Less Crowding and Cost

The heat and humidity keep many people from traveling around Thailand in June. This results in discounted rates and quiet attractions, which makes June a great time to visit Thailand for the aspects of price and crowding.

What to Wear in June

Pack light and cool clothing with quick-dry fabrics. Be sure to pack a lightweight raincoat or umbrella and bring along some rubber boots as well as sandals if you want to keep your feet dry. UV levels will be high, so pack plenty of sun cream, a sunhat, and good sunglasses. Don't forget your insect/mosquito repellent.

For women, remember to bring long sleeves as well as a long skirt, trousers, or sarong with you if you are going to visit any temples. Men should also wear long sleeves and trousers in temples.
