jason1975 Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Wanna ask this. I know it is low season now during summer. When does this low season last until? Thinking of going to Bangkok in September. Quote
faranglaw Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Low season lasts through the end of the rainy season, some time in October. Then I think it would be accurate to call it "shoulder season" until early December. Quote
ChristianPFC Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Low season is from 1st of January to 31st of December every year. a447a and ggobkk 2 Quote
stijntje Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Low season is from 1st of January to 31st of December every year. I've never been there in that period I guess. I always saw a lot of people in the gogo bars the rest of the year. Quote
pong Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 depends on for what you ask this for. For HTLs/accomm: varies by place and house, but as general rule: low=rainy, high=dry season/monsoon, with peak-high the weks around Xmas/+1/1, mostly as so many farang then come, these are not thai special holidays. Also as rule of thumb: the worse the wheather in TH, the lower the saeson is and also prices for places aiming at those folks. IF you follow and read fora like this and other re gay-TH: its as der Chris says: it always rains complaints about too few boys, too few customers, etc. In general this is not an all an issue that should worry you much: what is characteristic of TH and especially TH tourist-places is a giant oversupply of anything a tourist might want.

vinapu Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 all my trips so far were either mid-May to mid-Jun / supposed low season / or Mid-Nov to end of Dec / supposed high season / I must say only differences I noticed were in weather ( much better in Dec ) and accommodation ( some hotels are raising prices and at times it's hard to secure room in hotel of choice .

steveboy Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 There are reasons to prefer one season over another. But if the opportunity to visit comes at a certain inflexible time one should take it regardless of low / rainy / high season. Visits are satisfying all year around. ggobkk, a447a and Vessey 3 Quote
gerefan Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Low season = more boys available per customer... bars and gogo bars not packed out...restaurants less full....Baht busses empty....cheaper air fares....often Ramadan....more hotel rooms available....no queues ....beaches emptier..... High season = the reverse! colmx 1 Quote
