Visiting Thailand

Thailand, the Land of Smiles, is Southeast Asia's most visited country and for good reason. With its perfect blend of tropical beaches, ornate temples, incredible cuisine, and warm hospitality, Thailand is the ideal introduction to Asia. Whether this is your first Asian trip or your fiftieth, Thailand always has something new to discover.

Best Time to Visit

The cool dry season from November to February is the most comfortable and popular time to visit Thailand. March to May is the hot season with temperatures reaching 35 to 40 degrees. June to October is the rainy season with afternoon showers, but also lower prices and fewer crowds. The gulf islands (Koh Samui) have a different pattern, with their rainy season from October to December.
