If you&#8217;re like me and are from a freezing place like Michigan, you probably laugh at the notion that 60-65F is cold. This season generally lasts from November to February, and it is probably the most pleasant time to travel in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>The hot (or dry) season lasts from February to May. There are lots of hot, sunny days during this time. In the northern part of the country there&#8217;s very little rain, and even droughts, while in the south on the islands there&#8217;s already quite a bit of rain.<\/p>\n<p>The rainy season in Thailand lasts from May to October. Usually it will rain once a day for a few hours, so it&#8217;s really not that bad. Keep in mind, though, that some places may experience flooding during the rainy season.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Weather Vocabulary<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2799\" style=\"width:
