Pick Thailand 🇹🇭 if you're going in…

January, February, June, July, August, September, December

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

Pick Taiwan 🇹🇼 if you're going in…

March, April, October

Skip typhoon season (Aug–Sep) for the east coast — Taroko Gorge closes after heavy rain. EasyCard works on every train, bus and 7-Eleven nationwide.

Months where both are equally good: May, November.
