Thailand in September: what do I pack for rain?
US, 6 Sep. December jacket is the other month. I need a day bag, not a ski list.
Poncho, not a parka
| If | Pack | Not |
|---|---|---|
| Bangkok in September | Light rain layer / poncho. Shoes that dry. TMD the week you go | A down coat because “Asia rain” |
| Andaman (Phuket / Krabi) | Same, plus a dry bag for the phone. Boats cancel | A non-refundable west-coast snorkel as the personality |
| You can still pick a coast | Best time / Gulf as the swim bet | Forcing Phuket because the postcard is dry in January |
| AC buses / malls | A thin long sleeve | Packing December for the north as if it were this flight |
FCDO still describes rain roughly May–October on the Andaman. I will not invent tomorrow’s mm. Adapter is the wall. This is the weather.
Bangkok only or a boat, and if a pool counts.
