Here’s a simple breakdown: 

November – February (Best Season ⭐) 

  • Cooler temperatures (25–30°C)  
  • Dry weather  
  • Perfect for long-distance cycling  

👉 This is peak season for our tours — and for good reason. 

March – May (Hot Season 🔥) 

  • Temperatures can reach 35°C+  
  • Best for experienced riders  
  • Early starts recommended  

👉 Still great if you handle heat well — coastal routes often have a breeze. 

June – October (Green Season 🌿) 

  • Short tropical showers  
  • Lush green landscapes  
  • Less traffic and fewer tourists  

👉 Rain usually comes in short bursts — not all-day rain. 

So when should you come? 

👉 Best overall: November to February 
👉 Best value / fewer tourists: June to October 
👉 For strong riders: March to May 

👉 Our tip: The south (Phuket, coastal routes) has great riding almost all year.
