Probably the most common question any foreigner real in Thailand will hear from people planning to travel to the Kingdom is "When is the best time to get to Thailand" not an easy doubt to answer without experiencing "why" a person needs to come to Thailand.
There are fundamentally three seasons in Thailand (though of latterly the cold flavor seems to have gone missing), the flavours are, The Hot, The Washed and The Big. Cold being a rather subjective description though, the shots of emergency blankets being handed out in the northwest provinces when it drops to a chilly 10 degrees...that's 10 degrees Celsius. So what does each flavour offer.
The Hot
March to June : The smartest month is April when even the geckos rest inner and most expats look external at lunch time and determine to not eat rather than dissolve on the walkway to a food stall. The Hot season is beach season, if that's your thing then this is the time to come to Thailand, assured sun sun sun all day long day after day.
For Trekkers you might find this to be a tad hot to go plodding up hills unless embossed on an elephant, sun throw and drying up are high up on the list of things to mind of. Bangkok grows into a melted vat of pollution as the rolls die and the smog just hangs around dying up the oxygen. Hotels are at their most overpriced during the hot flavor and weekends will see many of the mid extend ones fully booked.
The Wet
July to November : The exchange over from hot to wet is the lightest time to be in Thailand disregarding of what you're into. It's Hot, it's wet and the humidness is ruthless. You'll be wild to take three showers a day at a minimum...living in a shower for a month might not be a bad plan. If you can imagine living in a sauna for a month then you get the right picture of Thailand at the start of the wet season...unless you're in Bangkok, then take in a sauna and pipage your car exhaust into the sauna to get the right.
