Best Time To Visit Pattaya > Weather, Temperature & Season

What is the best time to visit Pattaya?

The best time to visit Pattaya is November to February, when it is dry and comfortable at 23°C to 30°C, with most days sunny and only occasional showers.

March to May is hot and humid at around 33°C. June to October is the monsoon, with heavy rain but the lowest rates of the year and far fewer people.

Pattaya is a short drive from Bangkok, so the two are usually done on one trip and share the same window. Ferries to Koh Larn run year-round, but the sea is choppier and trips less reliable through the monsoon.

More about Best Time to Travel to Pattaya

Pattaya in Winter (November to February)

Temperature: 20°C at night to 30°C by day.
Weather: The driest and most comfortable stretch, mostly sunny with occasional showers.
Crowds: Highest of the year, and accommodation is at its most expensive. Book ahead.
Tip: The best months for the beaches, for Koh Larn day trips and for Jomtien, which is quieter than Pattaya’s own city beach.

Pattaya in Summer (March to May)

Temperature: Around 33°C, humid.
Weather: Hot and sticky, hardest in the afternoons, but still dry.
Crowds: Lower than peak, and rates drop with them.
Tip: Plan the beach and Koh Larn for mornings, and the indoor attractions, Nong Nooch gardens and the floating market for the heat of the day.

Pattaya in Monsoon (June to October)

Temperature: Around 32°C, humid.
Weather: The wet season, with heavy rain and choppier seas. Rain often comes in bursts rather than all day.
Crowds: Lowest of the year, with the cheapest rooms.
Tip: Koh Larn ferries still run but can be cancelled in rough weather, so keep island days flexible. The nightlife, malls and Nong Nooch carry on regardless.

Festivals and Events in Pattaya

Loy Krathong, usually November. Floating lanterns released along the beachfront.
Pattaya International Fireworks Festival, usually late November. Displays over the bay across two nights.
Wan Lai, 18 to 19 April. Pattaya runs its own Songkran days after the national holiday, so the water fights here last longer than anywhere else in Thailand.
Pattaya International Music Festival, usually March. Free stages along Beach Road.
Vegetarian Festival, September or October.

Best Time to Visit Pattaya by Interest

Beaches and Koh Larn: November to April, when the sea is calmest.
Family attractions and gardens: any month. Nong Nooch and the indoor attractions work in rain or heat.
Nightlife: year-round, busiest November to February.
Lowest prices: June to October.
Songkran: mid-April, and Pattaya’s own Wan Lai on 18 and 19 April.

Day Trips from Pattaya

Pattaya works as a base as much as a destination, and the day trips do not change much by season.

Koh Larn and the near islands: best November to April, calmest seas.
Nong Nooch Tropical Garden and Khao Chi Chan: any month.
Sanctuary of Truth: any month, and a good rainy-day choice.
Bangkok: around two hours by road, so many trips combine the two.
