To think about when to go on holiday in Thailand you need to know a little better about the seasons and climate. The best time to visit Thailand is between the months of November and February, as during this time the temperatures are cooler.
Thailand's climate is tropical, hot, and humid, as it is dominated by monsoons. This country is characterized by two seasons, as it has a rainy summer between May and October and a dry winter between November and April. The hottest months of the year are the months between March and May. The North and Northeast of the country are, as a rule, cooler than the rest of the country.
Thailand's culture is heavily influenced by religious beliefs, which merge with indigenous knowledge and roots, just as there is an immense mix of ethnic groups from Europe, the USA, India, China, and Cambodia. It was during the Sukhothai Period that the Thais were in a posture of cultural receptivity when they received many cultural elements from the emigrant communities. The religions present here are based mainly on Animism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The official language is Thai, whose language is a member of the Tai language group of the Kradai language and which is “communicable” with the neighboring people - Laos. Thai food is one of the strengths of the country, as you can taste sweet, spicy, acidic, and savory flavors in the same dish, with the help of herbs, spices, and fruits. Some of the interesting facts about Thailand and one of the fundamental rules is never to point a finger at a person, or touch someone's head, as it is considered rude and unwelcome.
