My tip for September

Only come in September if value is the priority — the rain is frequent and occasionally disruptive.

How September compares

11th of 12 overall in Bangkok, 12th for weather, 1st for space, 1st for value. It is the emptiest month of the year; and it's also the best value.

Not set on September?

One of Bangkok's driest and most comfortable months, making it excellent for temples, markets and exploring the city.

Still dry and comfortable, with excellent conditions for exploring.

Book early and plan around the busiest hours — the wettest part of the year, with frequent heavy rain and potential flooding.
