Ayutthaya in June
Not the best time
Rain season starts in earnest, making temple visits challenging after midday. Rock-bottom prices and empty sites appeal to hardy travelers who don't mind getting soaked.
Weather
Rainy season officially begins with daily afternoon downpours becoming the norm. Humidity soars to uncomfortable levels and temperatures remain high. Mornings can be sunny but afternoons are wet.

June Tips

- •Waterproof everything - phones, cameras, documents
- •Some remote temple sites may be inaccessible due to flooding
All Months
November through March offers the best weather with temperatures around 25-30°C and minimal rain. December and January are peak months when the ruins look golden in the dry season light. But crowds are thickest then too. April gets brutally hot - we're talking 35°C+ with humidity that makes cycling miserable. The rainy season from May to October brings afternoon downpours that can flood the lower temple areas. Here's what most guides won't tell you: early morning in any season beats midday. The temples open at 6 AM when it's cooler and the light is softer. Sunset at Wat Chaiwatthanaram happens around 6 PM in winter, 7 PM in summer.
