The climate in Thailand is humid and hot throughout the year. The average temperature is about 37º C in the daytime and in the nighttime about 25º C.

There are 3 seasons in Thailand:

1.  Hot season: March-May about 35-40º C.

2.  Rainy season: June-October about 30-35º C.

3.  Cool season: November- February about    27-32º C.

You should dress very comfortably because the weather is hot. Light, cool clothes are recommended. However, you may need a jacket when you are in an air-conditioned room such as in a hotel or a meeting room.

When visiting temples or important royal places such as the Grand Palace or government offices, please dress appropriately.  Women should wear a long skirt or trousers with a top that covers their arms. Men should wear trousers and also a long sleeved top. It’s considered impolite to wear shorts, mini skirts, or any other clothing that exposes too much flesh on the arms or legs.

Footwear is important, too. If you’re going inside a temple, then you’ll have to take your shoes off. Outside the temple, it’s best if both men and women wear closed foot shoes, rather than open-toed sandals.
