A pristine beach, a verdant nature park, or a city filled with culture? There are truly no limits to the possibilities! Here are our top Thailand vacation destinations for every type of traveller to help you make a decision to plan your dream vacation.

Ideal Time to Visit Thailand

The northern Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand dump moisture into Thailand during the southwest monsoon, causing the rainy season from May through October. Winter happens from November through February, and Summer occurs from March through May. 

 

During the winter, Thailand is an ideal time to visit, even when temperatures can reach a scorching 30°C during the day. During the evening, temperatures are much cooler. There are often temperatures as high as 35°C in Bangkok during the summer, but this is when most people decide to hit the beach.

 

There is no reason to go during the rainy season since it dampens all the fun; on top of that, the unpaved roads become really muddy during this season.

 

An ideal Beach Location for Relaxation

 

You're in luck if you dream of landing on a beach straight after boarding the plane! A picture-perfect villa awaits you in Thailand along miles of butter-soft sand.

 

Island escapes

You can't go wrong with Phuket or Koh Samui if you want a dreamy island getaway. Family vacations and group vacations in the latter are popular choices for families and groups of friends. 

Take a relaxing spa break in a jungle lodge or stay in a luxury hotel near the azure Andaman Sea. Open-air markets and tasty Thai food are available in numerous vibrant towns near Phuket.

There is nothing quite like a laid-back getaway on Koh Samui in the Gulf Of Thailand. Swimming and soaking up the sun are easy in its private coves. You may want to consider staying at a spa hotel like Melati Beach Resort or Bandara Resort and Spa if you want to experience the ultimate level of comfort.
