Also referred to as the “Land of Smiles”, Thailand is a dream destination for travellers seeking adventure and relaxation. Summer in Thailand spans June to August and is characterised by long, hot days with temperatures ranging between 30°C and 40°C (86°F and 104°F). Some areas may be more humid than others, especially around the afternoons. Hence, the classic Thai siesta! But there’s plenty to do in the mornings and evenings.
List of things to do during summer in Thailand
Despite the heat, the summer season in Thailand is quite popular with tourists. Here are a few things you can do when visiting Thailand in summer.
The waters around Koh Tao are brimming with colourful corals and marine life. This is the perfect opportunity to learn how to scuba dive, snorkel and explore the underwater world.
- Join the festival celebrations
Thailand celebrates Phi Ta Khon and Boon Bang Fai in the summer. These festivals are a unique combination of traditional rituals and a fun, party atmosphere.
- Visit the Khao Yai National Park
Thailand’s third-largest national park has everything from dense jungles teeming with wildlife to stunning waterfalls. The Lam Ta Khong campground is a good spot to set up camp if you enjoy a day outdoors.
The Fantasea shows are one of Thailand’s family-friendly holiday highlights. The performance is a beautiful showcase of Thai culture. After the show, take the opportunity to explore the various attractions and activities within the theme park.
Conclusion
Apart from these activities, ensure you have time for the beaches and Bangkok’s malls. Many tourists even bring empty suitcases to carry back all they have shopped for. The easy connectivity and visa-free access are why Bangkok is a popular holiday destination for Indian tourists.
When you buy your tickets, ensure you also get travel insurance. While a travel insurance policy isn’t mandatory, you shouldn’t overlook it. International travel insurance covers everything from cancelled flights and lost luggage to medication and hospitalisation.
