Thailand will amaze you with its ruins, temples and deserted cities, as well as for its magical islands and beaches, a pure heaven for visitors.

Thailand is easy to travel in, with efficient transport, great accommodation and a delicious national cuisine, plus, Thais are well known for their friendliness and hospitality to strangers.

The number of locations to visit is nearly limitless, and you can travel all year round with perhaps the best time to visit between November and February, when it rains least and is not too hot.

But the south can be fully enjoyed when the rest of Thailand is hot, between March and May, while the north is best from early November to mid-December and, again, from February, when it is warmer. 

Also, If you do not like crowds, the least crowded months are May, June and September.
