Do any of you move around the country throughout the year? If so, where, when, and why?
Do any of you rotate throughout… About this same time last year, the smog in Bangkok started getting really bad. And this year, I think I might head out of the city for the few months when it's worst.
Do any of you rotate throughout Thailand to get the best seasons in each place?
honestly i do the opposite of most people. i go to kanchanaburi during the smog months, the air's way cleaner and you got the river life. then when the rain starts i head to the southern islands like koh lanta, monsoon season means way fewer tourists and everything's half price. been doing it for 3 years now, feels like cheating the system
i do a different kind of rotation tbh. instead of chasing perfect weather i follow the fruit seasons. march to may i'm in chanthaburi for durian season, you can get fresh-picked ones for like 80 baht at the orchards near makham. then june to august i bounce between mae hong son and pai when the lychees and longans come in, the air's good and the mornings are actually chilly enough for a hoodie. september i usually crash with friends in nakhon si thammarat for the rambutan and mangosteen harvest, way cheaper than the tourist islands and the local markets are unreal
yeah i know a few people who do the seasonal shuffle. a lot of folks head up to chiang mai around december to feb for the cool weather, but then you have to dodge the burning season up there from march. so it's like you trade bangkok smog for northern smoke.
i've been doing a slow loop myself. spend the hot season april-may down on koh chang or koh samet, the gulf islands get a bit of breeze. then when the rains hit the south around june, i head up to isaan for a few months. khon kaen and udon thani have that dry heat that's actually pretty manageable, and the food is unreal. cheap rooms too, like 300-400 baht a night for something decent.
a friend of mine swears by hua hin for the smog months. it's close enough to come back for visa stuff and the air is way better than bkk. prices jump a bit during high season but it's still way cheaper than staying in the city and buying n95 masks every week
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
