Is it a good idea to go to Thailand at the end of October? Will the rainy season be over? Thanks

Hi there,

I’ve planned a trip to Asia for the first half of November. I’ll arrive in Singapore at the start of November for about 3 days, and I’ll leave from Bangkok in mid-November.

In between, I’d like to gradually head north to visit some less touristy islands on the Thai coast.

Since the weather is a big risk during this period, I’d love to hear your recommendations.

I’m looking for: sunshine, snorkeling, beaches, nature / jungle in places that are easily accessible without too much transport to make the most of my trip.

Thanks for your tips!

Hi there, I’m planning a trip to Thailand from October 16 to 29, 2025, with my two teens. We’d love to explore Southern Thailand (for the beaches...). I’ve read that it’s the end of the rainy season—do you think it’s a bad idea or not? Also, I’m familiar with traffic in Asian countries—it’s pretty challenging. Do you think I should go through an agency for a well-defined itinerary? Or do you have any tips for hotels and getting around? Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks in advance! 😊 Mylène

Hello fellow travelers, I’m planning to go to Thailand with my two teenagers during the upcoming All Saints' Day break—that’s the second half of October—and I see it’s the bad season. Should I give up and pick another destination? Or is there a region, north or south, that I should avoid? Those of you who know this country well, could you please give me some advice? I don’t want to put my kids at risk. Otherwise, I might head to Mauritius or... I don’t know! Thanks, friends, for your help. Looking forward to reading your replies,

Hi everyone. I’m planning to spend a week in Krabi and visit the surrounding areas (Phang Nga Bay, Khao Sok, and Cheow Lan Lake) during the second half of November. What kind of weather can we expect? If you’ve got any tips for this area, that’d be really helpful. Thanks, and have a great day.

Hi there, I’m looking to travel outside Europe in September, and my first thought was to return to Thailand. Unfortunately, what I’m reading about the weather isn’t encouraging—Indonesia seems like the better option this season. Sulawesi is really tempting, but the budget is higher. Since I’ve already been to Thailand in July a few years ago (it was overcast but with little rain), this time I’d love to explore Isan and then do some volunteering at Elephant Nature Park before ending with a few days by the sea. Do you think this is a good idea, or should I postpone it? I love sunshine, even if it’s not constant, and I’ve had enough of rain and gray skies back in Belgium 😅 Thanks so much! 🙏

hi everyone I’d like to know about the climate in Southeast Asia, and specifically in Bangkok from October to December. Is it as hot and, more importantly, as humid as it is in May/June? I really struggle with humid heat. Thanks for your replies
