When to visit Bangkok
To avoid the probability of rain and to make the most of the most comfortable temperatures, we think the best time of year to visit Bangkok - and Thailand as a whole - is between November and April. Bear in mind, though, that as this is the most popular time to visit, you'll find prices are higher and availability is lower.
