I am Thai and most Thais usually know specific time to visit those islands in the east or south of Thailand. In addition we also have to consider whether it is low or high season to visit. High season means it costs more for flight tickets, hotels or more tourists.
Thank you all for keeping it real. This is the #1 reason I started following you a year+ ago. Between the food costs, transportation needs, cost of living videos, and pros and cons…I can actually decide if it’s a place I want go. Again, your style is the reason I ended up traveling the DR and meeting you in LT rather then being a resort tourist the rest of my life. I can never thank you enough for that! Keep the content rolling. I watch on my phone always and you know I’m subscribed and a Patreon-er! ❤😊
Matty you are the best! 🤗 We think you'd like it here (when the weather is good haha) though. It's a great place! We'll be showing some other areas of Thailand as well so lots more on the way - Anna
You can change to explore the north of Thailand if you can during this time because the weather over there is really good and you can come back to the south of Thailand in Feb 😊
I don't see it as complaining at all. Just being real. I love how positive y'all are even when you're not in the best of situations. I think most of us appreciate the whole experience rather than just the fabulous parts. 😉 Hope the weather gets better! Love all your videos.
In this season, Thai people often travel to the North because the weather is cool and comfortable and the view is beautiful. At this time, the South has a lot of rain ,so it is popular to go to the South in the summer. Thank you for your positive thoughts.
Aw, you guys aren’t complaining, just stating facts. Must be so hard trying to put together content when it rains day after day…enough to get anyone a bit fed up! Looking forward to the sun coming out and my Fab Four meeting up! 👏🤞😂
2022, there are about 10 million tourists visiting Thailand. It is impossible for all tourists to have a good experience. Some people may find the experience not very impressive. And you guys are one of them. I hope that next time, if you come to Thailand again, you will find the best experience. We are always welcome.
Keep sharing! Northern Thailand, Central Thailand, and Southern Thailand actually have different weather patterns. Most information sources only share Central Thailand seasonal patterns which may get travelers to other regions in a bind. Example: Northern Thailand is a no-go between January to March because of rice field burning.
It’s so rainy here on Vancouver Island. After Christmas I turn into a hermit + I love doing treadmill + watching UA-cam.lol. At least the food there is amazing + cheap so u can get takeout for your shows👌Enjoy!
@@DelightfulTravellers we already do. Have been there on holiday for more than 10 years. Nai Harn and kata noi mostly but this year we rented a pool villa in Nai harn/ Rawai. 🥰😄
Hey Trevor and Anna, I'm subscribed and have pressed the like button as I always do :) I tend to watch on my laptop or on the Tv. The rain in Thailand can be nice at times but when it's constant like it's been it would be a bit of a drag, especially for what you do with your channel. Getting a massage and watching some Netflix which is always great :)
The El Niña (not niño)? It has been affecting weather globally these past 6 (?) months. Apparently, it will now slowly transcend into El Niña with basically the opposite long lasting weather system, meaning higher temperatures and draughts. But how that affect different parts of the planet, like over Thailand, Idk.
Always love all your videos! Absolutely loved your travels in the DR. Thailand looks beautiful and the food looks delicious. I sure hope you get some better weather but it’s a great time to just relax and get some massages lol
Patong is a part of Phuket.. I have lived here in Thailand for 23 years. Unfortunately travellers like yourselves get ripped off,taken for fools and have no idea how this Country works. Nobody but tourists use Grab..it is far to expensive for us locals. Rawai beach is a tourist trap. The best Thai food is street food..we locals hardly ever eat in the tourist resturants. Just for info, during the monsoon season the main overflow sewer empties into the river one KM from Rawai Beach..A month in Thailand will not even scratch the surface of Thai culture, especially in the Tourist trap that is Phuket. You might as well fly to Las Vegas for a month and do the same there..But, thanjs for soending your cash 😂
Im watching from Ontario Canada! Its been very grey with a wintry mix for quite some time ...horrible! Thank you for sharing your adventures. I enjoy your videos. Despite the rain you are lucky to have the heat!
I love swimming in heavy rain. As a Canadian we have seasons of cold rain. Embrace the warm rain, unless they're is lightning. You should book hotels which are in walking distance to the beach. My gf and I recently stayed at Kata Palm Beach hotel in Phuket. 6-8 January. Very nice hotel. 10 minute walk to the beach. The weather was great. By the way, the rainy season starts in July and ends in October
Sorry guys. As a long time resident here. Have to say you overpaid for your transportation and your lunch. Also, I have never heard of a restaurant saying they don't make non spicy dishes for farang. Never. Phuket prices are not Thai prices. Travelers should check out travel videos for Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Pattaya. And the rain. Pattaya, for example, gets 1.43 times less rain than Phuket. Annual averages. Phuket 134 mm. Pattaya 93 mm.
Overpaid compared to what? These are the prices of Phuket. Just like you said, it costs more here. We have videos in other areas of the country as well btw - Trevor
How can these "travelers" be so ignorant and compare the Caribbean weather to the weather in Thailand? Jesus Christ... No wonder why this video has so many dislikes.
i do not see this as complaining; i see it as seeing both sides of your journey....the good and the not so good!! thanks for being transparent and showing it all!!! I am watching on my pc :)
I totally don't blame you for getting tired of the rain. Don't blame you for the disappointment with that, I would be the same way. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching them weekly!!!
It's snowing so hard in the United States that it has killed almost 70 people. Meanwhile, Europe is snowing without snow and some areas are the hottest in 104 years, especially England, where temperatures are usually sub-zero or colder. I think the world is adjusting to its own balance.
I tried working in a school in Krabi. I thought I was going to go to the beach everyday after school, but it rained everyday for months. Those photos you see of sunny blue sky days are rare.
Watching you both on our iPad here in Rawai. Enjoy following your travels. We've been here since 18th December. We had a evening in Patong which rained heavily for around 40 minutes. We've had a few rain showers while we’ve been here but must have been in having a siesta when there’s been the downpours you’ve experienced. We’ve been watching you both and the lovely couple C&C who we think you’ll be meeting up with, since lockdown. We’re on countdown now for our flight back home 🥲 Keep enjoying life and making memories.
Hey fellow Canadians! Don’t listen to keyword warriors. I ABSOLUTELY put 10times more value on REALISTIC content where the good and bad are both shared. So thank you for that and keep up the good work! By the way we are planning to visit Phuket and Ko Samui in March. We are from Vancouver. How does the rain compares to the non stop all week rain for 9 months in vancouver? 😂

Hey guys, enjoying the videos keep up the great work! Usually I watch on my computer, however used the iPad through a lot of your Nova Scotia videos when planning our travels last year. Stay safe!
We are impressed you’ve stayed so motivated with all the rainy days, I’d just want to curl up on the couch. Don’t see it as complaining just reality.

These Canadians are watching from Trinidad and Tobago, casting from my phone to the big TV. Weather here has been great all month, but a rainy system has moved in just as we are about to visit a beachfront apartment in Tobago, from the more industrial Trinidad where we stay with family 🇹🇹🤷🏼♀️. We can't control the weather! 🌧️ Wishing you delightful travels 😉
If you know much about the tropics it doesn’t rain all the time in dry season (believe it or not it’s actually called dry season for a reason 😱). As we said in the video this was the worst weather we’ve ever encountered anywhere in the world in terms of rain/clouds and everyone in the area was talking about how bad the weather was. We’re from Canada, we know rain, and we’ve been to Scotland.
Hi Anna and Trevor, I thought you told it like it is, good for you to be so honest. I think (hopefully) you are meeting up with Chris and Carol. I know they left Singapore with his parents, on to Cambodia then to Thailand. Looking forward to seeing where you will meet up with them. Keep making these wonderful videos, I watch on my iPad and we watch you on our TV as well. Stay dry🌴☀️❤️🇨🇦
Hey Guys, wife and me were there to ring the new years in Phuket, a beautiful paradise and was lovely to have sunny weather , I hope the weather gods are in favour for rest of ur trip, have fun.
Sorry to see it you guys. Weather can be so critical for those beach destinations!! Hopefully sunnier skies ahead and in time will be just a small blip amongst all your incredible travels 💙
On the pc with headphones in the living room with family. I was in Phuket in November and the weather was perfect, its just bad luck is all. I value `real` content over pre-fabricated content, GREAT JOB!!! Keep it real x
Clearly, we don’t control everything that happens, especially the weather which is extremely unpredictable. Watching videos on my iPad and 📺 for the most part, sometimes on my cell phone. Stay positive, this too shall pass. 😊
We always watch you guys on our TV...so less convenient to 'like' i guess, but we are subscribers. I think this video is good to show the reality of weather and also to show sometimes you just gotta go out despite the weather...maybe your lucky and the weather changes, sometimes it doesn't 😊
Happy New Year guys. Thanks for always keeping it real. Beautiful day here in Cape Breton today but we all know that can change in a hot minute. LOL. Good luck with the next stop. Cant wait to watch on my phone! Love fr CB ❤
I feel for you guys..good weather is one of the most important things when travelling and actually getting out there for content. The seasons seem to be getting delayed everywhere..winter hasn't even reached most of Europe yet and the rainy winter dragged on reallllly long here in Melbourne, Aus. I'm going to island hop Koh Samui - Phagnan - Tao in March and hoping for the best! Phuket should be clear by mid-Dec, I've been in late September before and only had intermittent rain!

Hello Trevor and Anna, Happy New Years greetings to you from an equally grey and Mostly rainy Nova Scotia. Some days we all get more rain than we want, for sure. In my part of NS, we have had 11 straight days of rain, sometimes freezing rain and yesterday Jan 7 was our first day of any sunshine since Dec 26. And the night before it actually snowed enough to cover the grass and trees with that sparkly snow. Our first snow of any type here in the valley west of Halifax. It was so pretty while it lasted, couple of hours. Que cera cera! I’ve been very busy with full time childcare these past few months which Allows much less opportunity to enjoy quiet moments to dream with you guys. Winter brings its annoyances no matter where we are on the earth. It’s meant for quieter spaces and more introspection time, so a massage and pool time even if it’s raining cats and dogs sounds like a good plan and , of course, really good food. Maybe like the couple on the beach, you just dance in the rain, especially if it’s a warm rain.😉Good days guys. From NS
That couple on the beach made our day! So fun. We hope the weather gets better for you there Jean. It's just an extra bummer when you spend all this money to come to a tropical climate and not get what you signed up for. That's all 😀 - Trevor
Have you gone to Thailand in the rainy season? I went in a 13 day tour from January 16th 2024 to January 29th 2024 and rained for about an 2 hours on one day of the trip and that's it
I usually watch you guys on the big TV in the living room with my Sunday morning coffee. 😁 Bad weather is the worst when travelling, especially when you have limited days, I empathize!
Not sure exactly when this was filmed. But we have been in phuket for the last week and haven't had any rain. Currently writing this on January 18, 2023.
We arrived in Phuket a few days ago and have had nothing but nice weather. What has changed from our previous visits is the traffic which has really gone from bad to worse. And the invasion of Orcs... this will be our last time in Phuket. Sadly...
We can totally relate to this. We also slow travel a lot and in Mexico we picked a place to stay for a month and the weather was no the best, had to run from a few tropical storms and hurricanes and ended up being next to a party house with loud music ALL night. But like you guys we stayed positive and made the best out of the situation. like you said travel doesn't always go to plan but you don't have to let it get to you.
You folks ought to come and visit my neck of the woods (the Scottish Highlands). It rains all the time here! Last summer was a Wednesday afternoon, I think!😉 Love and All Good Things, Jesse.🌹
We just returned to Australia, from Phuket. We had amazing weather from Dec30 - Jan 11..it rained once…it’s the beginning of dry season..we had perfectly sunny days.
Thats what we have experienced in our many years in Thailand. The rainseason has no strict schedule since about 5 years. Good weather starts by the middle to end of February
I'm watching on my television but connected to my phone so I can add videos to my queue 😉 Hope the weather improves for you, beautifulbeaches. Meeting up with Jumping Places ? Safe and happy travels.
At the end of the day, we’re human beings doing the best we can with what we have. Just as you had graciously been keepin’ it real while in the thick of The Plague of 2020 (and ‘21), so too are you doing while visiting beautiful Thailand. I appreciate the candour in your videos and look forward to watching who your future guests may be on my iPad mini! 🤗
Well it’s hot with high humidity. Throughout the early part of the daily heat evaporates water into Vapour which the less dense hot air Carries that moisture upwards. Once that water rises enough so it condenses in in cooler denser air that results in heavy rainfall. Heavy cloud cover in this case is likely due to abundant moisture in the air. The unsettled weather may also be contributed with some irregularities with this years Monsoon season.
Funny thing is that we are planning to be in Thailand next November and are kind of chuckling to ourselves as it seems that everywhere we go we bring the rain (which is ironic given that we are from the West Coast of Canada). As for what we watch when it rains: Netflix: Kaleidoscope, Recruit. Apple+: Echo3, Mythic Quest, Slow Horses Prime: Jack Ryan. So many more, but this is our latest set of TV goodness.
Guys, Grab is the most expensive option. Try InDrive and Bolt. I stayed at Calypso for 5 weeks in September. Most trips were 150 baht. Have you been to Happy Jacks yet? Probably the BEST burger on the island. Tell Peter that I sent you. 😊
Lies? Wow!! Thank you for giving us so much credit, we didn’t know we were that talented with editing and green screens! Or maybe we’re just magic and made it rain in the video? Did you miss that part? It literally downpours while we’re filming 😂😂😂. We also said in the video that it was December. But why bother paying any attention 🤷♀️🤷♀️..(FYI- most UA-camrs - especially in the travel genre are a bit behind - it’s A LOT of work, never assume something was filmed in the last couple of days).
Thanks for this video. That's why I probably won't choose Thailand for vacation. This video demotivated me to come, because I really hate rain on my holidays. Thanks. Love your videos❤️
In the Dominican Republic the same thing happens these days, what happens is that winter is reflected in this way in warm countries, unlike cold countries where snow falls.
Hello everyone! We are new AMWF content creator. I'm from Bangkok and my gf's from Scotland. It is good to see an AMWF content creator on UA-cam. Have a nice day/evening everyone! 🇹🇭🇬🇧 Paul and Jay
Sitting at the beach and having a few beers is a good idea when the weather is bad. Like hearing the sound of the waves. Have you tried the feet thing yet where you stick your feet in a tank full of little fish lol I have always wanted to try that. Nice video. I am on my phone right now . Thanks and take care.
Well here in Pattaya it hasn’t rained for weeks! 😊. Also Hua Hin is probably the driest area of Thailand. If you go on the weather App Windy it shows rain accumulation up to ten days ahead, its a good guide!
Hello there, we’re in Phuket too and we’re slow travelers as well. The first three days were rough but the weather is getting better, so don’t worry we will all enjoy our stay here
The cost of living in Phuket is three times of Chiang Mai. Even most Thai people do not go to Phuket. So if anyone is thinking of going to Phuket make sure you have enough money. A place like Phuket if you have enough money you can get everything you want. If you want a beautiful environment like Phuket but don't want to pay a lot.You should choose another place to live. In Chiang Mai you can live on 5 USD per day while in Phuket you have to spend 5 USD per meal.
you guys can always go to the islands on the gulf of Thailand for a change, nearest to Phuket are the islands on suratthani province samui, phangan and Koh tao. I'm not sure about the weather on that side since the weather is unpredictable nowadays but you could always give it a try,
Oh no. I’m sorry your getting the rain. I thought rainy season was over. I was there in October when it flooded and the water was up to my waist and I had to walk back to my hotel from Bangla Road. The weather has been pretty unpredictable every where. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing… PS . I just finished watching Emily In Paris
Welcome to the club. In Vancouver we are in the middle of many rainy days. But we are working so we don't notice it as much. But hopefully for y'all will get your sunny 🌞 skies.

You 🏝🏖You should be in Pattaya rather than Phuket. because it's close to Bangkok
@@LANSIRI803 why in gods name would you want to be in pattaya or even near to bangkok ?????????
I am Thai and most Thais usually know specific time to visit those islands in the east or south of Thailand. In addition we also have to consider whether it is low or high season to visit. High season means it costs more for flight tickets, hotels or more tourists.
Thanks for watching! 🤗 - Anna
I tried to negotiate prices in Phuket during low season and some locals are telling me there's now low season. Prices are always the same. Liars lol!
Is it a good idea to go to Phuket in June?

Phuket is ok but it’s not the real Thailand chaing Mia is lovely it’s half the price as well
So North Thailand rains less in rainy season?

Is early june a good month to go to phuket?
@@maximwuytack7024 You can travel, but it will start to rain.
That's not true and rain is rare so early in the year, may is the start of wet season with a little in April usually

Dear travelers, monsoon season can last for 5 months. Starts in October till february. Just be aware of that. It is normal to have flooding as well.

it's monsoon season in southern. meanwhile in other part especially in Northern , it's cold and weather is nice, perfect for travel.
Who would have thought it rains a lot in the tropics 😮
Don’t come to Scotland , i rains loads here too , but it’s not 30 degrees while it’s happening.
If you know much about the tropics it doesn’t rain all the time in dry season (believe it or not it’s actually called dry season for a reason 😱).

I know they left Singapore with his parents, on to Cambodia then to Thailand. Looking forward to seeing where you will meet up with them. Keep making these wonderful videos, I watch on my iPad and we watch you on our TV as well. Stay dry🌴☀️❤️🇨🇦
Yay! Jumping Places colab! Always watch on my phone and like. Enjoy the downtime while it lasts.
Hey Guys, wife and me were there to ring the new years in Phuket, a beautiful paradise and was lovely to have sunny weather , I hope the weather gods are in favour for rest of ur trip, have fun.
Please do visit Fuga club , amazing place with a great view
Thanks! Which part of Phuket? - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers near Patong Beach
That weather sucks, hopefully it will get better. Watching on a big TV as usual :-)
Best way to watch! 🙂 - Trevor
Sorry to see it you guys. Weather can be so critical for those beach destinations!! Hopefully sunnier skies ahead and in time will be just a small blip amongst all your incredible travels 💙
Appreciate that 🤗 - Anna
On the pc with headphones in the living room with family. I was in Phuket in November and the weather was perfect, its just bad luck is all. I value `real` content over pre-fabricated content, GREAT JOB!!! Keep it real x
Luv it... thank you!
Phuket was not a mistake. Going during monsoon was the mistake. 🥵
Clearly, we don’t control everything that happens, especially the weather which is extremely unpredictable. Watching videos on my iPad and 📺 for the most part, sometimes on my cell phone. Stay positive, this too shall pass. 😊
🤗
We always watch you guys on our TV...so less convenient to 'like' i guess, but we are subscribers.
I think this video is good to show the reality of weather and also to show sometimes you just gotta go out despite the weather...maybe your lucky and the weather changes, sometimes it doesn't 😊
Thanks Tania! We want to show the reality of travel like this sometimes. When we do we get a lot of negative comments though haha - Trevor
I was in Phuket rawai last year at the same time , and thank God we had sunny days 😊
Oh wow.. the opposite of us! - Anna
Happy New Year guys. Thanks for always keeping it real. Beautiful day here in Cape Breton today but we all know that can change in a hot minute. LOL. Good luck with the next stop. Cant wait to watch on my phone! Love fr CB ❤
CB! Woohoo... we're looking forward to getting back there in the summer. Hope the vlogs look great on the phone - Trevor
I feel for you guys..good weather is one of the most important things when travelling and actually getting out there for content. The seasons seem to be getting delayed everywhere..winter hasn't even reached most of Europe yet and the rainy winter dragged on reallllly long here in Melbourne, Aus. I'm going to island hop Koh Samui - Phagnan - Tao in March and hoping for the best! Phuket should be clear by mid-Dec, I've been in late September before and only had intermittent rain!

Hello Trevor and Anna, Happy New Years greetings to you from an equally grey and Mostly rainy Nova Scotia. Some days we all get more rain than we want, for sure. In my part of NS, we have had 11 straight days of rain, sometimes freezing rain and yesterday Jan 7 was our first day of any sunshine since Dec 26. And the night before it actually snowed enough to cover the grass and trees with that sparkly snow. Our first snow of any type here in the valley west of Halifax. It was so pretty while it lasted, couple of hours. Que cera cera!
I’ve been very busy with full time childcare these past few months which Allows much less opportunity to enjoy quiet moments to dream with you guys. Winter brings its annoyances no matter where we are on the earth. It’s meant for quieter spaces and more introspection time, so a massage and pool time even if it’s raining cats and dogs sounds like a good plan and , of course, really good food. Maybe like the couple on the beach, you just dance in the rain, especially if it’s a warm rain.😉Good days guys. From NS
That couple on the beach made our day! So fun. We hope the weather gets better for you there Jean. It's just an extra bummer when you spend all this money to come to a tropical climate and not get what you signed up for. That's all 😀 - Trevor
I'm a truck driver and watch y'all on my cellphone.🤠
So cool! 🤙 - Trevor
Have you gone to Thailand in the rainy season? I went in a 13 day tour from January 16th 2024 to January 29th 2024 and rained for about an 2 hours on one day of the trip and that's it
nope...we just hooked extremely bad weather for a month - Anna
I usually watch you guys on the big TV in the living room with my Sunday morning coffee. 😁
Bad weather is the worst when travelling, especially when you have limited days, I empathize!
New to your channel…thanks for your honest video. I’ll be looking at your past vids
Woohoo welcome aboard! - Anna
Not sure exactly when this was filmed. But we have been in phuket for the last week and haven't had any rain. Currently writing this on January 18, 2023.
Mid December we filmed it!
We arrived in Phuket a few days ago and have had nothing but nice weather. What has changed from our previous visits is the traffic which has really gone from bad to worse. And the invasion of Orcs... this will be our last time in Phuket. Sadly...
What are orcs?

@@davelilley1692 lol im here right now for first time and its full of russians! Is this normal?
@@Dawho99 i don't know.
Already subscribed. Love your vids. Always watch on tower computer with headphones.
We can totally relate to this. We also slow travel a lot and in Mexico we picked a place to stay for a month and the weather was no the best, had to run from a few tropical storms and hurricanes and ended up being next to a party house with loud music ALL night. But like you guys we stayed positive and made the best out of the situation. like you said travel doesn't always go to plan but you don't have to let it get to you.
What place in Mexico?! We'll have to avoid it haha 😅 All you can do is make the best of a bad situation indeed - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers it was Playa del Carmen. Our lovely host and the beautiful beach were our only saving grace
You folks ought to come and visit my neck of the woods (the Scottish Highlands). It rains all the time here! Last summer was a Wednesday afternoon, I think!😉
Love and All Good Things,
Jesse.🌹
We just returned to Australia, from Phuket. We had amazing weather from Dec30 - Jan 11..it rained once…it’s the beginning of dry season..we had perfectly sunny days.
Thats what we have experienced in our many years in Thailand. The rainseason has no strict schedule since about 5 years. Good weather starts by the middle to end of February
Thanks for letting us know Simon. Honestly it’s been terrible in general. It’s worse than most rainy seasons we have even experienced haha - Trevor
I'm watching on my television but connected to my phone so I can add videos to my queue 😉
Hope the weather improves for you, beautifulbeaches. Meeting up with Jumping Places ?
Safe and happy travels.
Jumping Places... 🤔 Never heard of them 😉- Trevor
I watch you folks on my iPad! Still a great video. Rain and all💖
Lots of iPads! Interesting! - Anna
At the end of the day, we’re human beings doing the best we can with what we have. Just as you had graciously been keepin’ it real while in the thick of The Plague of 2020 (and ‘21), so too are you doing while visiting beautiful Thailand. I appreciate the candour in your videos and look forward to watching who your future guests may be on my iPad mini! 🤗
🥰
Well it’s hot with high humidity. Throughout the early part of the daily heat evaporates water into Vapour which the less dense hot air Carries that moisture upwards. Once that water rises enough so it condenses in in cooler denser air that results in heavy rainfall. Heavy cloud cover in this case is likely due to abundant moisture in the air. The unsettled weather may also be contributed with some irregularities with this years Monsoon season.
Thank you for great videos!
As soon tourists started coming back, they triple the prices for tourists.
Funny thing is that we are planning to be in Thailand next November and are kind of chuckling to ourselves as it seems that everywhere we go we bring the rain (which is ironic given that we are from the West Coast of Canada). As for what we watch when it rains: Netflix: Kaleidoscope, Recruit. Apple+: Echo3, Mythic Quest, Slow Horses Prime: Jack Ryan. So many more, but this is our latest set of TV goodness.
I watch you on my iPad. Although you’ve had rain in Thailand, your attitude is always sunny ☀️ and positive.
🤗
Guys, Grab is the most expensive option. Try InDrive and Bolt. I stayed at Calypso for 5 weeks in September. Most trips were 150 baht. Have you been to Happy Jacks yet? Probably the BEST burger on the island. Tell Peter that I sent you. 😊
We’ve been to happy jacks yea! Great spot. We could t get InDrive to work unfortunately- Trevor
Great video! I feel you on the torrential downpour. I do love cloudy days without the wet tho, so much more comfortable in the heat!
Lies. The weather here in Phuket is nice. It has NOT rained much lately.
Lies? Wow!! Thank you for giving us so much credit, we didn’t know we were that talented with editing and green screens! Or maybe we’re just magic and made it rain in the video? Did you miss that part? It literally downpours while we’re filming 😂😂😂. We also said in the video that it was December. But why bother paying any attention 🤷♀️🤷♀️..(FYI- most UA-camrs - especially in the travel genre are a bit behind - it’s A LOT of work, never assume something was filmed in the last couple of days).
Is it hot. Yes, cannot control the sun. Rain comes with humidity. I will take it anyday. You can have the snow from where I am from.
I just found your channel and this is my first video. Just subscribed !! Looking forward to more videos. 🤗💖
Woohhoo welcome aboard 🤗 - Anna
Thanks for this video. That's why I probably won't choose Thailand for vacation. This video demotivated me to come, because I really hate rain on my holidays. Thanks. Love your videos❤️
We’re glad you found it helpful. We can confirm that the weather is much better now in the south of Thailand though 🤗
In the Dominican Republic the same thing happens these days, what happens is that winter is reflected in this way in warm countries, unlike cold countries where snow falls.

It’s rainy season year round. Tropical.
Sitting at the beach and having a few beers is a good idea when the weather is bad. Like hearing the sound of the waves. Have you tried the feet thing yet where you stick your feet in a tank full of little fish lol I have always wanted to try that. Nice video. I am on my phone right now . Thanks and take care.
I am glad y’all rolling with the punches. You’re still doing great contents considering…
Glad i live outside of phuket and when the weather sucks, i can just go home
Where do you live? - Trevor
Well here in Pattaya it hasn’t rained for weeks! 😊. Also Hua Hin is probably the driest area of Thailand. If you go on the weather App Windy it shows rain accumulation up to ten days ahead, its a good guide!
We were just in Hua Hin and loved it.
That's crazy! Maybe we should go to Pattaya
We watch on our tv from our phones! Swimming in the rain is nice I don't know why lol! Enjoyed the video!
💯
Love your travels…watching from my cozy cottage in Nl and Lab,Canada
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗 - Anna
Oh man...what rotten luck. I don't know if there's anything worse of going to a beach destination and having rain every day.
Thanks A! That's exactly it haha.. just bad luck (for a looooooong time here). All good either way 👍 - Trevor
Hello there, we’re in Phuket too and we’re slow travelers as well. The first three days were rough but the weather is getting better, so don’t worry we will all enjoy our stay here
Have so much fun! - Anna
The cost of living in Phuket is three times of Chiang Mai. Even most Thai people do not go to Phuket. So if anyone is thinking of going to Phuket make sure you have enough money. A place like Phuket if you have enough money you can get everything you want. If you want a beautiful environment like Phuket but don't want to pay a lot.You should choose another place to live.
In Chiang Mai you can live on 5 USD per day while in Phuket you have to spend 5 USD per meal.
Did you say this video was taken in Dec? We are going to Phuket this coming Mid to late December
you guys can always go to the islands on the gulf of Thailand for a change, nearest to Phuket are the islands on suratthani province samui, phangan and Koh tao. I'm not sure about the weather on that side since the weather is unpredictable nowadays but you could always give it a try,
Oh no. I’m sorry your getting the rain. I thought rainy season was over. I was there in October when it flooded and the water was up to my waist and I had to walk back to my hotel from Bangla Road. The weather has been pretty unpredictable every where. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing… PS . I just finished watching Emily In Paris
We heard so much about those floods. Glad we missed those! - Trevor
When did you go ? We are going in December end
Welcome to the club. In Vancouver we are in the middle of many rainy days. But we are working so we don't notice it as much. But hopefully for y'all will get your sunny 🌞 skies.
