The best time to go to Thailand is from November to February. The cool breeze makes the experience even more pristine. There are a few chances of rain. But this is the most popular season hence all bookings must be made in advance.

Top Experiences

Eat your bug

However, frightening as it may seem, eating an insect delicacy is a must when you are in Thailand. Just think about all the stories you get to tell once you are home. The pincer and all may seem like hard stuff, but once you ignore it, they are quite enjoyable. Their preparations are like nowhere else, and you will be licking your fingers clean for days. Food in Thailand is like a landmark of its own.

Kon Samui Flyboarding

This is the most fun activity in all of Thailand. Do not come back without doing this. Believe us, it is not a thing to miss. This is the entrance exam for becoming the future Aqua man. Who wants to give up the opportunity to become superhuman and zoom through the waters?

All of you adrenaline junkies, MLMT challenges you.

Massages

After having our backs ruined by our postures, everyone deserves at least one of these in a lifetime. Relaxation takes a different name with these massages. There are so many different types, and they all break you in the best kind of ways. Come back from Thailand with a brand-new back. These massages and spas are way more affordable and what better place than Thailand to get it?

Bathe an Elephant

We all hear about rigorous elephant treks. Let us give them some relief and treat them like the kings they are. They with their beautiful bodies and ginormous trunks have always been so underrated. Here is your opportunity to show them some love. Chiang Mai has an elephant nature park that bows down to these majestic creatures.

 

Yi Peng Lantern Festival

If at all you find yourself in Thailand during this festival make sure you land there for one of the most spectacular views you will ever see. This takes place in November and transforms the sky into an ethereal sea of light. Thousands of lanterns are floated up there, and there is an unending glow in everyone’s eyes. It is often dubbed as one of the best festivals in all of Asia.

Travel Smart with these tips

• Eat off your spoon

Every place has its own set of customs and cultural aspects that may seem weird to us, but since we are the visitors in their home, we must not only abide but also respect them. Do not eat directly off your fork as it seems incredibly rude to people here. Instead, use your fork to push food onto the spoon.

• Toilet Troubles

Another one of the quirks, Thailand does not work with lines for the loo. They usually stand in crowds. It is a sort of fight till death sort of deal. You will have to hold your own. A lot of toilets in Thailand tend to be squat toilets.

• Taxi Drivers Word

Do not always buy into the word of the taxi drivers when they say that a destination or attractions are shut for the day. They might mislead you by saying this to take you to places which might get them a commission. Also, their public transport is great so go for that.

• No April Travel

Apparently, this is not a wise time to travel to Thailand. You may seem like an easily funded option because of the airfares which are at an all-time low at this time, but it is not the best time to go. The humidity levels will have you sweating out of your pores.
