If you prefer to visit Bangkok when weather conditions are at their most pleasant, make a plan to go between late October and March (the dry season). During these six months, precipitation and humidity are at their lowest. In addition, if you visit during this time, you can enjoy a variety of events, such as Loy Krathong (November) and the Chinese New Year (January). Low season is between April and mid-October (the wet season), when precipitation and humidity rise. You may have to deal with plenty of rain, but you’ll get plenty of flight and hotel specials. Furthermore, time spent in Bangkok during this season will reward you with numerous festivals, including Songkran (April) and the International Festival of Dance and Music (September).
