What to Do and What to Pack: Thailand in December/January
When people ask me the best time to visit Thailand, I always say: December to January, especially if you want a little bit of everything: crisp mornings in the north, sun-kissed beaches, and none of the worst of the monsoon. Over my four trips, I’ve come to see December and January as the sweet spot. In the north, it’s dry, cool (for Thai standards), and misty in places; on the islands, the seas are calm and visibility is excellent.

Planning a Trip: SE Asia Flights
SE Asia is the best place to go to get a mix of culture, nightlife and lots of beach time. I went to Thailand a year and a half ago by myself and had the best time. I was able to meet people all over the world, but the best part was exploring the temples in the different cities and learning more about Buddhism and myself.
