Great series in Thailand so far! However I did miss a proper explanation of the seasons which can impact the experience greatly. Right now is the absolute best time of year for Thailand: The cool and dry season, roughly from december untill march, depending on the region in the country. After that it really starts to warm up. In summer time its extremely hot and getting more and more humid, so quite uncomfortable. In the autumn the monsoon arrives with tropical storms and heavy rain. Its still quite hot so the place basically turns into a giant sauna. Just something to consider when planning a trip to Thailand.

It’s the best time of year weather-wise for sure, but also by far the most touristy. My personal favorite times in Thailand are either just before, or just after winter. Like November and March are great months to visit. The weather is still beautiful, and the crowds are gone. Honestly, anytime in Thailand is pretty nice though. Even during the summer rainy season it’s usually only a brief intense downpour in the evening. Most of the days are still sunny. It can be oppressively hot and humid though.

Gabe, it may be the actual year, not time of the year for the cicadas. There are different broods for when they emerge and start singing. For example, in my area the 17 year brood are the loudest and most prolific.

Do they have power and Internet over on the main beach where you're staying? When I was there in 2014 they only had generator power after dark until around midnight. Ahh, the good ol days. And I stayed a few nights at this hippie place built on the cliff for $5 a night. They had a live eagle there too and when the tide came up you were trapped there.

What do you mean by excessive, in terms of heat or crowds? I'm actually not sure on either one since I haven't been there during that time. But I think it's the rainier season as well as low season. Temperatures are probably similar to now, hot and humid but more rain and maybe less people.
