Field notes
There's no actual cool season — it's hot, hotter (April), and slightly less hot. Cool-dry runs November through February (28°C with lower humidity), the only window most nomads find genuinely comfortable. April is the worst month: peak heat plus pre-monsoon stagnation. May–October is monsoon — daily afternoon storms but mornings often workable.
Cost of living in Bangkok: ~$1,430/mo
