WEATHER

Thailand is warm all year but for the best weather, the best time ti visit is between November and March. If you are there in April, the Songkran festival is not to be missed. At Xplorist we have lived and travelled during the wet season (May-Oct) and it has its own perks.

SAFETY

SAFETY

Thailand is one of he most travelled countries on the planet and has a well-set-up travel industry and is generally very safe. However if you check your home country’s travel advisories then you will probably see a warning issued with a high level of risk noted for Thailand. At Xpolorist we are well-healed travellers and quite often the situation on the ground is much different. Ultimately a traveller must do their own research and be smart but not scared. There are good and bad people everywhere but socio-economic pressures and changing political landscapes in countries can change things quickly.
