When to travel to Thailand

Thailand’s best weather is between November and February, making these months a good time to travel. The Christmas holidays are a very popular time for package tourists to travel to Thailand, so be wary of this if you want to avoid crowds. March to May brings hot and dry weather, whereas the monsoon season from June to July sees the country drenched in rain, dyeing the landscapes an alluring green. The rainy season is an enjoyable time to travel if you want to avoid tourists.

Where to go in Thailand

Culture seekers can explore the glittering palaces, gilded temples and bustling night markets of Bangkok or uncover some of Thailand’s most ancient treats at Sukhothai.

Those looking for something more adventurous can trek through the jungles and hills in the north of the country to meet the tribal villages or head to one of the islands scattered around the mainland to scuba dive or kayak in and out of the karsts piercing through the water’s surface.

In short, there’s something for everyone here. A non-stop indulgence of your dreams!…
