We found the best time to visit Bangkok for your favourite activities.
Know what times to avoid for peak season, extreme heat, humidity and Thai holidays.
It's May and November.
Bangkok can be visited any time with its hot and humid temperatures consistent year-round. May and November are the shoulder months of the wet season so rain won’t impact a trip significantly as showers are often short.
Temperatures range from 23°C to 34°C with mid-high levels of humidity. May and November are considered to be in the low season, meaning less crowds and lower prices on flights and accommodation.
Even though Bangkok can be visited year-round, its claim as one of the hottest cities in the world has visitors avoiding the city streets from March to June when temperatures frequently reach above 30°C. The wet monsoon season runs from July to October. The best weather of the year is also the peak tourist season from November to February. Expect high humidity from April to October.
Best time to visit Bangkok, weather-wise: December–February are the coldest months of the year with the lowest humidity.
Cheapest time to visit Bangkok: May–October when it is hotter, humidity peaks and heavier rainfalls begin.
Phuket is affected by a monsoon season so the best time to visit is from January to March. This works well for travel in Bangkok as well when temperatures and humidity are lower. It is peak season for both Phuket and Bangkok so crowds and higher prices are expected. Early December before the Christmas festivities begin is the best time for lower prices, minimal rainfall and fewer crowds.
The peak tourist season of November–February brings the best weather for all three destinations. To avoid the crowds and higher prices travel during the shoulder season of November and late February to avoid the Christmas holidays and Chinese New Year celebrations.
