This is only country in South East Asia that was never colonized by Europe, a fact that is embodied in the name Prathet Thai, literally ‘Land of the Free’. There are 1430 islands (some of them gorgeous destinations), 35000 ornate Buddhist temples, and 1500 Orchid species that grow wild in the jungles. The streets of Bangkok, once used to be intricate waterways, earning it the title of 'Venice of the East'. The food is arguably the world’s finest and giving a pair of Siamese Cats to a bride on her wedding brings her good luck. First world decency and manners come together with ancient cultures and customs in this remarkable country called Thailand.
Peak Season Description:
The weather is cool and dry after the monsoon, the beaches are sunny and packed, and the cities are booming with shopping. Over Christmas, things go into overdrive, so plan in advance. The great weather continues all over the country until February, including the hilly north (where it can get a little chilly at night).
Shoulder Season Description:
The heat begins to build up after March, so crowds lessen and hotel availability increases. April is the month of Songkran (Thai New Year) when things get busy briefly. By May the heat is on, but tourism is still alive, availing of attractive shoulder rates. June is when things start to taper off; thundershowers can be expected all over the country. Only Koh Samui continues to enjoy sunshine. October is a good shoulder month right after the rains, and just before peak season.
Low Season Description:
Rains hit every part of the country, from the beaches to the mountains and all over the interior. Koh Samui still sees some tourist traffic in July, which also disappears by August. September is the wettest month of the year. Tourism resumes mid-October onwards.
