One of the big reasons why we enjoy traveling to Thailand is the low cost of the various events and activities. We have visited other countries where we had to choose which activity to do in order to stay within our travel budget. In Thailand, we can afford to do everything. The most frustrating thing we experience in Thailand is there are only 24 hours in a day. Have a great time visiting Thailand, which, we believe, is the best place in the world.
Best Time to Travel to Thailand
While most of the world has four seasons, Thailand has two, Hot and Dry, Hot and Wet. Like all of South-East Asia, Thailand has a raining season where it rains every day. However, the rains usually quickly comes and rain like crazy for an hour or so, then it is gone for the day.
Many days, the rain will come at about the same time – late afternoon or early evening. When it rains, it seems like it is coming in buckets. The streets flood quickly and everything is wet. If you watch the locals, they know when it will rain and they will begin to prepare for it. Less typical are the days where it will rain like cats and dogs all day and continue for a few days. When is raining season? Usually starts in June and continues through October.
The best time to travel to Thailand for the best weather and to experience most of the festivals is November through April.
