Vocabulary - Seasons in Thai Language

Hello Thai learners,

There are only 3 seasons in Thailand.

Northern Thailand actually has three distinct seasons:
- from March to May (หน้าร้อน/ฤดูร้อน): a hot and dry season
- from June to October (หน้าฝน): a cooler rainy season, with rains that can be torrential in September
- from November to February (หน้าหนาว): a cool season where you can experience daytime temperatures of only 5°C in the hills and 10°C in Chiang Mai. The contrast of daytime and nighttime temperatures is regularly very high.
In the extreme south of Thailand, below Phuket, the rainy season and the dry season are well marked, which is less the case above. The weather in the southern islands also depends on which side of Thailand they are on: in the east (towards Ko Samui), the monsoon usually occurs between October and December. On the west side of the Andaman Sea, with most of the rains falling in short showers, the sun is still very generous.

The word "Season" in Thai is "nâa" (spoken language) or "réu-duu" (formal language).
