Thailand trip in May: weather, crowds, prices
Indian summer holidays: peak season for family packages. Rains start on the Andaman coast late in the month. Similan and Surin islands close in mid-May until mid-October. May is outside the main season in Thailand: rates are lower and places are quieter; keep one flexible day in case of weather.
Summer Holidays (May and June, when Indian schools are closed)
May and June are school holidays in India. In Thailand it is the start of the green season: hot, with short showers, fewer tourists and lower hotel prices. Pattaya, Bangkok and Koh Samui stay good for families.
- Carry light rain jackets for short afternoon showers.
- Koh Samui has its dry season in June and July while the Andaman side is rainy.
- Families: Pattaya has water parks, Nong Nooch garden and Coral Island; Bangkok has Safari World and the aquarium.
Where to go in May: Koh Samui and the Gulf side stay drier now, while Phuket and Krabi get monsoon showers and rougher sea. Bangkok and Pattaya work all year.
In May a 7-night Thailand trip costs roughly ₹23,800 to ₹44,200 per person on the ground.
