Pattaya sits on Thailand’s eastern Gulf coast, where the southwest monsoon from May through October is occasionally reinforced by tropical storm remnants crossing from the South China Sea.
A major resort city on the eastern Gulf coast, Pattaya’s hillside developments can see rapid runoff into low-lying tourist areas during intense storms. The region’s mix of coastal plains and nearby hills means heavy rain can produce both river flooding and fast local runoff, and radar helps distinguish routine monsoon showers from the more intense rain bands that can overwhelm drainage.
