Expat Thailand:Weather Thailand.
Posted on 28 April 2009
The weather in Thailand is an important consideration for potential UK expats or indeed any expatriate from a Northern Hemisphere home. At times the tropical climate can be unforgiving and debilitating.
Weather in Thailand is clearly effected by the tropical location of the country and there are big variances between the North and South of Thailand.

More plan to arrive over the weekend with hundreds of thousands expected on Sunday. Many businesses and schools have closed in Bangkok while some companies allowed staff to work from home. Security forces guarded state buildings after government warnings of arson and bombings. Protesters say authorities are trying to fan public fears to justify a potential crackdown. The government insists the threat of violence is real and that it wants to ensure that there are enough forces in place to prevent any chaos.
