When
to travel to Thailand
The best time of year (with the most comfortable climate)
for visiting most of Thailand falls between November
and March - during these months it rains the least and
is not too hot. Remember that the temperatures are less
dramatic in the south, so the south makes a good refuge
when the rest of Thailand is miserably hot (April to
June).
The North is best from mid-November to December or in
February when it begins warming up again. If you're spending
time in Bangkok, be prepared to roast in April and do
some flood-water wading in October - these are probably
the worst two months to visit the Capital.
The peak months for tourism are August, November, December,
February and March, with secondary peak months in January
and July. You should consider travelling during the least
crowded months (April, May, June, September and October)
if your main objective is to avoid holiday makers and
to take advantage of discounted rooms and other low-season
rates. On the other hand it's not difficult to leave
the crowds behind, even during the peak months, if you
simply avoid some of the most popular destinations (eg.
Chiang Mai and all islands and beaches).

tropical zone means that the number of daylight hours
varies little throughout the year |
