The best time to visit The Golden Triangle in Thailand is from November and February which are the winter months. The weather is pleasant, dry and the water level of the rivers Mekong and Ruak is safe for boat rides. The mercury level remains between 14ᵒC and 31ᵒC.
From March the temperature starts rising and averages to about 33ᵒC until June (average low remains around 27ᵒC). July onwards, there is a slight dip in the average high temperature and the monsoons arrive. The region receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 1700 mm.
It rains the most in the months of August and September. Since the Golden Triangle is located at the confluence of the rivers, visiting during the rainy season is not recommended due to a drastic rise in the water level and possibilities of floods.
