February in Thailand is the sweet spot between the hectic Christmas rush and the soggy monsoon season that hits in May. Its all-but-guaranteed gorgeous weather with steady warmth, calm seas and clear skies make it the perfect month to explore this extraordinary country. Temperatures and humidity are bearable for urban exploring at this time of year, so Bangkok is a great place to start on one of our Thailand February holidays. For a hint of green amid the concrete jungle, head to Lumphini Park for a sunset stroll. Or if culture is more your thing, venture to the sprawling Grand Palace, which is home to the sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha or explore Wat Pho where you can spot the country’s largest reclining Buddha.
Thailand February holidays also coincide with one of the country’s most elaborate and exciting festivals – Chiang Mai Flower Festival – which celebrates flowers and oriental plants in Thailand. This vibrant three-day festival is centered around Buak Hat Park in Old Town Chiang Mai and is filled with intricate flower displays, sparkling musical parades and hundreds of people wearing an array of costumes in vivid hues. Soak up the hustle and bustle of this happy celebration, before heading to the mountainous grounds of Bhuping Palace or the Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens to see traditional Thai flowers in full bloom.
