The locals are very kind and always happy to help. Plus, the country itself is packed full of beautiful changing scenery.\u00a0This all makes it the ideal place for a first time traveler too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing time to learn Thai<\/a> phrases will greatly enrich your experience while demonstrating respect for the local culture. It also conveys your genuine interest in the country and its customs, fostering friendly conversations and forging new friendships with the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this is your first time heading to Thailand you may be wondering, where do I even start? I get it, it can be a little overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been to Thailand twice now so I decided to put together this list of my top recommendations of places that will be absolutely ideal for your first visit to this wonderful country.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the best time to visit Thailand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thailand is a popular tourist destination all year round. But the best time to visit is between November – March. This is when the weather is dry and not super hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting between April – June is the height of their summer so will be much hotter. If you plan to go in these months Try and plan your visit to be in Thailand on the 13th<\/sup>-15th<\/sup> of April for the Songkran Festival.  This festival is basically one giant, countrywide water fight! It was the most fun I had on my whole trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their rainy season is from June – October so I would generally avoid these months. This however, will be the cheapest time to visit if you are looking to save some money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to decide where to go in Thailand for first timers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thailand has so much to offer that if you are short on time it may be good to decide what your main priorities are for your visit. If you enjoy city life, temples, arts, food and culture then maybe you will prefer to stay in the north of the country and explore Bangkok and Chang Mai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are more interested in beaches, diving, yoga, nature and wildlife then heading south to the Islands will be more suited for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
