Where did you go in Thailand in April? You must have been unlucky!
March in Bali; take a look at the
historical weather info and you will see that March is not as bad normally as February, but it is still likely to rain a bit. The drier weather does not normally start in Bali until the end of April, beginning of May (when it gets hot and muggy and there are lots of mossies around). I think April is a beautiful time to go as it will be green and clean and there will be fewer tourists around (although that is not so much a concern these days unfortunately). Generally you will see it coming, unless it is night time, as these huge clouds so clearly head towards you; so you can work around them (wait until it starts and be ready near the coffee shop you fancy). I would not let it put you off; if necessary, lie to your husband!
