I understand it's the rainy season.

Does it rain every day?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling to Thailand in August raises concerns about the rainy season. While it is the rainy season, it doesn’t rain every day or all day. Rain patterns vary significantly across the country; some areas experience short, heavy downpours, while others might see less rain. The comments suggest that August can have dry spells and that rain can be quite sporadic, depending on the specific location.

Did you mean whether it was raining visas last year in August? Not that we are aware of. Maybe next year. Wait and see.

August next year?

Well, yes. Not the whole day, but you can't expect many days without rain. If you would prefer holidaying without rain, then there are better months than August.
By the way, Bali and the rest of south Indonesia have the rain and dry season reversed. Those are below the equator.

September and October are usually the wettest months .December and January are dry and it's the coolest time .Mind you ,anything below 30° is regarded as cool here .

Where in September now

Sometimes it does. Could be a short sprinkle, could be a downpour. 🌧️

Why do you ask this question? Is it related to something else you need to know? Like clothes to bring or do l need a car? Rain is here all the time depends on where you are and how you deal with it. It can rain so heavy but stop in 10 minutes. I never let rain worry me if you get wet you are dry pretty quick.just be adaptable. You may be late for meeting just sit in a coffee shop until rain stops .

ORIGINAL POSTERLet me clarify. I fully understand that August is a rainy season I get that" I don't want to visit if the weather is constantly raining.
Maybe go in September.

Come late May, monsoonal weather will usually have arrived, which is expected to last through to October. Peak rainfall levels are usually experienced between mid-September and mid-October. Outside of these months, the rain will often come in a short, heavy downpour, usually in the afternoon. Straight off the internet. But again it's a tropical climate and is unstable. It's never that bad that you cannot travel.Michael ***********

August was a couple of weeks ago.. I think you may have missed your plane.
If you asking the internet/facebook about weather a year from now... You deserve the answer you get.
I live near/on the Sea, in Pattaya. It rained maybe 3 or 4 times during the whole month of August (I have no idea what it will do next year). However, it's rained considerably more near by, and there have been very few sunny days.

Thailand is a big country. Your question is sort of like asking if it rains in the US every day (not to scale, but you get the reference).
Different areas of Thailand usually have recurring weather patterns. For some areas August may be a relatively dry month. For others relatively wet.
Most times it doesn’t rain all the time, every day, but it can if there is a weather system happening somewhere in SE Asia.
