When to visit Thailand
Daily forecasts, best months and what to know before you go — places in Thailand
- Attraction / museum · Nakhon Sawan · Mueang Nakhon Sawan
Paasan (Chao Phraya River Landmark)
The landmark of the Chao Phraya River's source on the tip of Ko Yom, Nakhon Sawan, where the Ping and Nan rivers meet. Walk the curving 360° viewing walkway, see the Pak Nam Pho exhibition and watch the sunset over the water — free entry.
Best time Nov – Feb - Mountain / viewpoint · Chiang Mai · Mae Rim
Mon Jam
A mountain viewpoint about 1,350 m up in the Nong Hoi Royal Project, Mae Rim: temperate flower and vegetable fields, strawberry farms, early-morning seas of mist in the cool season, and a Hmong community that switched from opium to highland farming.
Best time Nov – Feb - Temple · Chiang Mai · Mueang Chiang Mai
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Chiang Mai's guardian temple on the summit of Doi Suthep, enshrining a relic of the Buddha in a golden chedi. Climb more than 300 naga steps to the relic terrace and a sweeping viewpoint over the city.
Best time Nov – Feb - Temple · Chiang Rai · Mueang Chiang Rai
Wat Rong Khun (White Temple)
Chalermchai Kositpipat's mirror-studded White Temple south of Chiang Rai. Cross a bridge over a sea of reaching hands to the all-white ordination hall, then see the golden building and the art gallery — northern Thailand's most famous contemporary Buddhist art.
Best time Nov – Feb - Beach / island · Krabi · Mueang Krabi
Ao Nang Beach
Krabi's Andaman beach framed by limestone cliffs — the launch point for longtail boats to Railay and the islands, a beachfront lined with restaurants and hotels, and a sunset over the sea every evening in the dry season.
Best time Dec – Mar
