Travelling All Year Round.
        During the rainy season (July, August, September and October) you can soak up the local atmosphere. Soak up the vibrant greens around you and absorb the fresh cold air with some rain. Don't be put off; the rainy season is just as good as the winter sun. Buddhists strictly observe their beliefs (precepts) on Buddhist holy days. Some stay at the temples over night as a monk. Farmers are busy, working their rice paddies on both the low and high lands.

The rainy season is excellent for those who love adventure, exploring and nature. It is also quieter since there are fewer tourists, allowing you to experience untouched Thailand and is also a very good time to relax! At night the temperatures remain delightfully cool.

The winter months of November, December, January and February are the most popular for a Thai holiday. Northern Thailand is filled with both Thai tourists and visitors from overseas. This time of year there are no limits to what you can see and do. The paddy fields turn Thailand into the Golden Land and you will see farmers harvesting their rice. December and January are a busy time for them and seeing them at work is a common sight. After their harvesting rice, many ceremonies take place until summer and it is a good time for them to enjoy their life after all their hard work during the previous months.

Summer is hot in most parts of Thailand, but in the North, it is cooler. That's why Northern Thailand never sleeps. There are many national parks with breathtaking waterfalls to release the heat. At night, the sky is clear and filled with stars. (March, April, May, June)
