Yes — November is one of Thailand's strongest months. Tropical monsoon, roughly 18–38°C, with hot, rainy and cooler seasons and marked regional differences between the Gulf and Andaman coasts
Weather and crowds
Cool and dry: Broadly the most comfortable weather nationwide and the highest-demand window. Hot season: Hottest period, especially inland; Songkran spikes demand in April. Green season: Rainier overall, lusher landscapes and lower prices. Two coasts: The Andaman (west) and Gulf (east) sides run on different patterns, so one coast is often usable when the other is not.
What to do in November
Best suited to beach, food, backpacking trips. Good bases this month: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket.
Budget in this month
Plan on roughly $92 a day per person at mid-range (estimate, excluding flights).
