Land of Smiles, Spirituality and Tranquility, Thailand is famous for its pleasant and polite locals, diverse and stunning temples and of course, the beautiful white sand beaches; Thailand has been a popular tourist destination for both Indian tourists and foreigners alike.
Flight tickets are so cheap, making for a quick holiday for anyone looking to take some time off. Whether you’re going there for a spiritual retreat, wander off the beaches and experience the underwater life or are just going there for your bachelorette or a massive shopping spree, there’s a lot Thailand has to offer for backpackers, solo travellers, families, couples and even a group of friends!
Like the weather in most cities of India, Thailand’s weather varies throughout the year, with Summer, Monsoons, and Winter as its primary seasons.
The best time to visit Thailand would probably be between October to February, since it won’t be too hot and there won't be the heavy rains to ruin your beach and adventure sports experiences either.
Thailand is a fairly safe country. However, owing to its large influx of tourists, you need to be wary of a couple of travel scams and petty crimes.
