Bangkok in December One of the driest months. It is the coolest month of the year, so outdoor sightseeing is at its most comfortable. The midday sun is still strong, so a hat and sunscreen help.
Days averaged 32°C and nights 23°C. Midday was for air conditioning, a cold drink or a long lunch out of the sun. Out of 31 days, an average of 1 saw rain. In 2006, December had no rain day at all; in 2018 it had 4.
28 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors.
