Low Season
May 01 - Oct 31

The period from May to October corresponds to the rainy season. As the country is close to the equator, the effects of the monsoon are reduced even if the sea can be rough.The region enjoys a tropical wet climate with  steady and warm temperatures all over the year. During this period, it is not always raining but there are high rainfalls with overcast sky. However, this season can be a nice way to discover the island without the traditional crowds of tourists and benefiting from attractive prices.

High Season
Nov 01 - Apr 30

From November to April, it is the dry season. The month of March can be the best compromise between crowd and weather : tourists are fewer and prices are cheaper while the monsoon has not starting yet. This period provides an enjoyable climate to take advantage of the dream beaches and discover the stunning landscapes and temperatures are around 30 degrees.

Peak Season
Dec 01 - Feb 28

The period from December to February is the best one as the weather is dry, it hardly ever rains, there is a blue sky and temperatures are pleasant and not particularly too much high. However, it also corresponds to the busiest period of the year. Mainly in January and February, hordes of tourists arrive in Thailand to discover the stunning landscapes. Prices skyrocket and places are crowded.

Temple of Dawn - Wat Arun

The impressive Wat Arun temple is one of the symbols of Bangkok due to its elegance and its stunning architecture and its location on the riverside. Built after the fall of Ayutthaya Kingdom, it was the former home of the Emerald Buddha, before its transfer to the Grand Palace. The temple had been the highest building of Bangkok for a long time thanks to its pyramid of 70-meter high. Despite its buddhist orientation, the pyramid represents the Mount Meru and others pyramids dedicated to the Wind God from the Hindu religion. The facades of the temple are home to countless animal and warrior statues, decorated with floral motifs made of Chinese porcelain and shells. The temple provides a splendid view on the city at sunset.

Assumption Cathedral

The Assumption Cathedral is the most important Roman Catholic Church in Thailand and one of the striking 200-plus year old churches in Bangkok. Designed by a French architect in 1809, the cathedral is worth a visit. Aesthetically, the cathedral’s Romanesque twin towers and rectangular structure stray drastically from the styles of Bangkok’s other notable Catholic churches. It has a beautiful rich golden interior with frescoes from the Italian Renaissance and impressive stained glass windows. The church hosted a Mass by Pope John Paul II in 1984; his statue now stands outside the main door. The schools associated with the cathedral are considered some of the best in Thailand.
