Thailand experiences three seasons-rainy (May-Oct); cool (Nov-Feb) and summer (March-May). The wintertime featuring pleasant weather, less rains and plenty of festivals (Loi Krathong) makes for the best time to visit Kuala Lumpur and Thailand. It is a peak season with heavy tourist influx; therefore travellers are advised to book tickets aboard flights and hotels well in advance. Those who want to avoid crowds can plan their travel during low-season (from April to June and September and October). The period is ripe when budget travellers can easily take advantage of discounted room rates and comparatively cheap airfares.
