Ive often been asked if visiting Isaan during the rainy season is worthwhile. Well the short answer is yes. From end May on until mid October the rainy season is on in a regular way. That means that most days to varying degrees we get rain. Normally the mornings are hot and a bit steamy then later afternoon down it comes. Having said that, it can also rain all day or not at all. So its hard to quantify how much rain we get. I know that towards the end of the rainy season Ive had enough. Clothes are damp, furniture get a layer of mold and the weeds grow like crazy. The upside is the beauty of the rice fields, forests, and country side, so wonderful to see. Of course its warm so no cold wet days just warm wet days. Then an amazing change happens, one morning you wake up to a blue sky, and out comes the sun. This is late October and its cooling down. The dry season is really the right time to visit, from Mid to late october through to mid end May is just glorious. I remember my first year, I started living here in the Month of october and thought, wow, this is amazing, cool mornings dry blue skies and an abundant supply of water from the full dams.
So although its fine to come visit Isaan in the rainy season, the best time is the winter dry months. The temperature in our village which is surrounded by forests can get as low as 18 degrees but warms up to around 28 to 34 degrees mid morning. Paradise I can tell you. If you are thinking of coming to Isaan drop me a line and Ill give you an update. If not visiting still drop me a line 5555.
