"...While the rainy season is often labelled as the low season for tourism, recent insights from AirAsia MOVE present a refreshing perspective, showing that the monsoon months are increasingly favoured by Thai travellers, especially working professionals and families. Rather than seeing the rain as an obstacle, many view it as a chance to disconnect from city stress and reconnect with nature in serene, scenic destinations, a perfect recharge before heading into the second half of the year..."
According to booking data on the AirAsia MOVE platform, travellers aged 22 to 45 are particularly inclined towards short weekend escapes lasting two to three days. Destinations like Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, and even Taipei have emerged as top picks, offering a peaceful yet romantic atmosphere under drizzling skies. Convenience and value for money are key factors for this group, who often opt for the platform’s SNAP feature, a seamless travel package combining flights and hotels, tailored for efficiency and ease.
Meanwhile, families with young children are also embracing the rainy season as a time for meaningful getaways. Many parents see it as the ideal window for their children to explore, learn, and play outside the classroom. Popular choices include nature-enriched destinations such as Krabi, Hat Yai, and Phuket, where both indoor and outdoor activities abound. Bookings typically favour family-friendly 3- to 4-star hotels or resorts, which are easily accessible via the AirAsia MOVE app, making planning a holiday more effortless than ever.
To further support local tourism and stimulate the domestic travel economy, AirAsia MOVE has launched a special campaign titled "Rainy Season Getaway". The promotion offers an instant discount of THB 450 on all SNAP bookings (flight + hotel packages), applicable to any route. Simply enter the code SNAPNOW at checkout. The campaign runs from 10 May to 1 June 2025, with a minimum booking value of THB 7,700 (Terms and conditions apply).
This growing interest in monsoon travel highlights a shift in mindset, from avoiding the rain to embracing its natural beauty. The rainy season is now being seen not as a time to stay indoors, but as a rare opportunity to slow down, breathe, and discover tranquillity in nature’s rhythm.
