Buriram sits on Thailand’s Isaan plateau in the country’s northeast, a comparatively dry region where the monsoon season from May through October still brings the bulk of the year’s rainfall, often concentrated into intense storms.
In Thailand’s northeast, the city’s rivers respond to the Isaan plateau’s monsoon rainfall pattern, concentrated mainly from May through October. Many of the region’s towns sit near the Mekong River, which forms much of Thailand’s border with Laos, and a wet monsoon season upstream can raise the river’s level significantly, making radar useful for tracking both direct rainfall and the river’s slower seasonal rise.
