Best Time to Visit Bangkok

The best time to visit Bangkok is during the cool and dry season, from November to February, when temperatures average around 25°C to 30°C. This is perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the city’s outdoor highlights.

For a quieter experience, consider travelling during the rainy season (June to October). Though there are occasional downpours, the city’s greenery thrives, and tourist spots are less crowded. If you’re a fan of warmer weather, visit between March and May when Bangkok’s indoor attractions provide a welcome escape from the heat.

Leading airlines such as Thai Airways, Qantas, and Singapore Airlines offer regular service with convenient layovers in hubs like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Hong Kong.

Bangkok is a year-round destination, but flight prices can vary depending on the season.
