Located in Kien Giang province, Nam Du stands out with the pristine beauty of more than 20 large and small islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Let's explore all the travel experiences in Nam Du for a truly complete journey.
When Is The Best Time To Visit Nam Du?
Nam Du is an archipelago located in the sea of Kien Giang, in the Gulf of Thailand, so it is less affected directly by storms. However, the best time to travel to Nam Du is from December to March every year. This is when the sea is calm, the waves are gentle, the sky is clear blue and the weather is cool, which is very favorable for outdoor activities such as diving, swimming, and exploring small islands around the archipelago.
In addition, from April to November is the rainy season, the sea often has big waves, and boat trips to the island can also be delayed due to bad weather. If you want to visit during this time, always update the weather information to have the most suitable plan.
