Thailand weather & when to go: November

November Overview

Rain should be beginning to become a distant memory by November, especially later in the month. Humidity is now also out of the picture as temperatures remain relatively low, especially in the north (avg temp: 23 - 26°C).

For beach lovers, the best weather will be on the western side of the peninsular with the monsoon now behind us and the bright dry days returning (avg temp: 26 - 28°C). It’s a different story on the east with higher rainfall expected on Koh Samui and its neighbours (avg temp: 26°C).

(- continued:) November Overview

- At this time of year water levels are high in coastal areas. This reduces the depth of the beach with some shallow bays losing sight of the sand altogether at times.

Loy Krathong: A day when people float their Krathong (small rafts made of paper or banana leaf) down a local klong (canal) with a candle, flower and three incense sticks, helping to cast away any anger and grievances.
