Hi bloggers!
This time our trip
took us to Khon Kaen, Thailand. This hot and vivacious city had a lot to offer
and so we were blown away yet again. As the weather was magnificent I’ll talk
some more about the climate and nature of Thailand.
Khon Kaen has a
tropical wet and dry climate. Temperatures are rather high and so it’s never
really cold in the city. Temperatures in the city centre are even 2 degrees
higher than those outside the city. The highest ever registered temperature is
40.8 degrees and the lowest is 9.9 degrees. Temperatures peak between March and
August. The period between November and February is the driest. After this
period the humidity level start to raise slowly and reaches a peak in the
months April and May. If you want to experience a rainy Bangkok you have to be
there between June and October as this is the rainy season.
The reason why people
walk around with masks before their mouth can also be explained by the climate.
During the dryer periods there is a lot of smog in the air that actually hangs
as a brown cloud over the city. Especially people working outside have to wear
these masks.
Thailand itself is a
very busy city with a lot of buildings but besides that there is also a lot of
nature to be found. If you leave the city centre you can discover nature parks
and mangrove forests. The city is built on the eastern shore of the river
Menam. This is the biggest and most important river in Thailand. This river is
so important because of its great trading opportunities it offers.
Thailand was a
splendid city and we had a blast! On to the next city!
