What’s the weather like in Thailand?

The weather in Thailand varies greatly depending on the season, and whereabouts in the country you are. November to February is often considered the best time for great weather that isn't painfully hot, but is also dry. March and April are still dry but get very hot which can be unpleasant for some visitors, especially in places like Bangkok. May to October is the rainy season, which, as it sounds, means that Thailand experiences a great deal of rain in these months. Most people would prefer to visit during the cooler and dry season where possible, though all have something to recommend them

Which is the best island to visit?

Thailand is home to some of the most beautiful and varied islands in the world. Some like Koh Tao are renowned for their snorkelling and scuba diving experiences, Koh Pha-Ngan for its Full Moon Parties and fun, and Koh Lanta for its peace, quiet, and stunning, mostly untouched, white sandy beaches. Phuket is the biggest island and has so much to offer everyone who comes to stay there. Bigger islands like Koh Samui can often have a mix of quieter places and bustling hubs, so really it is impossible to pick the very best island in Thailand. If you can, visit them all and decide for yourself

How long should you spend in Thailand?

Ideally you should aim to stay in Thailand for at least 10 days. Depending on the kind of holiday you want, exploring the local area, trying delicious new foods, or swimming in the perfect waters, this may not be enough. Most people who come to Thailand don't want to leave, and want to come back again soon. It is an excellent place to spend a longer amount of time, especially since each part, from north to south, and cities to islands, is so different. You could spend months in Thailand and never get bored, so the better question is how long can you possibly spend in Thailand?,Thailand is famous for its incredible food. Whether you prefer a classic Pad Thai, cooked right in front of you on a little cart, or a multi-course menu served at one of the fancier restaurants, you won't be disappointed in the taste. Thailand is well-known for its curries of which there are many. Red, Green, Yellow, Massaman, and Panang are just a few of the delicious options. Then you have your fried rice, spicy soups like Tom Yum Goong – really the options are endless. Give as many dishes a try as you can and decide the best for yourself.
