Thailand
| Climate |
The climate varies throughout the country and it is possible to travel all year round. The optimum time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and late March. During this season, the north experiences the greatest range of temperatures: at night it can drop to zero in the mountains while from March to May it can reach 35 degrees.
In the south the climate differs between the east and west coastlines. The monsoon hits the Andaman coast from May to October meaning Krabi, Phuket and Khao Lak can receive heavy raining during these months. November through to April is better time to visit this region when you will experience hot dry days.
The east coast including the island of Koh Samui is sheltered from the worst of the monsoon rains and can also be enjoyed during the summer months.

From the mighty Mekong to the rich waters of the Andaman Sea, Thailand's waters have traditionally played an important part in the country and still widely used for transportation. An excellent way to reach the anicent capital of Ayuthaya is to take a two night cruise on board the Manohra Song, a beautiful coverted rice barge from Bangkok along the Chao Phraya River to bring these ancient temples.
