Hong Kong and Bangkok
The verdict for March
Mild with a cultural buzz
+Comfortable temperatures
–Rain starts increasing
March brings mild temperatures and comfortable conditions before Hong Kong moves deeper into its wetter spring period. The Hong Kong Arts Festival also makes this a strong month for culture.
Quieter, but heating up
+Relatively dry with fewer visitors and lower prices than the peak season.
–Temperatures start climbing sharply.
Dry-season reliability without peak-season prices.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
