Wetter, but the courses are at their greenest.
August brings more consistent rain without becoming unplayable. Morning rounds still go ahead most days. Koh Samui is the outlier and has one of its better months, because the gulf islands run on a different cycle to the mainland.

Where not to go this month: Phuket. The Andaman coast takes the worst of the southwest monsoon and is measurably wetter than the gulf side at this time of year.
Whatever the month, the same rules apply in Thailand: tee off early, drink more than you think you need, and take a cart unless you have a good reason not to. A caddie is compulsory at almost every course and will carry, read greens and keep you moving — budget ฿400 plus a tip.
In August specifically, rain is the variable, and it usually arrives in the afternoon rather than the morning, so early tee times mostly play through.
