Thai winter is a weather phenomenon where from the month of November onward, the northern parts of Thailand experience cold weather due to a cold wave from China. Though sometimes the phenomenon is concentrated to the north of the country, it can spread to the rest of the country.
Moreover, the MET department also warned that Thailand might expect to get harsher cold fronts from China throughout February.

So, if you’re visiting Thailand from this December to February, do pack some extra layers to keep yourselves warm up through the cold! Who knows, the cold there might be colder than you think. So pack your extra layers, and enjoy the chill in the tropics!
