When to Go

By far the best time to visit Thailand is from December to March when the weather is kind and the beaches are at their finest. This is followed by a dry, cool period and followed by higher temperatures from March to June.

Thailand's monsoons arrive around July and last into October, the 'rainy season, and the humidity can be quite uncomfortable.
