When is the best time to visit Southeast Asia for sun?

For most of Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, the “dry season” runs from November to April. This is the peak window for guaranteed sunshine and manageable humidity. If you are visiting Bali (Indonesia), however, the seasons are reversed, with the best weather occurring between April and October.

Destinations like Dubai and parts of India can see temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F) in June and July. For a more comfortable summer heat, stick to coastal regions or island destinations like Bali or Koh Samui, where sea breezes keep the peak temperatures tolerable.

Bangkok, Thailand is frequently cited as one of the hottest cities in the world due to its high year-round temperatures and humidity. For those seeking a dry heat, Dubai in the UAE offers consistent scorching sun with very little rainfall.

Asia’s weather is governed by monsoons, which vary by region.

  • West Coast Thailand (Phuket/Krabi): Avoid May to October.

  • East Coast Thailand (Koh Samui): Avoid October to December.

  • Philippines: Avoid July to September (typhoon season). Our live tracker above is updated daily, so you can check the current cloud cover and rain forecasts before you book.

Visa requirements vary wildly across Asia. Many countries like Thailand and Singapore offer visa-free entry for many nationalities, while others like Vietnam or Cambodia require an e-visa. Always check your local government’s travel advice alongside our weather rankings.

Since these are the most popular spots for “winter sun,” hotels can fill up quickly during the holiday season and school breaks. We recommend using our weather widgets above to find the best current weather and book your flight and hotel together to lock in the “Same Price as Booking Direct” rates.

Don’t get hit with massive roaming charges while checking your maps in the sun. We recommend using a service like Saily (by NordSecurity). You can set it up in one click before you land, ensuring you have data the second you step off the plane.
