Thailand Weather

Thailand offers one-stop tour packages for travelers of all kinds of interest, from beach lovers to temple explorers and snacks chowhounds. One of the most critical factors that have an impact on their mood must be the weather, which partially decides your itinerary and packing preparation.

Thailand Weather & Climate

Northern Thailand has a tropical climate that is split into two distinct seasons, dry and wet. The dry season runs from November to May when it rains least, and the temperature is mild. The wet season begins from June to October, when the monsoon arrives, with most downpours between September and December. The temperature may climb over 40°C within this season, and roads to the rural areas might be hard to access by transportation. In a word, Thailand's climate varies according to specific areas and latitude. If in the hope of doing a great trip, one needs to dig the exact weather report of the region he is going to visit. 

Thailand’s high season for tourists kicks off from November to March, which is the dry season everyone prefers. The second favored season to visit Thailand is July and August when hotels and flights are in great demand. 

Best Time to Visit Thailand

Generally, the dry season is the recommended time to visit Thailand, for the weather is pleasant. Although the temperature might boil up to 30°C at noon, it’s still manageable. If you want to hit the beach, visit Phuket or Samui between March and May, when the sun shines heavily, and the skies are super clear. For rain lovers or photographers seeking rain-themed works, from April to September, they would find what they want in Thailand - no worries, the rainfall lasts only half an hour, and the rest of the day is cloudless and wonderful. 

Visiting Thailand when festivals take place will be an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. Among the most popular, we think Christmas and New Year is a good time to do your Thailand tours. Malls and shops will be dressed up for the holiday, and the Thais absolutely love the blissful atmosphere. The Thai Lunar New Year is in late February or early March, with traditional outdoor parties that will impress you. The Loy Krathong (floating crown) on the full moon of the 12th in the Thai calendar is the most romantic festival, which people celebrate in the way of sending crown-shaped leaves down the river and flying lanterns into the sky for best wishes.
