July-Oct is regarded as the rainy season, but I wouldn't let that put either of you off. We get very little rain here in HH and that that does come is usually in the afternoons and refreshing.
It'll be hot and humid.
Having siad that, it's just been pouring here now, with a big thunderstorm - unusual for March. The country's semi-tropical, so the weather can do wierd things.
Thunderstorm lasted 5 minutes if that but it may be back later?
As a rule guys even during the rainy season the rains don't last for long
Personnally I prefer the rainy season to the so called winter period and the extremly hot period ( late March until mid May)

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.
Yeo, that's right lomu.
We have just had this years first rainfall.
Pouring down, thunder and lightning, we're back to normal state.
A little bit here and a little bit there.
As long long as the roof is watertight; it's a pleasure with all this water.
As lomu says, monsoon time used to be from April to June/July, but these days you'll never know.
Depends on which New Year are refering to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, but not much thunder and lightning in January BaaBaa.
At least not close to Khao Hin Lek Fai where I live.
I'm not that old. I can still hear the thunderclaps!
You must have been in the wrong/right place in January. My garden (until the 10 mins downpour tonight) hasn't seen rain since September.
For Bronzom and Rob C, September and October (especially October) is usually the wettest months of the year with rain dying off in November. That said, last year what appeared to be a perfectly normal rainy season was cut short 2 months early. My water bills (big garden) have been 7 times that when it's raining. July is usually okay and as has been said only has short bursts of rain and has been known to be a dry month.
As you may be realising, whatever is the forecast, it can change to the opposite. Whatever the weather, you'll still have a great time. TIT
I was there last Sept/Oct. Thunderstorms every afternoon, but that was nice as it cooled things off and didn't interfer with what we wanted to do during the day. Wondeerful evenings.
We did pass on some scheduled trips to the North and Norteast due to flooding, but nothing like that in HH.
When it does rain, it can be chucking it down in Hua Hin, and not a cloud in the sky in Cha-Am, brilliant sunshine, then 15 minutes later the reverse happens.
