Thailand FAQs

What is the best time to visit Thailand?
Phuket is November to March - pleasant weather with lower humidity, ideal for exploring beaches, cities, and cultural sites. But if you want to get better value for money, then travel between May – October.  
However, if it’s Koh Samui you’re interested in, you can travel year around, but a Top Tip -if you aren’t a fan of the crowds avoid October- November as it’s the raining season and try to avoid local holidays like Songkran (water festival) where there is a lot of local / domestic travel.

When you should go really depends on your preference and plans. The cooler season is the most popular, the hot season is the hottest and most festive, and the rainy season is the wettest and therefore tends to be the least crowded. Talk to one of our consultants and we can create you a trip that is perfect for what you need

What are some of the best street foods to try in Thailand?
Thailand is famous for its street food culture, where you can find a variety of mouth-watering dishes at cheap prices. 
Some of the most popular, must try street foods are pad thai (stir-fried noodles), som tam (spicy green papaya salad), khao niao mamuang (sticky rice with mango), tom yum (hot and sour soup).  

What are some of the cultural dos and don'ts in Thailand?
Thailand is a country with a rich and diverse culture, and it is important to respect its traditions and customs. Some of the dos and don'ts are: 
- do greet people with a wai (a slight bow with palms pressed together), 
- do dress modestly and cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples, 
- do remove your shoes before entering a house or a temple, 
- don't touch a child’s head.   

What are some family-friendly activities in Thailand?
Depending on where you are heading there is a huge variety of activities to keep everyone entertained.  Visit the water parks, kayaking in the ocean or hire a long tail boat to a private island.  Or for something special, we recommend the Elephant Hills rainforest camp in Khao Sok National Park. Stay in luxury tented accommodation and enjoy activities like jungle treks, canoeing, and ethical elephant encounters.
