When to travel to Thailand

The monsoons in Thailand are between July to November. During that period there might be lots of rain, which might make the traveling more difficult. Nevertheless during the wet season there are many days that the sun shines.

The dry season splits to the cooler season during November? February and to the hotter season during March? June.

Of course the most convenient season to travel in Thailand is during the dry and cool season but it is definitely feasible to travel also during the other two seasons. The fact that the Thailand?s roadbeds are relatively in good condition, enables a tour also during the rain season.

A tour during the rain season and the hot season enables to travel at low costs, but on the other hand the traveling might be more difficult (hot / wet).
