What people love about Thailand Tours in October
- Thai Intro 9 Day
Had the best week ever! Tom was a amazing guide and was very helful all the way through! lOVED the thai cooking class and the overnight bungalows! Met loads of cool people and would deff recommend thai intro!
- Thai Intro 12 Day
Sara was an absolute beast of a tour guide, very easy to get along with and seemed to know her stuff, very fun, loving character who loves her job and everything about Thailand. Couldn't ask for a better person, thanks.
- Trails and Gems of Siam, Small Group Tour
Overall the tour was as described. Accommodations and food were good. The tour involved a lot of driving (a little more than I had originally thought) and it was not as scenic as I thought it would have been. Having a small group was great. The driver did a good job. I thought the guide’s English was hard to understand and the van/drive was really bumpy. I’m sure I saw temples and markets, the silver and paper factories, I wouldn’t have experienced if I didn’t go on the tour. The guide was very nice and accommodating. The time spent at each stop was perfect, not rushed but not too long either.
What our customers ask about Thailand Tours in October 2026
What are the best destinations to visit in Thailand during October?
Northern Thailand particularly Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provide excellent October conditions with decreased rainfall and moderate temperatures. Visitors can explore Wat Phra That Doi Suthep or spend time at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary. The Gulf islands including Koh Samui offer favorable weather while Bangkok's cultural sites see fewer crowds than peak months. A TourRadar traveler noted: "October was perfect for exploring the temples in Chiang Mai with fewer tourists and comfortable temperatures."
Are there any special festivals or events in Thailand during October?
Phuket's Vegetarian Festival stands out as a major October celebration with street processions and traditional ceremonies. Chiang Mai celebrates the End of Buddhist Lent (Ok Phansa) during this time. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Even with some rain the festivals and cultural experiences made October a unique time to visit Thailand."
How much does a trip to Thailand cost in October?
October's shoulder season pricing makes travel more economical. Eight-day tours start at USD 850 while 18-day comprehensive trips run up to USD 2099. Companies like Intro Travel's Thai Intro package stays at BB House Rambuttri in Bangkok with most meals and activities included averaging USD 120-130 daily.
What kind of accommodation can I expect in Thailand during October?
Lodging options range from beachfront bungalows at Sarana Bungalows in Koh Phangan to floating houses in Khao Sok National Park. Bangkok visitors often stay at Wild Orchid Villa while island travelers choose places like Kinaree House in Phi Phi. TourRadar users consistently rate accommodations 4.5 out of 5 across different tours.
What are the best islands to visit in Thailand during October?
The Andaman islands including Phi Phi and Phuket offer better October conditions than eastern Gulf locations. Railay Beach near Krabi and Koh Phi Phi are ideal for snorkeling and beach activities. G Adventures' Thailand Island Hopping tours typically include Maya Bay visits and Monkey Beach snorkeling with travelers noting "crystal clear waters and stunning limestone cliffs."
What is the weather like in Thailand during October?
October signals the rainy season's end with regional variations. Bangkok and central areas see occasional showers with temperatures of 25-30°C (77-86°F). Coastal regions like Phuket experience higher humidity and afternoon rain. TourRadar travelers report: "the weather didn't affect us at all we were snorkeling or swimming at beach nearly everyday" at locations like Tiki Beach Hotel in Phuket.
