Rising winds, falling temperatures – the coolest new year in Thailand
A strong cold front from China is presently occupying both northern Thailand and the south. This means that the new year holiday temperatures in the north and northeast regions are expected to fall by 2 – 4 degrees Celsius, and by 1 – 3 degrees in the rest of the country. Temperatures in the south will remain as they are.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expects domestic tourism to generate 3 million trips during the new year holiday, drawing in 11 billion baht (US$300 million), with the northern region posting occupancy as high as 78%.
Countdown celebrations in 12 provinces are poised to stimulate 4.2 billion baht (US$120 million) for local economies. As a holiday gift to the public, Thailand’s Fine Arts Department is opening all national museums and historical sites in the kingdom for free between December 30, 2022, to January 2, 2023.
