Honeymoon Photoshoot in Thailand

Most sessions run between forty-five minutes and two hours. In Thailand the time of day matters more than the length: the sun rises and sets between roughly six and seven o'clock all year, the soft light lasts only a short while because the sun climbs fast, and by mid-morning heat and hard overhead light take over. An hour that starts at sunrise or ends at sunset usually gives more than two hours at noon. The photographer's packages on their profile say exactly what each length includes.

Roughly: November to April, the Andaman coast — Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi, Khao Lak, Koh Lanta. Mid-May to mid-October is its rainy season, wettest in September, and some places close: the Similan Islands off Khao Lak shut from mid-May to mid-October, and Maya Bay on Phi Phi has closed every August and September in recent years. Through the middle of the year the Gulf islands — Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao — are the drier choice; they get their heaviest rain from October to December. For mountains and temples, Chiang Mai is most comfortable from about November to January, before the smoke season that usually runs from February into April.
