Bangkok: When to go

Thailand is a wonderful destination all year round. To avoid the monsoonal weather which arrives between May and July and lasts into November book your flights for late November. A lower relative temperature follows until mid-February which is followed by much higher relative temperatures from March to May. It usually rains most during August and September, though floods in early October may find you in hip-deep water in certain parts of the city. An umbrella can be very useful but a big raincoat will just make things even hotter.
