Kiteboarding Thailand in Oct - Wasting my time?

Postby SteveCornell » Tue Sep 09, 2008 12:02 pm

Hi everyone.

I am passing through Thailand early Oct on my way home from Europe. I was hoping to spend some time having kiteboarding lessons but it seems I have picked a bad time. Can anyone tell me if October is a complete waste of time, and if not, where would I have the best chance of getting some wind?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

i've been more and more disappointed with Thailand over the years, seems the wind patterns are changing there and becoming less reliable/strong. seriously recommended Vietnam- mui ne over Thailand.
