The 3 seasons of Laos
The weather in Champasak
🧳 November to February (Dry season 19°C - 32°C) : this is the high season of Laos, almost no rain and relatively cool weather. All the country becomes busy with tourism and we are usually almost fully booked for 4 months. Greenery remains until late December. We offer warmer blanket for colder nights in January.
🌞 March to May (Summer 24°C - 36°C) : It's better to visit monuments early morning (from 8am) or afternoon (from 2:30pm) as the weather gets hot mid-day. The riverside is the best place to be as you often get a cool breeze from the Mekong. April is a month of festivities and it may get louder than usual. Tourism usually suddenly stops from the end of March as high heat begins.
🌧️ June to October (Green season 24°C - 32°C) : the most beautiful season as the vegetation becomes green. It rains a lot in September, apart from that it can be some rain each day or long periods of blue sky. If you can be flexible with your activities then this is the best season to get lower prices and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Champasak.
✅ The high season is good if you don't mind about tourism, the green season is good if you don't mind about unpredictable rain.
❌ Months to avoid are September (heavy rain) and April (hot and loud). We usually take that opportunity for bigger renovations or take some time out of Champasak.
