WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT THAILAND?

The best time to visit Thailand varies by region and because of this it works as a fantastic year round destination.

November to March is the perfect time to visit Bangkok, the north and western beaches such as Phuket or Krabi when the weather is dry and warm.

Thailand’s rainy season is generally between July and October. However, this is a great time to visit eastern beaches such as Koh Samui or Koh Phangan which are driest from January to September.

For more information take a look at our guide to the best time to visit Thailand.

Chiang Mai is a city full of suprises. It makes a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Check out the night bazzar here but also make sure you do a trip into the jungle to experience the local culture.

Surrounded by beautiful beaches at the front and the stunning Khao Sok rainforest behind, Khao Lak is everything you imagine when you think of a Thailand island getaway. Quieter than the typical holiday retreat of Phuket, Khao Lak is that perfect location to experience Thai bliss at its finest.

Bangkok offers everything you need for a city break - impressive cultural sights, glitzy shopping malls, and lively restaurants with delicious food. Don't let the heavy traffic put you off - the public transport is super efficient and a fun way to whizz around the city.
