Thailand Weather - When Should You Travel

Most probably the one question most frequently asked by tourists desiring to go to Thailand is: "When should we go?". Not as easy to answer as you would think, without knowing more about what your friends want to do in Thailand. There are three basic seasons that form up the Thailand weather cycle: Dry Season. Wet Season and Hot Season. But within the country the weather alters a lot from the cool north to the hot and sunny south. Lets look at what the Thailand weather is like in each season:

Hot Season:

March to June: The warmest months. April is in particular hot, almost too hot, even for the natives. Set a foot outside and you will be melting within minutes, sweat dripping from all over. Hot season is beach season. Cool off in the blue ocean and enjoy the shade of the palm trees. Trekkers may find it too hot to really enjoy.

Wet Season:

July to November: The wet season is the worst time to spend time in the Thailand weather, no matter what you are looking to do. Its humid, hot and it rains several times a day. Not just a few drips, but real monsoon style, where the heavens seem to open. But the hotels are plentiful and cheap. A good choice for backpackers on a budget.

Dry Season:

December to February: The best season to visit Thailand. The Thailand weather is almost normal here, the sky is clear of clouds and its hot, but not too hot. If you can try to go at this time.
