🇹🇭 Bangkok vs 🇺🇸 Saint Paul

Tropical savanna — hot year-round with distinct wet and dry seasons

Bangkok is hot every month. The dry, cool season (November–February) is the premier travel window with low humidity and manageable temperatures. The monsoon (May–October) brings flooding and intense heat. March–April (pre-monsoon) is the hottest and most uncomfortable period.

Saint Paul is Minneapolis's twin city on the Mississippi River, the state capital, and home to the famous Winter Carnival celebrating rather than suffering through the extreme cold. The Mississippi River valley location means significant river fog and cold air pooling in the valley while the bluffs above stay clearer. St. Paul gets slightly colder winters than Minneapolis due to its more eastern and valley-bottom position.
