The Best Time to Visit Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos & Thailand

Planning a trip to Southeast Asia? 🌏 One of the most common questions travelers ask is: When is the best time to go? With its tropical climate, monsoon seasons, and regional differences, the answer depends on where you’re headed and what kind of experience you want.

Here’s a month-by-month guide to the best time to visit Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, so you can make the most of your adventure.

1. Vietnam  

Vietnam stretches more than 1,600 km from north to south, so its climate varies widely.

• North Vietnam (Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Sapa):
  • October – April: Cool and dry, ideal for sightseeing and trekking.
  • May – September: Warmer with some afternoon showers, but mornings are often sunny and clear, making it a great time to enjoy lush landscapes and fewer crowds.
• Central Vietnam (Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang):
  • February – August: Warm and sunny, perfect for beach escapes.
  • September – January: Expect a mix of sun and rain, often with bright mornings and showers later in the day—tours still run, and the countryside is especially green.
• South Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc):
  • November – April: Dry and sunny, great for river cruises and islands.
  • May – October: Rain often falls in short bursts in the late afternoon, leaving plenty of time to enjoy tours and outdoor activities during the day.

2. Cambodia 

Cambodia has two main seasons:

• November – March: Dry, cooler weather, best for Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh.
• April – October: Hotter and wetter months, but mornings are usually sunny. Afternoon rains cool the air and refresh the temples and countryside, creating stunning photo opportunities.

3. Laos 

Laos is relaxed year-round, with distinct seasonal charms.

• November – March: Cool and dry, perfect for river cruises and Luang Prabang.
• April – October: Rain showers usually arrive later in the day, keeping mornings clear for activities. Waterfalls are at their most powerful, and landscapes turn emerald green.

4. Thailand 

Thailand’s weather patterns vary by region, but all seasons bring something unique.

• November – February: Cooler, dry, and comfortable—ideal for beaches, temples, and city explorations.
• March – May: Hotter days, perfect for beach lovers. April is extra fun with Songkran (Thai New Year) water celebrations.
• June – October: Expect sunny mornings and occasional afternoon rains, which rarely last long. The countryside is lush, waterfalls are spectacular, and it’s a great time for travelers seeking fewer crowds.
