A comparison of 157 cities in Thailand by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 75 regions of Thailand by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.
The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the best city in Thailand for van life?
Sort cities by the VanSky column — the higher the score, the more comfortable today. Also check solar panel output and sea temperature if you plan to stay near the coast.
What does the VanSky score mean for a city?
A score from 0 to 100 reflects a composite weather assessment: thermal comfort, precipitation level, wind strength, and sunshine. 80+ is ideal, 60–79 is comfortable, 40–59 is acceptable, below 40 is challenging.
How often is data updated for Thailand?
Weather data for all cities in Thailand is updated several times a day from the Open-Meteo service based on real observations.

In Thailand, many drivers open the hood after returning home to speed up engine bay cooling. This practice can extend the life of rubber and plastic parts, reduce battery heat, and deter rodents. However, it also poses risks: accidental injury, faster wear of hydraulic hood struts, and debris accumulation. Modern vehicles are designed for high temperatures, so opening the hood is not necessary but may be beneficial in a secure, enclosed space.
A caravan of 400 Honda Gold Wing motorcycles with 550 participants from 12 countries visited Trang province as part of a three-day tour. The event, organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand in Kuala Lumpur and the Winger Camarderie Ride club, generated over 14 million baht for the local economy. The president of the Southern Hotel Association called it a positive signal for the region's tourism business, noting that such traveler groups have high spending and long stays.
