When Should I Go?
In Thailand, your wellness journey unfolds on your own terms. Every season offers something different. Whilst Thailand offers wellness journeys year-round, the timing of your trip can offer unique opportunities.
During the busier seasons, guest practitioners and vibrant festivals add layers of depth to your experience. One of the most popular is the San Kamphaeng Onsen Festival in January, hosted in the Kamphaeng Hot Springs of Chiang Mai.
Should you choose off-peak seasons, you can enjoy the enhanced tranquillity that comes with fewer crowds. These times of year often offer more exclusive experiences, with smaller class sizes and quieter group activities. It's truly about what you seek.
