WHEN TO GO

Thailand can be an extremely hot and humid. Its tropical climate is divided into three seasons: cool in November to February, hot in March to May, and rainy in June to October. The seasons are more extreme in the northern regions, where the dry heat can become quite intense in late spring and, from November to February, quite cold in the mountainous areas. The rainy season rarely effects travel plans, plus the downpours can be cool and refreshing.
