Weather and Climate in Bangkok

Planning a trip to Bangkok? The cool and dry season, from November to February, is the most comfortable time to visit. With pleasant temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, it’s ideal for exploring Bangkok’s lively markets, stunning temples, and outdoor attractions.

The rainy season runs from June to October, with September as the rainiest month. While occasional downpours are expected, this season offers a lush cityscape, fewer tourists, and often cheaper travel options. From March to May, the heat ramps up, with temperatures soaring above 35°C. It's the ideal time to explore Bangkok’s air-conditioned malls or relax by the river.

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.

Timing Your Flight to Bangkok

Timing flights to Bangkok is easy, with direct flights available from major Australian cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. 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. For the best deals, book your flights several months in advance, particularly during peak travel times like the cool season (November to February). To find more affordable fares, consider flying midweek, as flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often cheaper.
