Thailand is a tropical country with temperatures going from 23 – 38 degrees relying upon which month you visit. Not only it is pretty how, weather in Thailand can be pretty humid. Try to avoid visiting during the April, which is considered to be the hottest month. The perfect time to travel is from November to February as the temperatures become fairly sane and the air isn’t crazily humid. Rainy season falls from June to October, however don’t let it affect your plans. It doesn’t rain constantly and you can get amazing deals on luxury hotel in Phuket and air tickets during this time of the year. Regardless of whether you love being sun soaked or not, wear sun cream to secure your skin and remember to stay hydrated.

Thailand is a shopping paradise, but not all shopping options entertain bargaining. If you are at Chatuchak or the floating market go ahead and bargain, but if you are shopping at a mall, you will have to pay the price in the tag. When in Thailand you will find many outdoor markets that sell craft items, clothes, food and various other things. And it’s usually accepted to bargain with venders before you buy a particular item, so don’t settle at the initial price quoted. Also be respectful when refusing the price quoted. Also watch out for sales at malls. If you prefer to shop in the comfort of an air conned mall, MBK or the Central World are certainly for you! Not only will they have amazing items at a bargain price, but also a range of different restaurants to grab a bite while shopping.

Like any other country, Thailand has its own particular principles, traditions and culture. Many in Thailand are predominately Buddhists so if you are planning to visit temples, ensure you dress properly by covering your shoulders and knees and removing your shoes before you enter, if it happens to be a working temple, which is the case in many instances, you must behave appropriately and with respect. Also try to cover up when you step out from the pool area or eave the beach, especially if you are in Phuket or Ko Tao, as majority in these islands are Muslims.
