Thailand will officially enter the cool season on Thursday, with the coldest period between mid-December and early February, according to the Thai Meteorological Department.

The cool season is considered to have begun once temperatures in the upper part of the country consistently drop, winds shift to the Northeast or East, and rainfall decreases significantly, said Suchada Thaensap, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.

“However, that doesn’t mean every area will feel cool at the same time,” she said. “People should prepare for fluctuating weather conditions during this transitional period, including heavy fog, frost, and hazardous driving conditions.”
