Thailand
Widely considered as the gateway to Southeast Asia, Thailand has been captivating outsiders for centuries. Cosmopolitan Bangkok is where most journeys begin, but head north to savor the country’s culinary center or south to islands that can only be described as ethereal. Regardless of where you visit, visitors never fail to be dazzled by Thailand’s masterpiece temples, fragrant cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and sprawling outdoor markets.

In November, Thailand experiences the transitional period between the rainy season and the cool season. The weather varies across the country, but in general, it is characterized by decreasing rainfall and cooler temperatures, making it an enjoyable time to explore various destinations. Coastal regions, such as Phuket and Koh Samui, offer pleasant temperatures for beach activities, while northern areas like Chiang Mai provide milder weather for cultural and outdoor excursions.
