The Rains Season from May through October. However there are many sunny days throughout the Rains Season: showers customarily last little more than 2 or 3 hours.

The Hot Season from November through April. Temperatures are highest in March and April. The best months for travel are November through February.

Average temperatures range between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius.




•	Thailand adopts the British standard of driving on the left side of the road. Major highways are divided dual-carriage. This is of much help to the uninitiated.
•	Speed limit for cars is 60 kph. in town, 100 kph. on highways and 120 kph. on motorways except when overtaking.
•	Road signs and kilometre stones are quite adequate and follow international standards. But it helps to keep a mental picture of the route to be taken and distance to be covered and marking them off in progress against the odometer so as to be able to give an approximate location as well as to correctly judge whether it will be quicker to press on or turn back in case of an emergency.
•	Service stations with convenience stores and clean toilets can be found near towns, intersections and populated areas. However, it is wise to top-up the tank periodically rather than wait until it’s almost empty when venturing into unfamiliar territory. Credit cards are not generally accepted.
•	Unless thoroughly familiar with the road, night driving is to be avoided due to heavy truck-traffic. And so with dusk and dawn when eerie light can play tricks with driver’s perception of depth and distance.
•	Highway police can be reached by dialing 1193 and the Tourist police at 1699. ! In case of an accident, follow the instructions given at the time of rental.
