Bangkok Travel Advice

Best time to go to Bangkok

Bangkok has a tropical monsoon climate, feeling hot and humid throughout the year. December and January are the coolest and driest months, with little to no rainfall and temperatures in the low twenties, creeping into the thirties. The best time to visit Bangkok is between November and February, when you can enjoy warm temperatures in the mid-twenties to thirties, ideal for sightseeing. If you want to see a Bangkok festival, then go in April for the Thai New Year or November for Loy Krathong – the festival of lights.
