When to go to Thailand ?

The best time to travel to Thailand is generally between November and April, when the climate is dry, sunny, and pleasant across the majority of the country.

Partly cloudy Periods according to season :

November to February ideal period, mild temperatures and dry climate throughout the country
March to April : warmer period, ideal for islands and beach holidays
May to October rainy season, with tropical downpours and very green landscapes

The rainy season still has its appeal, though: fewer tourists, lower prices, and lush nature.

🌏 When to go to Thailand depending on the region ?

The climate varies depending on the regions of the country :

Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi (Andaman Sea) November to April
Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao (Gulf of Thailand) January to September
Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai (north) November to February
Bangkok and the centre of the country November to March

LeThe rainy season in Thailand. ?

The rainy season in Thailand generally runs from May to October, but it varies by region.

South (Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi) May to October (West coast most affected by monsoon)
Gulf of Thailand (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) October to December (period out of sync with the rest of the country)
North (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai) May to October with frequent late afternoon rain
Bangkok and centre May to October with short, intense tropical downpours.

It doesn't rain continuously: days often alternate between quick showers and lovely spells of sunshine. It is also a time when nature is greener and the sites are less crowded.

What is elephant therapy in Thailand?

L'éléphanthérapie est une approche de bien-être en Thaïlande basée sur la presence, respectful observation, and interaction with elephants in ethical sanctuaries.

🌿 A well-being-centred approach
Unlike traditional tourist activities, elephant therapy excludes any form of animal exploitation:

No elephant rides
No shows
No forced training

The aim is to promote:
– Deep relaxation
The emotional reconnection
Letting go
– Sensory presence and conscious contact with the animal

🐘 Where to practice elephant therapy in Thailand ?

ethical experiments with elephants are primarily focused in the Northern Thailand :
– Chiang Mai
Chiang Rai
– Northern mountainous regions
These areas group the main responsible sanctuaries working in a logic of animal protection and well-being.

A supervised and responsible experience
The selected sanctuaries adhere to strict animal welfare criteria. They also collaborate with practitioners specialising in wellness retreats, reconnection stays, and immersive therapeutic experiences.

How does Lunaya Travel work?

entreprise de voyages Premium travel concierge based in Thailand, specialising in the creation of bespoke experiences.

We do not directly sell tourism services. Our role is to select, recommend, connect and coordinate Travel experiences with a network of carefully selected local partners.

We assist travellers in designing their stay in Thailand by facilitating connections with local providers (accommodation, activities, wellness experiences, transport, retreats).

The team is composed of French people who have been living in Thailand for over 7 years, allowing for in-depth knowledge of the local area and a selection of authentic and reliable experiences.

👉 Lunaya Travel acts as a Matching platform and concierge service, and not as a travel agency selling services directly.

What is the difference between a traditional travel agency and a travel concierge service?

The main difference between a traditional travel agency and a travel concierge lies in their role and level of personalisation.

Traditional travel agency generally sell package deals (flights, hotels, tours) or organised holidays in the form of standardised packages.

Travel concierge, like Lunaya Travel, does not sell services directly. It acts as a Expert intermediary who selects, recommends and coordinates tailor-made experiences from a network of local partners.

👉 It focuses on personalisation, support and networking, in order to create a journey entirely tailored to the traveller's profile, desires and pace.
