Thailand is famous predominantly for its wide stretches of pristine beaches. Whilst many such as Railay Beach are recognized for their nightlife, there are calmer, family-friendly resorts too. Additionally, Thailand is known for celebrating countless festivals, including ancient arts and traditional foods.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Khao Yai National Park is Thailand’s oldest and most visited national park established in 1962. It covers more than 2,100 square kilometers. The park boasts a lush green landscape, rugged mountains with thick forests, marvellous waterfalls, exotic species of birds Famed Beaches. Thailand is home to over 1,400 islands, some untouched according to Exotic Voyages, and each of them offering different natural features.
The best time to visit Thailand is during the cool and dry season between November and early April, when temperatures range from 29°C to 34°C. However, the climate varies throughout the country and you can visit all year round. In the south, the climate differs between the eastern and western coasts.
Part of Thailand’s appeal is its warm temperatures throughout the year, but its weather is dramatically characterised by two monsoon seasons. As a result Thailand’s weather tends to be defined by three seasons: the wet season (May to October), the cool season (November to February) and the hot season (March to May)
Rainy Season (May to October): The cheapest time to visit Thailand is during the rainy season, which varies slightly by region. The southwest monsoon brings heavy rainfall to the Andaman Sea coast (e.g., Phuket, Krabi) and the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand (e.g., Koh Samui, Koh Phangan) from May to October
