Thailand in March

Thailand in March 2021 will traditionally be the number 1 choice of our compatriots who pack their bags for a beach vacation. Of course, this is a month of interesting festivals, all kinds of fairs, various sales. But the main thing is that the weather in Thailand in March is dry, warm and sunny, only occasionally interrupted by short-term rains. For example, in Phuket in March, no more than six rainy days are celebrated, on Koh Samui or Pattaya even less. Still, the first month of spring can still be called a season.
The big advantage of a holiday in this country is the ability to visit it without a visa. Plus, a relatively budgetary set of delights - Thai massage, tom-yum and pad-thai, fruits. 🙂
- Where to fly to rest in Thailand in March? Tour prices vary depending on the resort - 10 days in Pattaya start at 75,000 rubles for two, in Phuket - from 82,000 rubles
Sri Lanka
Colorful nature, azure-turquoise waters of the recalcitrant ocean, the remains of ancient cities and numerous architectural monuments - all this is about the island of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka in March 2021 pleases with excellent weather conditions with almost complete absence of precipitation. As for prices, the expensive flight is compensated by food and accommodation. But on the last point - housing - pay attention, often cheap means angry.
We strongly advise you to dilute your holiday in March in Sri Lanka with water sports. Where, if not here, to start the path to the conquest of surfer heights? And for more passive tourists, we suggest joining Ayurveda - the famous ancient system aimed at rejuvenating the human body and saturating it with energy and vigor. For many, a trip to the island does not go without a visit to Hikkaduwa.
- Vouchers to Sri Lanka, where you can relax in March quite democratically, cost from 78,000 rubles for two people per week. The visa is now free!
Dominican Republic
Where to go on a seaside vacation in March, if the list of requirements includes a vacation on the territory of a 5 * hotel with an all-inclusive program? Follow to the Dominican Republic!
The tourist season is just ending at the resort. This period is most favorable for beach lovers: the weather in March is warm, but not breathtakingly hot, the sea is calm, without storms and typhoons.
In case you get bored with sunbathing and swimming - is this even real? 🙂 - you can go for a couple of excursions. For example, to humpback whales or to a tobacco farm.

Tours to Vietnam in March are not only a typical pastime on the beach, but also diving, kite and windsurfing, mud and mineral water treatment.
Looking for an adventurous adventure? The place of stormy night rest has always been Nha Trang. In early March, tourists will find numerous restaurants with local exotic food, clubs with entertainment programs, massage parlors. The weather is also favorable: warm sunny days are only occasionally darkened by light rains.
- Where to go in Vietnam in March? The most expensive destination here is Phu Quoc Island, where 10 days will cost from 110,000 rubles for two. A package vacation in Nha Trang, Phan Thiet and Vung Tau is acceptable - from 90,000 rubles

And although March-April are considered off-season months, and precipitation is possible at the beginning, the weather in general is quite pleasant and warm, especially if you compare it with the Russian slush. 🙂 The water temperature reaches + 28 ° C, the fresh light breeze lightens the heat of the day. During this period, there are still no crowds of tourists in Bali, so the atmosphere will be intimate. We devoted a whole article to prices on the island after our wintering.
- Still, the island is not a resort where you can have a budget vacation in March. For 10 days on the voucher you will have to spend from 120,000 rubles for two

How we rest on March 8, 2021
Since travel this month, most often, is tied to the holiday weekend, let's see how we rest on March 8, 2021. Russians will be "celebrating" for three days (from 6th to 8th), and thus, a beach holiday abroad in March becomes quite real! You can take a day off, or go on a weekend tour (2-3 nights). By the way, a good gift 😉
The next question is where to rest? In March, the imagination, longing for bright landscapes and warm winds, draws distant tropical countries - the secluded Maldives, magical Bali, surfer Sri Lanka. For those who want to warm up and not ruin the budget, there is an opportunity to spend an inexpensive vacation on the warm sea of Vietnam.
And where to go on vacation in March 2021 for those tourists who want not only to soak up the beach, but also actively hang out? The answer is obvious: to Thailand, where there are waves, and sand, and special streets with a bunch of nightclubs and shows of various kinds of depravity. 🙂
It is better to plan a beach vacation in March 2021 at sea with children in the UAE or Jordan. At this time, it is not as hot as in summer, and it is comfortable for visiting excursions, picturesque parks and entertainment places, as well as for shopping.
