When is the best time to visit Thailand?

If you are planning to travel to Thailand, November to February is the coolest time of year though it’s also the busiest time and most expensive in terms of flights and accommodation.

April to June is hot, dry and humid making it the least comfortable time to visit.

July to October is the rainy season though that doesn’t mean it rains all the time. Usually once a day at similar times, for a short period, but when it rains it pours!
