Dear Sawadee - Thank you Sooo much for reply and that link.
Now everything about seasons is more clear to us.
I'm really looking forward to live in Thailand and urgently need
to learn the language. I think you are from Thailand, do you know a good Thai-class for farang in Chonburi/Jomtien/Pattaya?
I hope you do'nt mind me asking something again, but I'm thinking and dreaming of Thailand every minute of every day
and just count down the weeks before our departure.
Thanks again, have a nice evening,
Florijntje

Dear Sawadee, thank you for reply but I think I was not good in questioning. We are going to live in Chonburi, we bought us a house there. The big move is in March. We have 4 married children who wants to spent their holidays with us and we are making a schedule now. From June upto Ocotber there is rainseason as I know, but how rainy is that season in Chonburi?
Can one expect weeks of heavy rain, or is it just some rain every now and then? We were never in Thailand during those months, so I wonder if the Children can make holiday with us
those months.
Please answer me - thank you
Florijntje

Hi, next March we are going to move to Thailand.
Now we are about to plan for our children to visit us in row at Chonburi, what exactly is the rainseason - from when to when
and how really rainy is it?
Kind regards,
Florijntje

There are a lot of expats in the Pattaya area so you won't have trouble finding classes there. I would suggest you get a good grounding in the Thai language first by exploring our free site at learningthai.com. You can also help tune your ear for free by listening to Thai music at our other site listen2thaimusic.com. Some people like to buy book and computer software courses. You will find a large selection at our own thaihypermarket.com site. We think the Thai for Beginners series is excellent. There are three books and they all come with CDs. If you have any questions about learning Thai then post them in our forums here. People are answering questions here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

We wish you happiness with your move to Thailand and hope you share your experiences with everyone on the forum.

In March, you might get a little bit of rain but not for too long and it won't spoil your holiday. The rainy season hasn't really started yet.

Hi Sawadee!! Great music from Taxi - what an idea - I listenend "kit teung chun mai wae-laa tee ter", beautiful song and the translation in English makes understanding possible for me. Yesterday I ordered the CD "Thai for beginners" from your website and I bought a log-inn in
Thaitrainer111 ( a German-made online-learning programm).
Never thought about learning by music - thank you for that
suggestion, I think that way of learning will go fast.
I'd like to become as Thai as possible though as giant western female I can do the best I can but will never get the natural elegancy and beauty as Thai women have:-) but at least I can do my very best to speak and write the language from my chosen Homeland. I plan to do my shopping at the local market every morning - if possible with a Thai friend -
and I want to learn the first beginnings of Thai cooking with
all the fresh, wonderfull available local products.
We are gonna live in a kind-of-farang-compound, I sincerely
hope some Thai women live there too to teach me what the
do's and the do'nts are in Thailand.
We, the Dutch are rather rude and clumsy compared to Asian
people and huge and giant.
I was in Inner-China this summer and the local babys all cried
when I just looked at them, the little children pointed their finger at me and laughed their ass off.
Well, as you hear a new life will begin for us and I love to
experience all those new and exciting things.
If you have some good tips for me or new idea's, please let me know.
Thank you for your help, have a nice day, kind regards,
Florijntje

I understand now. Sorry. This page will give you averages for our area which is not too far away:

Our monsoon is not as bad as down south. It won't rain all day. Typically, it will rain at the start or end of the day. If it rains hard it will only do so for a short time. Your holiday won't be spoiled. The only time it will rain during the day or all day is when there is a weather front passing through. This is not so often.
