What you gain in November

  • Loy Krathong festival (full moon, usually November): floating lanterns on every canal and river — extraordinary
  • Rains dropping sharply: far more reliable outdoor conditions than October
  • Temperatures comfortable: 30°C without the humidity of the wet season

What you sacrifice

  • Tourist season beginning to rebuild: prices rising from October lows
  • Loy Krathong week: hotel demand spikes sharply in Bangkok and Chiang Mai
  • International flights filling up as peak season approaches
