Rainy season in Thailand: Weather warning for 49 provinces
Residents in the north, northeast, central plains and southern Thailand will experience heavy rainfall in the coming week thanks to a tropical depression moving across the country Monday through Thursday.
The meteorological service says that heavy downpours will fall in the northern and northeastern provinces on Monday and Tuesday. The storm is coming from the South China Sea and slowly moving towards the northeast of Thailand. Residents living in flood-prone areas in the north and northeast should expect river overflows and landslides.
There is also a strong southwest monsoon over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Strong winds and high waves of 2-4 meters are expected in the Andaman Sea. All vessels must take extra care, while small boats must remain ashore.
In Kanchanaburi, the Vajiralongkorn dam overflowed this week due to the supply of rainwater from northern Thailand.

We leave this Sunday for 4.5 months with our 3 children to Thailand and neighboring countries.
Hopefully it won't rain a bit....
Never traveled in the rainy season…
Which regions would have less rain in the period Aug/Sept/early Oct?
Usually it is less in the north.
Chiang Mai and on to Chiang Rai, Mae Sai and Chiang Saen. But it is and remains the rainy season and therefore unpredictable.
In principle, the rainy season (April) starts in the North and then descends to the South. I know from experience that Phuket gets a lot of rain in September and October. I wouldn't argue that this is a fixed fact.
In the north, the rainy season certainly does not start in April, but, normally, in June.
We have just come from Koh Phangan, this island, together with the neighboring islands, is well known in terms of weather
August. We were disappointed, little sun and a lot of wind on the west coast. So it remains difficult to predict. Take plenty of time for the trips, boats easily fall out and you can get into a mess just your return flight.
Also avoid Khao Yai, resorts
