Fiance and I going to Thailand? Bangkok and Phuket?

What are the nicest places to stay in both places? Is May a good time of year to go? Is there good snorkeling there? Any advice or recommendations?


The best months to travel through Thailand are December and January. Second best are November and February. These months are not very hot but still sunny.

From roughly March till May, it is the hot season, when temperatures can soar into the 40°C in central Thailand (Bangkok), Not the best time of year to go walking around.

From roughly May till October, it is the rainy season. It is quite unpredictable when it is going to rain though, and there are sometimes episodes of up to two months during this period, when there is no rain fall. Other years, rain falls more consistently almost every week.

So if you consider to make a trip in May, it's better in the beginning of May.

You should visit Royal palace and temples in Bangkok, cruise along ChaoPraYa River, having romantic candle lid dinner. If you have time, relax yourself with famous Thai massage or Thai spa, there are lovely lover/honeymoon packages

For Phuket, there are only two seasons in a year - the rainy season (May to October) and the hot season (November to April). December to April is the main tourist season with good weather. The low season of phuket is between September and October as they are the wettest months. Average temperatures ranges between 23°C - 33°C.

Around Similan is a very great place for diving, they boast 25-world class divig sites. Check for more information at http://phuket.sawadee.com/diving.htm

The accomendation in Thailand is not expensive, OK, it's cheap, you can pay 20Euro for a very nice room.

You guys will have a great time.

Bangkok - Just feel free to wander the streets and check out the markets and stalls (remember that everything is fake but generally good quality).

Pass through Chinatown with its narrow alleyways and shops selling precious gold. See the Royal Parks and the extravagant Wat Po, the oldest temple in Bangkok. Try Wat Suthat, housing a 14th century Buddha statue and exquisite mural paintings.

Check out Pattaya Beach which is a great spot. You may even want to spend a few nights there.

Also have a look at Pat Pong for some very unique nightlife.

Phuket - Watch elephants at the Elephant Camp, explore the unique and breathtaking Phang Nga National Park or just play on one of the island’s beaches.

Go to Phi Phi Island for snorkeling and see if you can get a speedboat to Maya Bay, where the movie “The Beach” was filmed.

During the month of May, it will rain an average of 25 days making it one of the wettest months of the year. In Phuket, it is not bad because it is usually just an afternoon shower.

Have fun.
