Pattaya in August: reviews of tourists, prices, holiday features

Many travel agencies do not recommend their clients to go to Thailand at the end of summer. They cause this by numerous downpours, cloudiness, small storms and other bad weather in the region. But in fact, such a resort as Pattaya, in August, lives as actively as in any other month of the year. Here you can sunbathe on the beach during the day (showers short-term), and at night visit bars, discos, street carnivals and beach parties. Consider in more detail than is famous for the main resort of Thailand at this time.

Weather

The summer period in Thailand is a particularly hot and humid season. In the daytime, the air temperature warms up to 32 degrees (sometimes more), and at night the air cools down to just +28. The humidity is about 85%. Keep in mind, the most popular local resort here, Pattaya, literally drowns in showers in August. They are short-lived, but very strong (at times even umbrellas break from them). But literally an hour after such an invasion everything dries up, the hot sun rises, and you can safely go to the beach, sunbathe and swim in the sea.

The state of water in late summer

The city of Pattaya swims in the waters of the Gulf of Thailand, which by its nature is quiet and calm. Storms happen here only if a strong wind blows into the region. It happens that the water level in the sea rises very high, and the coastal territories are flooded (but this phenomenon is extremely rare). Given the fact that Pattaya is warming up to a maximum in August (compared to any other month), the water here is like fresh milk. Its temperature is about +30 degrees, and in some areas where the shallows stretch very far, it is still hot. It is worth noting that the beaches that are within the city are not entirely clean. Here the sand and the water itself are dirty. Therefore, if you want to fully relax and sunbathe, go outside the city, where there are picturesque coves and bays, in which there is a minimum of wind and a maximum of hot sun.

Price policy

If you dream of a budget vacation in late summer, then one of the most optimal solutions will be a trip to the Thai city of Pattaya. In August, prices for tours here are the most minimal because of the rains, because of the very high air temperature and humidity. At the same time, we note that the prices for air tickets are falling, since few people are flying in this direction during this period. They lower their tariffs for living local hotels to a minimum, since they are completely empty. Local traders give their goods almost free, so as not to stay in the red. Therefore, having gone to Thailand in the summer, you get an excellent opportunity not just to rest cheaply, but also to buy very valuable goods, which in winter would have cost fabulously expensive.

Features of summer tourism in Thailand

As already mentioned above, at the end of summer, winds rise here, which provoke waves in the waters of the bay. That is why on holiday in Pattaya in August, fans of windsurfing and those who have long wanted to learn this sport are chosen. And on city beaches and on country recreation areas there are centers where you can rent all necessary surf equipment, and also take with you an experienced instructor who will tell you how to wave right.
