Pick France 🇫🇷 if you're going in…

April, May, June, July, August, September, October

Many Parisians leave in August — some restaurants close, but the city feels calmer.

Pick Thailand 🇹🇭 if you're going in…

January, February, November, December

If you visit in monsoon season, switch coasts instead of staying home.

Months where both are equally good: March.
