Getting there and around
Pathum Thani has no airport of its own; most travellers arrive via Bangkok's Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi airports and continue by road. The province is crossed by major highways and by the northern railway line, with commuter trains stopping at stations such as Rangsit. Public buses and taxis connect the districts with each other and with northern Bangkok, while songthaews and motorcycle taxis cover shorter local trips. A car is useful for reaching spread-out sites and industrial estates.
When to go
The cool season, from November to February, is the most comfortable time to visit, with lower humidity and less rain. March to May is hot, and the southwest monsoon brings frequent rain from roughly May to October. Pathum Thani has no beach season, so travel is mostly dictated by work or study calendars rather than weather. Temple fairs and Thai festival dates vary by year.
