Best Time to Visit in Hua Hin
Part of the Hua Hin travel guide — see every topic in All Hua Hin Guides.
Hua Hin is on the Gulf of Thailand, which has a different rain pattern from Phuket and Krabi. It works all year, but the months change the sea, the wind and the crowds.
Cool and dry: December to February
This is the high season: sunny, about 22–31°C, with low humidity and a calm sea. Hotel prices are highest at Christmas, New Year and on long weekends, and the kitesurf season is in full swing.
Hot: March to May
March to May is hot, often 33–35°C, but usually dry, with a calm sea for swimming. Songkran, the Thai New Year water festival around 13–15 April, fills Hua Hin with visitors from Bangkok.
Mid-year: June to September
When the Andaman coast (Phuket and Krabi) has its monsoon, Hua Hin often stays fairly dry, with short showers and some cloud. It is a good choice in these months, and prices are lower except on Thai holiday weekends.
Rainy: October to November
October and November are the wettest months, with heavy rain on some days and rougher seas, and some national park roads close. It is quiet, with good hotel deals; by late November the weather usually improves.
