Weather in Bangkok in November

A good month. November is a solid month to be in Bangkok. Highs average 30.5 °C, lows 21.7 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 2 of 12 in Bangkok. Only December scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain on 8 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 30.5 °C days and 21.7 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 19 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 36.5 °C and the coldest night fell to 13.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 27 mm — roughly 69% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 0 mm in the driest year against 104 mm in the wettest, around an average of 39 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 5.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 80%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 30.5 °C in October, 30.5 here, 30.9 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: December brings 6 days less of it, so pushing the dates later buys drier weather.

Daylight in November

Bangkok sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.5 hours in November, against a range of just 1.6 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 17.1 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Bangkok versus nearby

If Bangkok is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Lat Krabang is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain. Hua Hin is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 7 days more rain.

So: November works, with December the better month by 9 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
