My tip for November

Check the Loy Krathong date and book a riverside hotel or dinner cruise around it — it sells out.

How November compares

4th of 12 overall in Bangkok, 4th for weather, 7th for space, 7th for value. The emptiest month is September; the best value is September.

Plan around

Loy Krathong: One of Thailand's most atmospheric festivals, with floating krathongs and celebrations around Bangkok. The exact date changes each year.

Not set on November?

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.
