In November, rain becomes a distant memory in much of the country, especially towards the end of the month. Humidity also disappears from the scene as temperatures remain relatively low (by Thai standards).
This is a good time of the year to travel to Thailand and visit Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and northern Thailand, as the region enjoys sunny, and predominantly dry days with pleasant temperatures are conducive to outdoor activities, although it should be noted that night temperatures in the north can be a little cold.
Central Thailand also experiences favorable weather conditions, making November a good month for sightseeing in and around Kanchanaburi.
For beach lovers, the islands of Koh Chang and Koh Kood are the best bet of the bunch in November, with very little rain and an average temperature in the region of 28°C. Hua Hin and Cha Am can also enjoy plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall this month.
Further south, Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Koh Phangan are in the midst of the rainy season, so they are best avoided in favor of Phuket, Khao Lak and Krabi in the west of the peninsula.
November brings the rainy season to a close in most of Thailand. Temperatures are moderate (by Thai standards) and there is a good selection of islands with plenty of sunshine to choose from. In Bangkok and central Thailand, locals are starting to cope with the “cold” temperatures.
Chiang Mai has good weather during the day, but, if you are trekking, remember that it gets cold at night, especially further north.
November sees more rain on the Gulf of Thailand coast, and especially on the islands. The western Andaman coast is generally the best bet this time of year.
If the date you have chosen is perhaps not the best time to visit the country, don’t worry, because we have left you information about the climate in Thailand for each month of the year, so you will know which areas are where you can move without having to pay so much attention to the sky.
Anyway, remember that it’s okay if there is some rain, it’s part of the adventure too!
