So once again another request for a prediction of a windy place in Mar to May.
I am going to be in a mix of Thailand and Phhilipines from the end of March onwards.
I have found this on Thailand but it all seems too good to be true!

Yes I am a sceptic!
All the winds seems to be a bit on the light side sub 16 knot
It seems Hua Hin may be the one for the best chance of wind.
Anyone have any experience with Thailand or Philipines at that time of year?
Thanks guys

Awesome Dave
Thanks heaps
Just out of interest how much of that is from personal experience as that is a lot of places to have kited at!
. I hate La nina.
Wow I hope it's accurate for Phuket in June / July I am heading there for a wedding for 10 days, sitting by a pool is not my scene, but kite surfing......
Hey Wishy, thats got nothing to do with the amount you've been kiting!
you go to lay off all the chicken hormones.
Having lived there recently for a few years, I'd say Cape Town best avoided in December simply due to the fact it's holiday season, and the place get's VERY busy- accoms are harder to find and more $$$. Surem the wind is lekker pumping, but it generally is November thru til March.
February would be my pick to go...
I would remove Ibiza Spain from that list. Maybe OK for the Windsurfers, but not kiting... I think it's pretty much banned across the island.
Happypants,
You're in between seasons in Asia from March to May. I would never call Thailand a 'kite destination' as the wind is crap on average (Although I've had some awsome sessions there), but at that time of year Hua Hin / Pranburi get some thermal wind.
Burls
I reckon May would be getting close to it for FNQ . I head up in June/July but you'll have to head further north than Cairns for the consistant winds.
South Padre Island is coming into the windy/warm season right now for April/ May, if anyone is traveling to the US. Consistent wind, flat water, and waves.
