    Sara, I have been in Thailand for years now, yet I have never seen a store, that actually sells WELLINGTON BOOTS!! Would make perfect sense in the long wet seasons, and a great business for somebody, who has knowledge of what is now a huge fashion accessory in Europe, where the ‘goofy’ designs, patterns and colour, would also be accepted here, for sure! Nice vlog, 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Great suggestions. If I may add one more, take a short 1 hour flight from Bangkok south to the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Tao or Koh Phangan for a few months if you have the ability to or are a digital nomad. Weather here has been mostly sunny. When it dies rain, it typically passes within 30 minutes.

      @@Nishjagani You're hitting the end of the rainy season in Phuket/rest of Thailand and close to the beginning of the rainy season in Samui. The rainy season in Koh Samui is typically from the beginning of November to the beginning of January. Some years it has started early at the end of October.
      As for Phuket, the rainy season is typically from June to October.
      With that being said, when it does rain, it's usually for about 1 hour then cloudy or sunny afterwards. It's not often that it rains constantly on the islands for multiple days in a row. I personally enjoy the rainy season due to less tourists, cheaper prices and slightly cooler weather. Enjoy your trip!

    I prefer cheap plastic sandals with Velcro straps, reason they come back up out of the water with your foot and don't float away, and less chance of tripping in them. Flip flops are way too slippery to wear on the Thai shop front Tiles. Additionally step slow and get a foot hold before next step just in case there happens to be a hole or broken pavement.

      Oh I'm late to comment. But July is a little bit better. That's because September and October are the peak rainy season where rains are crazy strong. The closer you are to September the worse it gets. But not to worry sometimes it depends on your luck as well.

      This July in Bangkok and Chiang Mai was mostly cloudy or sunny. When rain came it usually lasted for 1-2 hours, and back to normal.
      So yes, it also comes down to your luck😊

    Nice useful tips. Now I can try to blend in so I don't look like a tourist in Thailand. 😉Investing in a pair of flip flops is way less expensive than buying snow/ice boots for winters in North America or Europe. Yes, the streets in Bangkok tends to flood during the monsoon season but the water often drains in a few hours, whereas fighting snow and ice covered streets and roads in North America and Europe can last for days or weeks. 🥶😱☹

    "Rain only lasts a few hours and then the sunshine comes back"
    That is not my experience of rainy season in Thailand, at all. It's more like a myth that Thai people like to promote to foreigners. Maybe in June it's like that, but I was there in October for 3 weeks and there was sunshine for a few hours in the morning, then torrential rain ALL DAY, 98% of the days.

    • @NightBazaar

      @MAGICMARS If you can, I'd say go in December or January. It's in the "cool" season, although cool is a relative term. It's still hot. It can still rain a little bit, but it's mostly sunny and dry.

    • @MVUK358
      @MVUK358 2 роки тому +1

      @MAGICMARS September and October are usually the rainiest months of the rainy season. When I was there in October, the weather was like this: 2 to 3 hours of sunshine in the morning (on a good day!) then heavy rain the rest of the day! It was like that in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Chang, Koh Kood. I will never go to Thailand again in September or October. Just December to May :)

    Tim, Jay, or Jet..? It's a tough one.. Jet would be the prettiest but he's the most masculine also.. so??
