The most-talked about celebration takes place in the northern province of Chiang Mai where Songkran is celebrated from April 13 to 15. Songkran is a Thai traditional New Year which starts on April 13 every year and lasts for 3 days. The Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Everyone gets soaking wet and since it is the hottest season of the year, the custom is quite refreshing. Songkran is a Public Spring Cleaning Day, supported by the religious belief that anything old and useless must be thrown away or it will bring bad luck to the owner.
Don't worry most of Thai guides do communicate in English and they have one to one tour guide service.
Now is the time.
hey there.. thailand is usually hot all around the year... but since it's in the southern hemisphere the climate will work in the opposite way... the seasons will be the other way around so if u go on summer(canadian summer) it will be winter in Thailand.. but still I've been there and it's a grwat place... the only thing is that it's a little bit humid... I went there in February and it was winter in my country but it was so sunny and beautiful there... so it was a wonderful place to get some tan and discover a lot of places and a totally interesting culture... hope these sites help... have fun!!! :o)
let see if u like winter come in demeber. if u like summer come rigth away it is verey hot
how about in october.
It is an eternal question. If you go to Thailand for a first time, it will be difficult to leave the tourists atmosphere. I have rented several times a car and toured through Thailand with a few people I met on the net (ICQ, but be careful) If they speak good english they are much better than any so called "qualified" guides, who only think about their fee and the commission they will get on almost any money you spend. They will bring you to big restaurants and hotels with these boring breakfast buffets where you will pay 300 b. (price in a good guesthouse for a giant breakfast : 120b). Official guides is one of the few things I do not like in Thailand.
if you team up with farangs living in the North, maybe you can find somebody who wants to do the Mae Hong Son loop from Chiang Mai. It is fresher there, most of the loop is hilly. In the winter it is sometimes cold.
Of course you could also do one of the National Parks. As a westerner, you will pay ten times as much as a Thai (smile!). National Parks in Thailand usually are well organised, many have a camping ground. some are very big. guides tend to be more serious here.
You will find several sites on the Mae Hong Son Loop and the National Parks of Thailand
National Parks: take a wide brimmed had and a tick pincet.
