Thailand in November

November to February is undoubtedly the best time to visit Thailand, hot and mainly dry, though northern areas can become cool in the evening with lows of around 15 ºC (59 ºF).  The islands in the Gulf of Thailand - Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao - are at their best at this time. Each of the islands have a different character, and you can chose depending on your wish, whether it is diving, sunbathing, family-fun or nightlife, the Thai islands offer something for everyone.  January is dry and one of the best moths to visit the stunning Khao Sok National Park to explore the rainforest and see with the resident Asian elephants. Chiang Mai and the charming town of Pai, in Thailand's north, have a cooler, some say more pleasant, climate than Bangkok and the south. Go from December to February for lovely sunny days of around 29ºC (84 ºF) and cooler evenings when the temperature dips to 13ºC (55ºF) - and even lower in the highlands, so a few warm clothes are recommended if you're trekking.

Recommended Festivals For Thailand in November

Monkey Buffet

November

If anybody has ever visited or traveled through Lopburi, just north Bangkok, they’ll have noticed one rather peculiar thing about this town: its abundance of monkeys! As an act of appreciation, one day in November sees over 6,600 pounds of fruit, veg and sweets being donated for the primates to well and truly gorge themselves on.

Location Lopburi, Thailand

Loy Krathong

November

Loy Krathong (floating decoration) is undoubtedly the prettiest festival in the Thai calendar. On the full moon of the 12th lunar month, locals flock to the river to release their homemade floats, containing flowers and candles. Over the surrounding three or four days, the night skies are brilliantly lit by lanterns and fireworks.

Location Countrywide, Thailand
