When to travel
In summer, the temperature of Thailand might boil up to 30°C at noon, so if you want to hit the beach, the best time to visit this country is between March and May, when the sun is less dazzling. For rain lovers or photographer seeking rain-themed works, from April to September they would find what they want in Thailand. However, the rainfalls last only within half an hour and the rest of the day is cloudless and wonderful.
Visiting Thailand when festivals take place will be an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. Particularly, on some special occasions like Christmas and New Year, malls and shops will be dressed up for the holiday and the Thais love the blissful atmosphere. The Thai Lunar New Year is in late February or early March with traditional outdoor parties that will impress you. The Loy Krathong (floating crown) on the full moon of the 12th in the Thai calendar is the most romantic festival, which people celebrate in the way of sending crown-shaped leaves down the river and flying lanterns into the sky for best wishes.
