Finding out where it is better to go to Thailand in September: to Phuket, to Pattaya or maybe to the islands? We tell you about the weather and prices for tours in 2021 and share our experience (we have been here 3 times).
Thailand in the fall is quite a budget opportunity to extend the summer: plunge into the blue waves and lie on the white sand under the palm trees.
Of course, showers can darken the mood a little ... but they come in very short intervals of an hour a day. In addition, a vacation in Thailand in September has more significant advantages - affordable housing prices and the absence of an influx of tourists!
Phuket in September
Considering that there are still 2 months before the opening of the season in Thailand, discounts on vouchers to Phuket in September serve as an additional bonus for those who wish to relax economically at a rather expensive resort. Here you can comfortably spend time and enjoy the silence or hang out until the morning on Bangla Road.
A vacation in Thailand in September sets you up for meditation and relaxation, even to the accompaniment of tropical rains. By the way, they are warm. Despite the short "respite" behind the clouds, the sun in the first month of autumn is still scorching, and the tan sticks with a bang. The sea temperature, like the whole year, is ideal for swimming, but the loud sound of the surf is heard much more often. In principle, this explains the special popularity of Thailand in September among surfers - the waves are what you need. 🙂
The atmosphere of "off-season" affects the local population and their ambitions to profit from tourists - tuk-tuk are cheaper, taxis are more affordable, fruit for free.
Prices for tours to Phuket in September, as we said earlier, are also going down. So, you can fly from Moscow for 10-11 nights for 60,000 rubles FOR TWO. And in a good 3 stars. See for yourself, the current cost of tours from any tour operator - to your composition / from your city / to your favorite hotel - can be viewed on the aggregators:
- Travelata
- Level.Travel
- Onlinetours
Where is the best place to relax in September?
Phuket's deserted beaches in September are not attracted - go to Pattaya, Bangkok or the islands of the Gulf of Thailand, where the rainy season falls on a different period:
- Koh Samui, for example, will greet you with wild nature;
- in Phangan you can visit the picturesque waterfalls;
- Koh Samet will provide a quiet rest in cozy bungalows;
- and on the mysterious Koh Tao there is an opportunity to see a monitor lizard. But be careful with this!
Pattaya in September
Pattaya in September due to the minimum rainfall is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Thailand. Yes, the sea in Pattaya is not as clean as in Phuket or Samui, but this is not what they come here for? The city has a rich nightlife and many attractions that are outlandish for Europeans. Even if you frankly dislike the music rumbling from the speakers, you should relax in a disco club or rock bar in order to feel the Asian drive. 🙂 Plus, low prices for these very entertainment and food!
Do not miss the opportunity to visit a crocodile farm, go to the River Kwai, visit ancient Buddhist temples and, of course, taste delicious tom-yum and pad thai and experience a real Thai massage. Moreover, Pattaya is famous for the most democratic prices for everything! What attractions should you pay attention to in Pattaya?
