out by the pools.
How to dress for the weather. Day and evening in Pattaya is warm. A light sweater can only come in handy for a long ride in an air-conditioned bus. If you don't want to get burned while walking, wear clothes that cover your shoulders.
ksju: "Our acquaintance with the sea took place on the second day after arrival - it was unsuccessful. It was rainy, strong wind, the rain had just stopped. And the beach looked ... like all beaches in the off-season."

Vacation with children
If your child can easily tolerate heat and high humidity, a vacation in Thailand in July will be comfortable.
To help the whole family get used to the tropical climate faster, do not plan a lot of excursions and activities in the early days. Give your child more plain water. Make sure he plays in the shade, swim more often and from time to time go to rest in an air-conditioned room.
Is it worth a vacation in July in Thailand
In the middle of the low season, it is good to relax in a tropical country, live among smiling people, swim in the warm sea, sunbathe and eat exotic fruits. In July in Thailand, low prices for tours, and homeowners willingly reduce the cost of rent.
With high air humidity in summer, it is difficult to rest for everyone who suffers from diseases of the respiratory system, heart and blood vessels. Weather dependent people can feel tired and lethargic. In July, the sea in Thailand is often stormy - choose a hotel or guesthouse with a pool or swim on small beaches where there are no high waves!
