Weather
Dry and warm, 26–33°C. The Andaman is still calm; the north is warming up but the mornings remain cool. The haze season has not started yet.
Why we like it
Hotel rates drop after the first week, boats are easier to book, and the light is excellent for photography. It is the month we recommend to travellers who want to move between three or four places.
Watch for
Chinese New Year in late February fills Bangkok and Phuket for a long weekend. Book those dates early or avoid them.
