Thailand in winter: which coast when?
By Simon Abplanalp ·
Andaman Sea or Gulf of Thailand: where the weather is better during the Swiss winter.
When Switzerland turns grey, Thailand calls. The key is picking the right coast.
November to April: Andaman Sea
Phuket, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Koh Lipe have their best season: dry with calm seas.
Gulf of Thailand
Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao often get more rain from October to December, then turn beautiful from January.
Getting there
There are direct flights from Zurich to Bangkok and good connections via the Gulf from Geneva and Milan. Midweek fares are often lower. Check current entry rules before you travel.
