Should you go to Thailand in June during the rainy season? We have lived in the Kingdom of Smiles for many years and are sure that there is no bad weather here. Find out how things really are with precipitation, air and sea temperatures in Phuket and Pattaya. How much are tours in June 2021 and is it good to have a rest with children.
Weather in different resorts of Thailand
June in Thailand is called the first month of the rainy season. In fact, after the dry season, the rains start as early as February. From mid-March to mid-May, there is a period of intense heat in the country. After unbearable heat and stuffiness, in June the weather seems to be quite normal. Locals and expats are genuinely happy about the arrival of summer.
Which resort to choose for a June holiday in Thailand? Most rainfall occurs in Phuket and Krabi. Much drier in Pattaya and Koh Samui. Very comfortable in June in Chiang Mai - the cultural capital of Thailand. There are only 4 days of precipitation per month, although the air temperature is higher than at sea resorts +33 ... + 34 ° С.
Air temperature during the day and night in June:
| Resort | t in the afternoon | t water | Number of rainy days |
| Pattaya | + 32 ° C | + 30 ° C | 11 |
| Phuket | + 32 ° C | + 30 ° C | 16 |

| Krabi | + 32 ° C | + 30 ° C | 12 |
| Koh Chang | + 31 ° C | + 29 ° C | 21 |
Holidays in Phuket in June
Water and air temperature. At the beginning of summer, when it is still cool to swim in Europe, in Phuket the temperature of sea water is +28 ... + 29 ° С. The air is warmed up to +31 ... + 32 ° С. Hot! You can sunbathe any day. Even when the sky is covered with clouds, solar activity is high and therefore it is easy to get burned.
Precipitation and storms. In June, Phuket receives over 280 mm of precipitation. Monsoon rains fall almost every day and do not bring coolness. After showers it becomes rather stuffy, but the air temperature does not change. On the west coast of Phuket, it sometimes storms, and on the east coast, the sea is usually calm.
How to dress for the weather. A comfortable outfit for June in Phuket is a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt, shorts and sandals. Leave warm clothes at home! We would advise you not to pack and come to Thailand light. You can easily buy everything you need for rest on the spot.
Olga: "During the entire stay, I have never been able to swim in the sea, there is a very big wave. But you can feel the full power of the Indian Ocean and breathe plenty of the sea breeze."
Holidays in Pattaya in June
Water and air temperature. In June in Pattaya, the monsoons are not scary at all. The rains and winds are only getting stronger. There is a lot of sun over the resort, and the clouds do not cover the sky with a solid wall. During the day +30 ... + 32 ° С, and at night it is only 3-4 ° С cooler. It's very warm outside even at midnight. You can feel real coolness only under the air conditioner.
Precipitation and storms. It's humid in Pattaya in June. Weather widgets predict bad weather every day. It rains regularly - up to 11-14 days, and almost 170 mm of precipitation falls per month. If there was no shower in the morning, it will be in the evening. If it doesn't rain during the day, it will rain at night. Does this weather affect your vacation? Trust me - no!
Tropical showers are a real miracle of nature. They are warm and pleasant. Swimming in the rain is a pleasure! Beach holidays in Pattaya in June are overshadowed by only rare storms. When the waves are strong, it is not very pleasant to travel by ferry to the neighboring island of Koh Lan. During storms, the sea becomes muddy and the beaches muddy. To swim in any weather, book a hotel with a pool!
How to dress for the weather. In hot weather in June, light things will come in handy in Pattaya - T-shirts, shorts, swimwear. Better to have multiple kits. When the humidity is high, the washed clothes do not dry well. Don't forget a hat, raincoat or umbrella!
Natalya: "We chose a vacation in Pattaya due to financial considerations. The vouchers were the most affordable. We went to the city beach to sunbathe and swim. It does not differ in cleanliness, but it will work for several times."

Vacation with children
In June, we saw many happy parents and children at the resorts. Vacationing with children in Thailand at the beginning of summer is much more comfortable than in Europe, where the sea water temperature does not rise above + 23 ° C.
For a trip with little ones, we recommend the wonderful island of Koh Chang. It is more interesting with schoolchildren in Pattaya - there are many shopping and entertainment centers and interesting museums where you can always take a break from the heat. Ride elephants, go to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo to feed the animals, visit the crocodile farm and Nong Nooch Tropical Park.
Is it worth a vacation in June in Thailand
Don't overly trust pessimistic weather forecasts! June in Thailand is a good month to relax. It is no coincidence that those who have already been to this country enjoy discounts and are happy to come to Thailand at the beginning of summer. However, high humidity and heat are not suitable for everyone. June weather is hard for heart patients, hypertensive patients and weather-dependent tourists.
Beach activities and boat trips spoil the storms a bit. But apart from the beaches, there is a lot of interesting things in Thailand - excursions, entertainment programs, cultural shows, nightclubs, shopping, surfing, kiting, Thai massage and spa.
