Pick Thailand 🇹🇭 if you're going in…

January, February, November, December

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

April, May, June, July, August, September

Avoid Bali in late Dec–early Jan (rain + crowds + premium pricing).

Months where both are equally good: March, October.
