When to fly to Thailand
Peak Season
The best time to book trips to Northern Thailand is during thecool season (November–February). In the south, the Thailand flights and hotels are packed from March to May. Those travellers heading for a vacation in Bangkok during the peak season from November to March should book their Thailand flights and hotels early. Prices can be twice as high as in the off season, and hotels are often fully booked.
International visitors book Thailand trips to Chiang Mai December through May, and Thais vacation here March through May. November to April is Phuket’s peak season, and January to April is the best weather on Ko Samui. The island is particularly busy around Christmas and has another surge of visitors in July and August.
Off Season
The rainy and monsoon seasons are the off seasons. If you don’t mind the humid and wet weather there are deals on cheap flights to Thailandto be found.
Overview
It is easy to see why millions of travellers book airline tickets to Thailand. Prathet Thai or “land of the free” is Southeast Asia’s premiere destination. Travellers appeals to every traveller – the country is made up of natural regions including the mountainous and forested North; the rice fields of the Central Plains; the farmlands of the Northeast; and, perhaps most famously, the tropical islands and long shorelines of the South. Flights to Thailand land visitors in the most popular and capital city, Bangkok. One night in Bangkok or Chiang Mai and you’ll feed your need for energizing nightlife and scenery.
Perhaps the country’s greatest wealth is its people. Thailand is made up of Thai, Chinese, Malay and minority groups including Mons, Khmers, and hill tribes, who co-exist happily side by side. They are known for their love of family and their hospitality, and are friendly and gracious to travellers on Thailand flights. They also stage some mesmerizing festivals including the “Bun Bang Fai” Rocket Festival (May); Grand Candle Festival and International Candle Carving Competition (July) which marks the start of Buddhist Lent; and the Illuminated Boat Procession (October).
Thailand’s climate differs between the north and the south. In northern and central Thailand, it’s hot from March to May, rainy from June to October and cool from November to February. In the south it rains intermittently all year long with temperatures around 27 C. It rains every day in the rainy season. The monsoon season lasts from July to November.
Trains are comfortable, frequent, and punctual. Although slow, taking a train is a great way to see the country. Thailand’s buses are very fast, well serviced, and air conditioned. If you’re pressed for time, catch a flight. Thailand has regional airports, and convenient domestic flights are easy to find.
Transportation in a city or resort is typically a taxi, tuk-tuk, rickshaw, pickup, or hired car and driver. Taxis are usually metered in a city; make sure the meter is turned on. Always negotiate the fare for a tuk-tuk or rickshaw before you set out.
The BTS Skytrain in Bangkok is safe, clean and comfortable. It doesn’t go everywhere; taxis and tuk-tuks will make up the rest of your journey. Chiang Mai doesn’t have buses or taxis, but has lots of covered pickups (songtaos) and tuk-tuks. You can hail a songtao and their fares are reasonable. Many travellers rent motorcycles and bikes in Chiang Mai, but make sure to drive defensively.
Avoid driving in Thailand, both cars and motobikes. Thais drive on the left side of the road, usually at breakneck speeds even around blind corners, and aren’t fussy about driving laws.
