Best time to visit Hua Hin
Thailand · 20-year averages
December is the best month in Hua Hin, scoring 85 out of 100, with May the weakest at 42. The 43-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 3 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.
April is the warmest month at 32.9 °C and December the coolest at 28.2 °C — a 4.7 °C spread across the year. 209 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.
There is a real wet season here. May to October carry the rain — up to 29 wet days in a month — while January, February, March and December drop as low as 4. That 25-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Hua Hin, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea never drops below 27.8 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.9 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.
The three strongest months are December, January, February. The one to think twice about is May. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
