What people love about Thailand Tours in December
- Thai Experience
So, im a bit older than the normal age group that would normally go on group tours so I was a bit apprehensive of going on a tour with a group of other people and wasn't sure I would be comfortable in the situations that where put in front of us, BUT I was 110% proved wrong, the ENTIRE tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Jack was the most helpful friendly tour leader ever, every experience we where taken through was throughly planned and prepared perfectly for us, giving us no wasted time and fitting in as many excellent experiences as possible for the allotted time. Jack would always have answers for anything we needed answered and would always have no issue giving us a hand with anything or joining in with any of the experiences we where having and with him doing that it made the trip even better than it already was. I would recommend this trip to any one of any age regardless of what comfort level you need you will be happy trust me!
- Bangkok to Chiang Mai Express
Mai was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful at all times.
- Ultimate Thailand in 10 Days - Ayutthaya / Khao Sok / Phuket
It was great to have an organized trip. The office of PrestigoAsia kept in touch with me, guides and the hotels all the time. Whole trip went well, very organized, a good flow in the schedule. Especially Russamee K. is a pearl ? on their staff! She knows how to be flexible on situations (weather, surrounding, customers wishes) and gave me a good insight of culture, life and the way, Thai people are thinking. The destinations were very well chosen for getting to know Thailand. I especially liked the 'Rock & tree house' in Khao Sok. 3 things for further customers: ➡️ transfers are a bit early, I was already sitting at the airport since 4.33 pm - check-in was not even open before 6 o'clock, my flight to Bangkok leaves at 7.55 pm Even if they say, it's meant to be considerate because of the raining season, this seems to me a bit over the top. ➡️ most of the guides speak English, but very simple. They can not answer or react to answers beyond their program (this is why I liked to be with Russamee in Bangkok, her English was perfect and she was very well informed, even beyond the borders of Thailand ??) ➡️ I didn't like the 'Kata breeze beach resort' in Phuket. This is a family hotel for especially Russian families. The staff speaks rarely English, the tourists don't. Since I usually travel alone this didn't feel good for the last 3 days. Also, my first room on June 2nd was moldy (curtains, mattress). I had an asthma attack in the middle of the night. Reception was really helpful of changing the room immediately. But it was behind half of the roof & the other half was a view on the parking lot - not very welcoming. And I had to stay there for the next 3 days. (Room on May 30th was great, but I think by accident - was a higher category). Even if I know that there was a Thai holiday on Saturday, I think toilets/facilities at the pool could be cleaned anyways. Yesterday & today it was fine, on Saturday it was disgusting. I also send this to PrestigoAsia to think about for the future.
What our customers ask about Thailand Tours in December 2025
What is the weather like in Thailand during December?
December brings ideal weather conditions to Thailand with temperatures ranging between 75-85°F (24-29°C) in Bangkok and the north. The northern city of Chiang Mai stays cooler with temperatures from 60-75°F (15-24°C). Southern beach destinations like Koh Phangan remain warm at 80-85°F (27-29°C). The pleasant climate creates good conditions for outdoor activities and temple visits. A TourRadar traveler mentioned "The weather in December was perfect for exploring temples and doing outdoor activities."
Are there any special festivals or events in Thailand during December?
The month starts with the King's Birthday on December 5th bringing nationwide celebrations and ceremonies. Tourist areas come alive with Christmas and New Year festivities. Chiang Mai's streets fill with night markets and traditional lantern displays. At places like the Kata Beach Resort in Phuket special holiday dinners need advance reservations. The combination of local and international celebrations makes December a lively time across the country.
What kind of accommodations are available in Thailand during December?
Since December marks the peak tourist season early booking is essential. Places range from high-end options like Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Resort in Chiang Mai to mid-range choices such as True Siam Rangnam in Bangkok. Beach destinations offer oceanfront properties including the Oceanfront Beach Resort in Phuket. As one traveler noted: "The Movenpick Hotel Bangkok and Kata Sea Breeze Resort Phuket were excellent choices for our December stay providing perfect locations for both city exploration and beach relaxation."
What are the best places to visit in Thailand during December?
The cooler weather makes this an excellent time to explore Bangkok's temples including Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Nature lovers head to the floating bungalows at Khao Sok National Park while beach enthusiasts flock to Koh Phangan and Phi Phi Islands for water activities. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Staying at the Sarana Bungalows in Koh Phangan in December was magical - perfect beach weather and the clearest waters for swimming." The mild temperatures in Chiang Mai create good conditions for temple visits and wildlife encounters.
How crowded are tourist destinations in Thailand during December?
December sees peak visitor numbers especially during the holiday season. Major attractions like Bangkok's Grand Palace Phi Phi Islands and Phuket's beaches get particularly busy. According to a G Adventures traveler: "Book accommodations well in advance especially on islands like Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan draws massive crowds if it falls in December."
Is December a good time for island hopping in Thailand?
The month offers excellent conditions for exploring Thailand's islands. The Andaman Sea along the west coast including Phuket and Phi Phi shows calm waters and good visibility. A G Adventures sailing participant noted: "The December sailing conditions were perfect with calm seas and clear visibility for snorkeling around islands like Ko Phi Phi and Ko Lanta."
