October marks the beginning of the monsoon season in Indonesia, but you can still plan your vacation around places that see low amounts of rainfall and have a wonderful time. If you wish to avoid the peak season tourist crowds and stretch your travel budget, this is one of the best times to visit Indonesia. The country’s tourist attractions are not as crowded, and the flights and accommodations are not as expensive if you travel to Indonesia in October.

Jordan’s weather reputation is often exaggerated. In August, for example, the country’s temperatures are very similar to other popular vacation spots such as Florida, US. But oddly enough, this month is considered part of the low season in Jordan. But let us focus on the bright side: this is the best time to explore Jordan’s wonders with few tourist crowds. Explore the ancient city of Petra and the numerous ruins and cultural wonders of Amman before cooling off in the Dead Sea. Visiting Jordan in August takes advantage of the low-season discounts and relatively crowd-free attractions. You will not regret it.

A trip to Indonesia gears you up for the peak tourist season in June, which means there is an almost unending list of potential activities and excursions on the cards. While many will be seeking out a few relaxing days on the region’s exquisite beaches, others can look forward to unrivaled diving expeditions, memorable hiking trips, and at least one major cultural festival. From beach lovers to nature lovers, cultural buffs to adventure seekers, Indonesia in June has something for everyone.

Good weather across Indonesia makes May one of the best times to visit the archipelago. And with the peak vacation period still a couple of months away, you will get to enjoy the country’s many attractions in a crowd-free environment and in your own sweet time. Learn about the fascinating island cultures; enjoy the heavenly beaches overlooking warm, inviting waters; or go on a jungle adventure to spot the elusive orangutan. Visit Indonesia and explore all there is in May.

Coming just after the end of the peak tourist season, a trip to Thailand in May offers visitors several advantages. Although this month marks the beginning of the rainy season in the country, most of the area remains dry, which means that it is still possible to cover a majority of the country’s top attractions. Flight and accommodation prices also drop during this month, as May is outside of the main travel period, creating a combination of good sightseeing weather and excellent affordability in destinations ranging from Tarutao National Park in the south to Chiang Mai in the north.
