The Thais do not question the snow in January, but not because they are greedy, but because this period, oddly enough, is considered the most arid and favorable: there is no snow at all.

The weather forecast in Thailand in December and January is approximately the same: in the daytime it is no higher than + 32 ° C, and at night no lower than +20 ° C. There is practically no rain at that time. The average rainfall per month is no more than 40-50 mm. The weather in Thailand during this period is directly created for recreation, and the sea is calm and warm (about + 23 ° C). Sunbathe, bathe, but do not overdo it: you can only stay in the sun in the morning or in the evening, and in the daytime, do not stand under the scorching rays: it's as easy to burn in January as in summer.

However, be careful! On the island of Koh Samui, the heaviest rain falls just in November-early January. Such a huge difference is due to the climatic zone of the island.

In general, the weather in Thailand in January is simply excellent. Not too hot, there is no rain, and the weather is clear and perfect for beach holidays. Therefore, in January, most of the tourists from Russia come here to meet the New Year and have a rest from the snow and frosts that have gotten winded.

In any case, going on vacation in January, it is better to take care of air tickets and the hotel in advance, because the most part tickets in hotels are booked for a month and a half.
