My advice

What the numbers don't say about Hua Hin

Hua Hin is one of the driest places on the Gulf coast: only October is really wet. That makes it a good choice in July and August, when the Andaman coast is rainy. From November to February the sea breeze keeps the heat pleasant, and the wind is perfect for kitesurfing.
