08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
July is wet and humid, with rain on about twenty days and afternoons around 33 °C, with Buddhist Lent beginning at the full moon with Asalha Bucha and Khao Phansa, when candle processions fill the temples and alcohol sales pause for two days. The King's Birthday on 28 July is a public holiday with the city decorated in yellow. Rain arrives in the afternoon in most cases.
Hotel rates are at their lowest. Canal-side neighbourhoods and the river are at their most atmospheric under heavy skies, and the Jim Thompson House and the museums are the standard wet-afternoon circuit. The Amazing Thailand Grand Sale brings mall discounts in July and August. For Mother's Day and the European holiday arrivals, see August.
