Thailand is a desired destination all-year round. High season occurs during the typical winter season, December through March, when the temperatures are most pleasant around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius). Low season travel takes place during the hottest months in the country, April and May, when temperatures spike well about 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius).
If you can take the heat during this low season, resorts all around the country offer the best deals, such as the lowest rates of the year and even free nights (i.e., 3rd night free).
The deals in Thailand are understandably tempting. If you do go during low season with the hottest months of the year, tailor your itinerary to account for staying indoors during the day while enjoying the cooler evenings outdoors.
Thailand’s tourism encourages travelers to learn about the cuisine. Many hotels offer on-site cooking classes with demonstrations and hands-on experiences. Guests learn how to make a real Pad Thai, curries, mango sticky rice, and much more.
A boat ride along the Chao Phraya River is a requisite for every traveler to Bangkok. You hire a water taxi or a massive tourist boat with loud music. Alternatively, for a luxury experience, the best five-star hotels in the city are located along the river with their own boat for guests.
Evenings are the best and ideal times to enjoy the outdoors – the heat dies down with a cooler breeze in the air. For the most exclusive al fresco dinners, head to The Peninsula Bangkok and Mandarin Oriental Bangkok
