When to travel Thailand to save more
To get the best bang for your baht, consider traveling to Thailand during the shoulder seasons—May to early October and late February to April. These months avoid the peak tourist rush while still offering warm temperatures and mostly dry days, especially in northern and central regions. Coastal areas like Krabi or Koh Samui can also be surprisingly pleasant during these off-peak windows. You’ll enjoy lower prices on accommodation, flights, and tours without sacrificing the overall experience. To plan your ideal escape, check out the best time to visit Thailand.
