Hi,

I will visit Thailand in a month and I wonder if there are still floods as I read and where are the areas I should not go. Or maybe there will be no floods next month ?

Thank you

Basically the driest and coolest time to visit anywhere in the country is from December to February. Floods next month in Bangkok for sure as well as possibly down south (Phuket). Chiang Mai getting drier at this time.

Climate

Thailand's climate is tropical, high both in temperature and humidity, and dominated by monsoons. April and May are the hottest months of the year, when even the locals are moved to complain about the heat. June sees the beginning of the South West Monsoon, and brings with it the rainy season, which continues intermittently until the end of October.

From November to the end of February the climate is much less trying with a cooling North East breeze and a reduction in the humidity level. This is also the main tourist season, and the best time to visit Thailand.

The north and north-east are generally cooler than Bangkok in winter, and hotter in summer. In the far north, around Mae Hong Son temperatures can occasionally drop as low as 2oC.
