Pattaya in April

One of the hotter months. Songkran runs from the 13th to the 15th, and Pattaya keeps the water festival going for several more days under the name Wan Lai. The closing events fall around the 18th and 19th, near Na Kluea.

Days averaged 33°C and nights 27°C. Midday was for air conditioning, a cold drink or a long lunch out of the sun. Showers came now and then, about 5 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. April was bone dry in 2 of 20 years, yet 2009 brought 10 rain days.

29 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors.
