Where to travel in June.

June is the SE Asia low season. Daily 30-min afternoon rain, but lush green, deserted beaches, cheapest flights of the year. Annual low for Bengaluru-Bangkok at INR 17,200.

Top picks for June

1. 1Sri Lanka

   East coast (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay) is dry — opposite of south. Beach season here.

2. 2Thailand

   Gulf coast (Koh Samui, Phangan) is dry. Bangkok manageable.

3. 3Bali

   Peak dry season — best month for Bali, second-cheapest of year.

4. 4Vietnam

   Hot but bearable. Coffee tour season in highlands.

5. 5Indonesia (general)

   Dry across most of Indonesia. Lombok, Komodo accessible.

Avoid in June

• Andaman beaches Thailand (Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi): Wet season — boat trips cancel. Use Gulf coast instead.
• Northern Thailand: Hot + occasional rain. Not the worst, but not optimal.

Festivals & events

• Vesak observances
• School holidays from India — domestic demand peaks
