What you gain in April

  • 9.4 daily sunshine hours: the sunniest month — An Bang Beach at its absolute best for swimming
  • Still very low rainfall (36mm): outdoor cycling tours, countryside visits, and boat trips fully reliable
  • 31°C heat is manageable with early morning starts; the Old Town empties of day-trippers by 9am

What you sacrifice

  • Easter holiday peak: European and Australian spring-break tourists make the Ancient Town feel crowded at weekends
  • Hottest spell of the dry season — midday sightseeing in the Old Town requires seeking shade frequently
  • Accommodation prices at a seasonal high; budget guesthouses near the Japanese Covered Bridge often fully booked
