South East Asia Travel Files: Thailand Spotlight

Imagine, the South East Asia bug finally sneaking into your living room. It has already done several rounds at my place. Consider visiting Thailand. Going on a vacation to Thailand is not a fancy anymore. With cheap web fares at travel sites like CheapOair, Kayak, Cheapflights and others, we can easily hook up a good deal.

But the question remains. When to visit? Is there a best time? There might be some difference of opinions, but the finally it's your call, meaning your interests decides the season. Usually, Thailand experiences three main seasons- the hot and humid, the wet and the cold.

If you're into trekking, you'll most definitely want to avoid the period from March to June, i.e the hot season. This is also the time when hotel rates soar sky high.

If you want to save money, travel during the wet season, i.e July to November. The heat and humidity is ruthless, which is enough reason why hotels are empty and price drop is the order of the day. You don't mind taking five showers a day to save extra bucks. do you?

The cold season? Like everywhere else, in Thailand too, winter sneaks in December and lasts until February. Hell freezes over around this time. This is only Thailand! There's plenty of snowfall and ice-skating is what you'll be doing all day. Be sure to pack your winter jackets, boots, gloves and scarves. I just bought a halloween scarve, which I'm planning to use in Thailand this winter!
