Climate in Paksong
From May to September its much cooler in Paksong then in the rest of Laos: its every day around 23 degrees !!
Chill out in Paksong :P
Rainy seizon.
The rainy seizon starts during the 'summer' in May and ends in October. Temperature is around 23 degrees and during  rainfall the temperature can drop under the 20 degrees for a couple of minutes.

During the rainy seizon it can rain every day for a 30 minutes and in the evening its cooler then the normal Lao climate. For the most travelers its a pleasent surprise because it means that they can have a good sleep without an airconditioner or fan what the feeling gives that they are back to normal for a couple of days.
