Thailand Travel Season Guide

Thailand's tourist seasons can be broadly categorized into three: the hot season, the rainy season and the cool season. Different seasons are suitable for different tourist activities and experiences.

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and is known for its many ancient temples and rich cultural heritage. The cool season is the best time to visit Bangkok with favorable temperatures, little rain and the most beautiful scenery.
Known as the "Hawaii of the East", Pattaya is famous for its beautiful beaches and abundant water activities. The best time to visit Pattaya is during the hot season, when the sun is strong and perfect for beach and water activities.
Chiang Mai is known as the "City of Roses" and is famous for its natural beauty and rich cultural activities. The best time to visit Chiang Mai is during the cool season when the temperature is favorable and the scenery is at its best.
