Pattaya in March

The heat starts to build. Rain is still light, but walking long in the sun at midday is hard. The Pattaya International Music Festival is held on Friday and Saturday nights in March. Venues and dates change each year, so check separately.

March brought serious heat to Pattaya, 32°C on a typical afternoon and 26°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. Rain fell on only 3 days on average. March could skip rain entirely: 1 of 20 years had none, while 2011 had 8 rain days.

Highs topped 30°C on 29 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense.
