Thailand is truly a paradise, with white sand beaches and unique islands tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It’s always debatable whether visiting Thailand in June is worthwhile. The advent of the summer rains heralds the start of Thailand’s green season months. The rains begin earnest in May, the Thai countryside begins to alter and take a notably greener tint in June. The level of rainfall in much of Thailand decreases somewhat (except for Ko Chang).
Visiting Thailand in June has its perks. Many major sights are less crowded and hotels are giving discounts to fill their rooms. It’s worth looking into domestic airlines for green season offers. They frequently offer specific routes and may save you a lot of money.
Weather in June
Thailand’s weather is lovely in June, providing the ideal setting for a tropical holiday. The weather is unpredictable. It is always better to be prepared for a shift in the weather and never underestimate the sun’s UV radiation. Morning blue skies and dazzling sunshine can be followed by midday thunderstorms (and vice versa).
The unpredictable weather, with water flowing at the coastlines and streets drenched in an unexpected downpour. While the rain only lasts around two hours, the city quickly dries off, making Thailand’s June weather pleasant and great for tourism.

Places to see in June
Rainfall in the north and central areas begins to restore some greenery to the hills and rural countryside. The depth to rivers and waterfalls along with slightly muddy conditions should be expected if you are trekking the Golden Triangle region.
In the south and on the islands, weather patterns are similar to May. The weather in Khao Sok National Park is hot and humid. The islands of Koh Chang and Koh Kood are wet. While the rain is forecasted for Phuket, Khao Lak, and Krabi’s west coast beaches.
Hua Hin and Cha-Am, as well as the east coast beaches of Koh Samui, Khanom, and Koh Pha Ngan, are the best bets for assured sunshine, with little to no rain forecast. Dive conditions are still favorable on Koh Tao and the east coast islands.
Chiang Mai
The prosperous city, Chiang Mai nestled to the north of Bangkok, flanked by massive mountains and hill tribe settlements. It is an old city with a wonderful mixture of the laid-back north, stunning mountains, and a variety of historically rich architecture and activities just waiting to be discovered.
Pai
Pai, a backpacker’s dream come true. This little village tucked away from the turmoil of human habitation, is located halfway between Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai.

Mae Hong Son

Chiang Rai
Chiang Rai, located in Thailand’s far north, acts as a connecting point for the golden triangle. This town has its own beauty by the Buddhist temples and museums that tell the area’s heritage. Boat rides on the Kok River, visits to Wat Klang Wiang, White Temple, Munitti Chiang Rai Buddhist temple, Cultural Hall Museum, and Baan Dam Museum are among the things to do.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon has a bell-shaped Chedi in the northeast corner which represents the town. It was erected by King Naresuan in 1592, who was one of Ayutthaya’s best kings. The king’s satisfaction of defeating the Burmese army reflects in the architecture. The stillness that pervades the temple’s perimeter will allow you to enjoy a few moments of serenity.
Erawan National Park
Erawan Falls, which flows down seven tiers, is its most famous feature. The falls are surrounded by an emerald green pond providing a close look at the animals and difficult pathways. It is a fantastic spot for families and adventurous tourists. Phartat Cave, which features stalactites and stalagmites, and Ta Duang Cave, which contains rock drawings, are two of the park’s caves.
Khao Laem Lake
This massive lake encompasses the entire territory of Sangkhlaburi, with a gorgeous view of the hills in the background. The lake was formed in the 1980s by the Vajiralongkorn dam, and it buried two communities, which were eventually moved. A boat trip on the lake, which provides a view into the bizarre world, is a must-do for all visitors.a
Koh Tao
Explore the world underneath the emerald green sea water by experiencing the excitement of Scuba Diving on this little island, which is located 55 kilometres from Koh Samui. The name Koh Tao translates to “Turtle Island,” and the island lives true to its name by providing a safe haven for turtles and other marine animals, as well as a breathtaking view of the coral reef.
