Thailand weather & when to go: February

February Overview

Chiang Mai and much of the north of Thailand are likely to be cool and dry, enjoying a refreshing breeze - perfect for visitors in need of a break from the heat further south (avg temp: 22-25°C).
Bangkok is also expecting dry conditions, although warmer than further to the north due in part to its lower altitude. Temperatures are expected to hover in the high 20’s°C throughout the month.

(- continued:) February Overview

- In the south, conditions on the peninsular and nearby islands are similar from one coast to the other, however whilst on the west you can expect little if any rain, the east will most likely be feeling the tail end of its rainy season and therefore the odd short shower is to be expected, especially early in the month. On both coasts you can expect a cooling breeze, helping to keep the temperatures more moderate than a little later in the year (avg temp: 26-29°C).
