Yeah. Hotels are cheaper. The monsoons are often overstated in how bad they are. You'll get some sporadic heavy rain, but if you just plan for that and head into a cafe or something until it's over, you're fine.

Just don't go to any small islands because rough waves can make riding boats impossible and flights are often canceled due to wind and random heavy storms. I went to a tiny island right at the tail end of the rainy season, and the two weeks prior to my arrival had people stranded on the island because no transport was operating in or out of the island. My flight in was also pretty terrifying due to the rough winds and it being a tiny 15 person plane.

>>2910618
Are the small islands worth delaying the trip for? Trying to grasp what I should expect.

>>2910621
Depends on how much you want to visit them. If you'd never even thought about visiting them until now, then just forget about the islands and go. If you'd been planning to visit them, then yeah, it'd be good to delay it or at least look up info on specific islands. Some islands completely cancel boat services during the rainy months. Some aren't affected too much.

Also, there's not one total monsoon season. Malaysia for example has monsoons at different times depending on whether you're on the east or west of the peninsula, then Borneo also has its own thing.

South east asia is not worth visting. Its all dirty poor people

>>2910614
Sure, why not? My favorite trip to Thailand was during the rainy season. The only minor downside was that I got drenched three or four times while walking around. Storms showed up suddenly and ended quickly, it wasn't like they were constant.

this. and it's not even cheap.

Please use the correct map showing India's real borders in your photo next time.

Rain season is a meme. All it means is that instead of having 1 rainy day a month, you'll have 15, which to the tropical SEA monkeys is a big deal. If you're a britbong or from Seattle or something it's basically business as usual, if not underwhelming.
Rain is also highly "localized" meaning it rains in the afternoon for an hour or two and then that's it. Where I'm from if it rains, it could very well rain for 3 days straight 24/7, so again depending on where you're from, it's not a big deal at all.

Yeah, no. In the PNW yeah, it rains a lot for 6-7 months, but it’s mostly just grey and dreary and you hardly ever get the seriously pounding rain and thunderstorms like in SE Asia. At least they usually don’t last long. It’s true though that the overall gloom in the PNW is far worse.

It's 2026 anon. Hardly anywhere is cheap anymore, the whole world is on an inflationary growth tangent forcing everybody to work harder and make more money if they don't want to fall behind.

Peak rainy season sees half of London's annual precipitation fall in a single month. Just because it was relatively dry when you visited doesn't mean it is always like that during rainy season. A few weeks ago some PH and Bangkok anons were complaining about being stuck inside for days on end because the rain wouldn't quit and the streets were all flooded.

>Peak rainy season sees half of London's annual precipitation fall in a single month.
That's a retarded way to look at things. Nobody gives a shit how many millimeters of rain fall during any given rain bout, what makes a place feel rainy is how many rainy days there are and SEA during the monsoon season is on par with places like Western European during the fall and winter (slightly less rainy even).
>Just because it was relatively dry
Lack of reading comprehension. I never implied it was dry, quite the opposite.
>days on end because the rain wouldn't quit and
I literally said in my post how that's a normal thing where I'm from and in many other places. On average, there's more rainy days in October in many European places than there are in Thailand, for example. Subjectively, it's basically exactly the same.The point is that people make it seem like the there's non stop rains 24/7 and the entire country floods, when in reality you should just think of it like a normal November month back home.

Incel doomerism. Get ur passport loser

>>2914888
trips of truth
monsoon rains barely last more than an hour in many places unless it smashes down with flood level rains
its a meme and not worth caring about
you'll see moto riders stop under a bridge and wait it out, they literally have dedicated zones for that, it's that quick
the sky opens up and then its gone while you look at your phone for a bit

to continue: its fucked coming back to higher latitudes and it rains all day, or mltiple days, this is way worse to deal with

>>2914982
Nigger by November 1st I'll have visited every continent apart from Africa and Australia in a single year. I speak from current lived experience and sex-haver or not, I know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Sandals, shorts and a rain poncho. That's all you need. Getting wet is no big deal.

you were a retard on 4 different continents. congrats.

>specifically Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia
When is Cambodia ever going to be the preferred place to go? Thailand is the typical choice, and Vietnam is the cheaper Thailand from what I hear.

I don't hear good things about Cambodia

>>2915588
Never, that place is cursed. Read the history. 50 short years ago people were forced at gunpoint to murder their friends and family and shit. That means all of the people today are children or grandchildren of psychos who have PTSD. The rates of mental illness and dysfunction there are off the charts, even for third world standards. It will take generations for them to be back to normal.

normal people have a range of interests and travel to go and see interesting stuff, anon
not everyone is a desperate sex pest

PTSD is white fragility. Bunch of "disabled" fat mutt vets collecting gibs because one time they had to do something tough. Boo hoo.

Vietnam went from 2000 years of hostility toward outsiders to "welcome everybody and their money" just like that.
>>2914997
Light rain like Europe you just bring an umbrella. If it's cool your body heat will evaporate moisture and keep you dry-ish.

I've spent considerable amount of time in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia
Just bought my ticket for Cambodia in January. Has anyone had any luck getting the E type visa on landing at the airport and then extending the business visa for a year?

>>2910614
Do you want a bitch social media pretty instagram vacation or to genuinely travel?

Rain is just a little water. What's the big deal? It's fun running to cover when it begins pouring in SE Asia. It's fun. Why are people so averse to water?

>>2915588
Getting a sak yant tattoo in Thailand I had some backpacker show up while I was getting it talking to my translator guy.

He was talking about how every street corner he walked down, he kept getting guys bringing him brochures of young children, like age 12-13, they were offering for sex.

At least in Thailand they take the 18 year old farm girls and bring them in for the sex tourists. Cambodia sounds like a total shithole. And they have a perpetual inferiority complex to the Thais.

>>2917030
How much is the year long Cambodian visa?

The loose sidewalk tiles that squirt dirty water up your pants leg when you step on them are pretty annoying. The shittier parts of Southeast Asia have a lot of bare dirt which turns to mud after a downpour. Now you made a mess of your shoes. Huge puddles are also a pain if you are wearing sneakers.

How did he know they weren't charity scammers soliciting donations to "help the children"? They are a common sight in India.
