#7 of 12 months
Strong option
Still very wet and flood-prone — conditions improving slowly, but not yet safe to plan around.

November trade-offs
- ↓358mm of rain: still the second wettest month; flooding events remain common through mid-November
- ↓Typhoon tail season: storms can still make landfall in November, disrupting access to the region
- ↓An Bang Beach remains closed for most of the month — rough seas and debris from the rainy season make it unusable
February trade-offs
- ↓International visitor numbers building toward the March peak — popular tailor shops book out 2–3 days ahead
- ↓Some Tet-period closures affect restaurants and family-run tailors for 3–5 days around the holiday
- ↓Humidity at 82% means evenings are warmer than the temperature suggests
