ASIA
With some of the most dramatic scenery to be found in any cruising destination, Malaysia and Thailand offer dream vacation opportunities. With white sands, emerald seas and the signature towering islands covered with tropical vegetation, it is a different world. From Phuket, Langkawi and the Andaman Sea on the west side of the peninsula, to Koh Samui and Koh Chang in the Bay of Bangkok, and Tioman further south, there are destinations to suit those in search of tranquility and those who prefer a more lively ambience.
Weather in Thailand and Malaysia
The weather in South East Asia is dominated by the monsoons. During November to April north easterly winds bring dry and settled weather with calm seas. This is the best time to visit Phuket, Langkawi and Koh Chang. Year round, the temperature is between 28 and 35 degrees Celcius and winds rarely exceed 25 knots.
From May to October the winds are stronger and from the South West bringing strong daytime sunshine, and late afternoon rain showers. Humidity is high and temperatures average around 28 degrees Celsius. Visit Koh Samui and Tioman during this period as these islands are well protected by the main peninsula.
