Which periods affect travel most?
Songkran: 13-15 April
Thai New Year brings heavy domestic travel and large water festivals. Official events in Bangkok may run longer than the statutory holiday itself.
Buddhist holidays
Makha Bucha, Visakha Bucha and Asarnha Bucha change the rhythm of offices and some services. Expect ceremonies and extra activity around temples.
New Year period
Late December and New Year form another major domestic travel period. Book flights, trains and resort stays earlier than for an ordinary weekend.
Shops, transport and attractions
- Trains, buses, ferries and domestic flights may sell out faster; buy tickets ahead for the key holiday periods.
- Government offices, banks and schools generally close; private businesses set their own hours.
- Hotels and major visitor attractions often operate, sometimes with reduced hours or advance booking.
Local customs and etiquette
During Songkran protect your phone and documents, but do not assume everyone wants to be splashed. Cover shoulders and knees at temples and avoid disturbing worshippers.
How to plan your trip
- During Songkran, protect electronics, passports and documents from water.
- Reserve accommodation and key journeys earlier than usual.
- Two or three days before a visit, check the official hours of the attraction or operator.
Combine the calendar with the weather
Check the 14-day forecast, monthly climate and best time to visit Thailand.
How do we compare holiday weather?
We use daily NASA POWER data for the coordinates of the cities shown. Each trip is compared using the same calendar dates from 1981-2025. We include complete periods, including those crossing December and January. "Latest 10 years" selects the ten most recent complete periods.
Daytime temperature is the average of daily highs, and the low is the average of daily lows. Rainfall is the average total for the whole period. Wet days have at least 1 mm of rain. The dry-period percentage counts years when every day had less than 1 mm.
Holiday dates come from this country's calendar for the selected year. For moving holidays, weather history covers the dates shown in that calendar. Estimated dates are labelled beside the holiday name.
NASA POWER Daily APISources and data coverage
The 2026 calendar is based on the Bank of Thailand official schedule and covers days off relevant to travellers. Regional holidays and later special decisions may differ; 2027 awaits official publication. Calendar data checked: 13 July 2026.
