Doi Suthep

People say you haven’t truly arrived in Chiang Mai until you’ve been to Doi Suthep Temple. The Mountain was originally called Doi Aoy Chang or Sugar Elephant Mountain, with the summit being high up in the jungle and the first peak housing the famous Doi Suthep Temple.

Make sure you are carrying a bottle of water and a good pair of walking shoes as you'll have to climb a steep staircase to reach the top of the hill where the temple is. At the base of the stairs, local vendors sell everything from tasty local treats to goods handmade by villagers from the surrounding mountains. You will also find shops selling masks, elephant carvings, and home furnishings, so you can also do some shopping.

Tonsai Beach

With its stunning limestone cliffs hugging sandy coastlines and turquoise waters, Tonsai Beach attracts plenty of climbers all year long. One of the best things about climbing here is that you can just as easily climb solo or find a climbing partner or club once you arrive. You can also take a refresher lesson if you need one.

As the area has many climbing and bouldering schools, the easier routes are often busy, and you might need to queue to get up to the most popular viewpoints.

Best Time to Visit Thailand

To enjoy the country in the most ideal weather, visit Thailand during the dry season, which for most of the country kicks off in November and lasts through March or even into April and May. An exception here is the Lower Gulf region including the island paradises of Ko Samui, Ko Phangan, and Ko Tao — which is rainiest from October through December.
November through February boasts cool and comfortable weather, with average temps in the low 80s, clear blue waters, little chance of rainfall, and gorgeous scenery that's lush from the monsoon season. This time of year also sees major Thai festivals and the Western Christmas and New Year holidays, so you're looking at Thailand's biggest crowds and highest prices. Time your trip for early November and you might just beat the throngs.
Days get increasingly hot in March and into April, but this is a good time to visit, as crowds become scantier from the November to February peak time. April is also a great time, as crowds reduce, and festivals are plentiful.

The Best Times to Go Scuba Diving in Thailand

Divers and Scuba enthusiasts from all over the world flock to Thailand. Thailand's east coast is suitable for diving all, however for Andaman Sea diving in sites in Phuket, Krabi, the Phi Phi Islands, Ko Lanta, and Khao Lak it would be best to time the trip between November and April when the seas are calm and visibility is also clear. Similan and Surin marine parks are closed from mid-May to mid-October.
