Wind resources
Thailand has relatively low average wind speeds with most areas being of class 1-1.4 wind speed, or about 2.8–4 m/s measured at 10 m. This is because Thailand is located near the equator which has generally low wind speed.
Nevertheless, Thailand still has some areas with utilizable wind speeds of no less than class 3, that is, with no lower than 6.4 m/s annual average wind speed.[4] This is caused by the two monsoons that affect Thailand annually, the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. The Northeast Monsoon comes from the South China Sea during the period between November and March, producing strong wind in the Gulf of Thailand and the coastal area in the southern part of Thailand. The Southeast Monsoon comes from the Indian Sea between May and October, producing strong wind at the peaks of mountain ranges in the west part of upper southern and lower northern Thailand.
In general, Thai inland wind is sub-par, but there are areas with topography that helps increase wind speeds such as mountain ranges, canyons, and slopes.
For offshore wind, there are some areas with high wind speeds that are not located in forbidden area in Ban Don Gulf in Surat Thani Province, Pattani Gulf in Songkhla and Pattani Province, and the Songkhla Lake (which is actually a lagoon) in Songkhla Province
