Thailand is warm all year, but the rainy seasons on its different coasts don't coincide. Here is where to go in each period so you don't end up with a stormy sea.
highlights
Travelers from Tashkent often choose Thailand for winter, when it’s cold at home and the dry warm season is under way there. But if your dates fall in summer or autumn, that’s no reason to give up on the trip: you just need to choose the right coast.
Roughly speaking, the year splits into a cool dry season (about November to February), a hot season (March to May) and a rainy season (about June to October). “Cool” is relative: the days are still hot, there’s just less humidity and the nights are fresher.
The best time for Phuket is November to April. The sea is calm and clear, boat trips to the islands run, and the beaches are at their best.
From May to October this is the southwest monsoon season. It doesn’t usually rain all day, but waves build up on open beaches and you can’t swim everywhere. Hotels are cheaper and there are fewer people, so this season suits those who go for the hotel, spa and food rather than boat trips.
Here the climate is shifted. On Koh Samui, summer and early autumn are often dry and sunny, and the main rains come roughly from October to December. That’s why Samui is a popular choice for summer trips, when the sea around Phuket is rough.
Pattaya is not far from Bangkok, and its weather is closer to the capital’s. The dry season runs from November to March. There is some rain in summer, but it’s usually brief. People choose Pattaya for a short trip or to combine with Bangkok.
You can go to Bangkok any time of year. Winter is the most pleasant for walking, spring is very hot, and summer and autumn bring downpours that end quickly. The city fits neatly into an itinerary for 2–3 days at the start or end of a beach trip.
The flight to Thailand is long, so it’s best to book 9–10 nights or more. If you want to combine Bangkok and the beach, plan 11–14 days. A manager will find direct and connecting flight options from Tashkent for your dates.
Humidity in Thailand is high all year, so natural-fabric clothing and sunscreen are needed in every season. Take mosquito repellent, especially during the rainy season. And be sure to get travel insurance: it’s especially important for scooter rides and boat trips.
Local holidays also affect your timing. In mid-April Thailand celebrates Songkran: people splash each other with water in the streets, and demand for hotels rises. In autumn there’s Loy Krathong, with lanterns floating on the water. Chinese New Year, which falls in January or February, also brings many tourists from neighboring countries, so book earlier than usual for those dates.
If you want to see a festival for yourself, tell the manager: we’ll find a hotel in an area where the atmosphere is livelier or, the opposite, somewhere quiet away from the noise.
With little ones it’s easier to go in the cool season, December to February, when the heat is easier to handle. Choose hotels on beaches with a gentle slope into the water and no strong waves. School-age children will enjoy boat trips to the islands, the aquarium and animal parks.

From December to March Phuket is usually dry and sunny, with a calm sea. It's the most popular period, so hotels are booked in advance.
Yes, especially if you choose a region with a different climate. Showers are often short, but on the Andaman coast there can be waves and currents in summer, so only swim where it's allowed.
In summer many people choose Koh Samui and the Gulf of Thailand islands, which are usually drier than Phuket at that time. Bangkok also works for a trip in any month.
Usually in March, April and May. In these months, plan walks for the morning and evening and rest by the pool during the day.
