BANGKOK, May 18 (TNA) – Rainy season starts officially next Monday in Thailand, but there will be lesser rain than last year, said a senior officer of Meteorological Department.
Deputy director-general for Operations of the Department said Thailand would embark on wet season next Monday and it would start in the South first.
