Early May is the time of the transition from dry to rainy season in Thailand. However, you don’t have to worry about this because there is very little rainfall at this period. It usually only rains lightly in the late afternoon or at night, while the days are still full of bright sunshine. The temperatures range from around 28 to 35 degrees, which is suitable for outdoor activities such as swimming, exploring islands, or visiting historical sites.
