Hong Kong and Bangkok
The verdict for August
Wettest-feeling summer month
+Strong indoor entertainment
–Heavy rain and humidity
August remains hot, humid and very wet, with some of the year’s highest rainfall. Tropical-cyclone risk remains significant, so outdoor plans may need flexibility.
Wet and very quiet
+One of the quieter and more affordable periods.
–Heavy rainfall and humidity make outdoor sightseeing less predictable.
The cheapest calm month for a luxury stay.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
