abidismaili Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I want to experience high season again for the 2nd time in 10 years (I normally go March, October or in between). I was thinking about the last week of this year. But then this has Christmas. Maybe this is a time when many tourists stay home, because the Christmas period is generally a time when the extended family comes together. So my question is: to experience high season is the last week of the year maybe a bad idea because it will feel more like low season because of the reason outlined above?

MaxBKK Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago It's crowded and festive that week and through the New Year. Nice time to visit if you're looking for a different time of year than your past visits. abidismaili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference is there are more tourists ? Or there is a significant quality and quantity difference in the money boys available ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patanawet Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Christmas is a normal working day in Thailand so although there will be countless 'melly chlismas' decorations around, the only celebrations such as Christmas Dinners etc. will be in farang bars and international hotels. By New Year's Eve, the tourist areas will be crazily packed leading up to midnight on NYE. Thais will enjoy this and celebrate even though their New Year is not till April. These areas, Silom, Siam Square, Kao San Road etc. will get frighteningly packed. Beware pickpockets. Beware pickpockets! (yes, I said it twice). Impossible to get taxi at normal prices. (Skytrain and subway late closing (01 or 02?). Have fun. Certainly more than March or October😂🤣🙏. abidismaili 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patanawet Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I once asked my Thai other half, "what does Christmas Day celebrate?" His response "Father Christmas's birthday". Close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaolakguy Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Being in Bangkok last Christmas and New Year I found that Hotel prices were significantly higher than in mid January for example. I also found less availability of guys online and more competition in the bars. Prime Massage were booked solid for three days ahead! More likely to go in February in future.

Does prime massage take Line booking at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
