08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
November is the start of the cool season, with clear skies, rain on about twelve days, afternoons around 32 °C and lower humidity, and Loy Krathong at the full moon, when thousands float candlelit baskets on the river and the canals and the Yi Peng lanterns rise in the north. High season begins and hotel prices climb. It is one of the best months to visit, with the parks and the river at their freshest.
The Bangkok Marathon runs in November, closing central roads for a morning. The Chatuchak market and the Grand Palace fill again with the cool-season crowds. The Chao Phraya is at its highest after the rains. Air quality begins to decline as the dry season starts. For Father's Day, Christmas and the year's highest rates, see December; the first half of November is the price window.
