The clear warm waters are enticing, and are pretty safe for most of the year. The sea does contain dangerous creatures, such as sea snakes, lionfish, stonefish and jellyfish. However, it’s only really jellyfish that could concern swimmers , and these are not much of a problem on Thailand’s Andaman coast.
So the best rule of thumb is, unless you want to show you are a Red Shirt supporter, don’t wear a red shirt. The main rule of thumb in Thailand is dress more conservatively than you would at home, and women should always wear bras, particularly in Bangkok.
When to avoid traveling in Thailand Chiang Mai: If possible, avoid visiting from mid-February through early April. This is “burning season” and air quality can be quite bad. Similan Islands: The National Marine Park is closed between the months of November through March.
The south is generally best avoided in October and November, and the Similan Islands are closed between November and March. Avoid Koh Chang and the Andaman coast in June and July. Heavy rains and storms combined with choppy sea conditions mean that you won’t experience the best that the areas have to offer.
