What June feels like in Bangkok
June falls in Bangkok's wet season — the rainfall numbers rise clearly above the dry months. Afternoons are hot, so sightseeing works best in the morning or evening. Evenings ease the heat only slightly, and nights remain very warm. The air is muggy, so it feels hotter than the thermometer suggests.
