BEST TIME TO VISIT THAILAND
Thailand is a great place to visit year-round, but the best time to visit is during the cool and dry season between November and March. The weather during this period makes it easier to travel around the country and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and exploring national parks. But if you want to experience Songkran in April, or if you prefer fewer tourists, visiting during the hot and rainy seasons from March to October has its own benefits!
