Thailand Tours in Berbaris
The cool season takes its final bow — catch the last dry weeks on Thailand's islands before the heat builds, with Makha Bucha celebrations lighting up the temples.
Why Visit Thailand in Berbaris?
From perfect weather to cultural festivals, here's what makes March an incredible time to explore Thailand.
Last Dry Season Weeks
March is the final month of the dry season on the Andaman coast before the monsoon begins in May. Seas are still calm and clear, making it an excellent time for island hopping.
Makha Bucha Day
This important Buddhist holiday in February or March sees candlelit processions around temples nationwide. Witnessing thousands of flickering candles at a major temple is profoundly beautiful.
Shoulder Season Value
As March marks the transition between cool and hot seasons, tourist numbers begin to thin slightly. Savvy travellers can find better deals on accommodation and tours compared to January and February.
Prime Diving Conditions
Water temperatures of 28-29°C and excellent visibility make March outstanding for diving at the Similan Islands, Koh Tao, and the Andaman reefs. Whale shark sightings increase this month.
Warming Temperatures
Temperatures begin climbing to 33-34°C across the country, with Chiang Mai losing its cool morning chill. Plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat.

March Travel Tips
Essential tips for planning your Thailand trip this March.
Beat the Rising Heat
March temperatures climb above 33°C in Bangkok and the south. Schedule temple visits and outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon, and take air-conditioned breaks during the midday heat.
Burning Season in the North
March is burning season in northern Thailand when farmers clear fields, creating hazy skies around Chiang Mai. If you have respiratory sensitivities, consider focusing on the southern islands instead.
Increase Sun Protection
The March sun is significantly stronger than the cool season months. Apply SPF 50+ frequently, wear UV-protective clothing for water activities, and bring a hat and quality sunglasses for all-day outings.
Hydrate Constantly
The transition to hot season means higher humidity and heat. Carry water at all times, add electrolyte sachets when sweating heavily, and avoid alcohol during the hottest hours of the day.
Last Chance for Similan Islands
The Similan Islands national park closes in mid-May for the monsoon season. March and April are your final months to visit until November, so book liveaboard trips well in advance.
Consider Overnight Transport
Thailand's VIP sleeper buses and overnight trains between Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and the south save both time and hotel costs. March is less hectic than February, so tickets are easier to secure.
