The country may have become a go-to backpacking destination, but with the jungles, food, temples, and tropical beaches and boats like the ones seen above in the Andaman Sea, it's easy to see why.
April is the perfect time to get "hot and wet" in Thailand, according to Lonely Planet, with temperatures rising above 30°C. You'll get a sea breeze in coastal areas, or head to a rooftop bar in the city for some respite from the heat. From April 13 to 15 you can also take part in Songkran, or Thai New Year, which is celebrated with the world's biggest water fight.
