When to visit

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, but 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 photographer seeking rain-themed works, from April to September they would find what they want in Thailand - no worries, the rainfalls lasts only within 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 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.
