2023, a perfect timing for a Bangkok trip

According to the WHO, the pandemic officially hit humanity in 2020. The pandemic made the connections between countries and cities scarce, for there are rules and regulations to limit the outbreak. However, it has been three years since the first announcement, and the overall situation is getting better. That also includes the travel industry and flights. Back then, in 2020 and 2021, the number of flights all around the world decreased substantially. As things have gradually improved over time, there are more flights in 2023, making traveling easy again. Thailand, one of the most popular countries for tourists, has been included in that situation as well. Right now, in 2023, you can easily catch more flights to visit Bangkok, the city of angels.

Although Thailand’s weather is drastically characterized by two monsoon seasons, its year-round warmth is one of the country’s attractions. Thailand’s weather consequently tends to be divided into three distinct seasons: the hot season (March to May), the cold season (November to February), and the wet season (May to October). Hence, the perfect timing for a Bangkok trip is when the weather is cold and dry, which ranges from November to February.
