When is best time of year to travel to Thailand
We are going to Thailand,Cambodia, Laos and Hanoi next year. When is the best time to travel? Don't want the heat or the crowds. It seems that Nov- march are the best times but when in that time frame?
We are starting in Bangkok, then Angkor then Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang and finally Hanoi. Does that make sense given flights and connections?

It would make better flight sense to piece the trip together using nonstop flights. That can be done in this order...Bangkok - Chiang Mai - Luang Prabang - Siem Reap - Hanoi OR Bangkok - Chiang Mai - Siem Reap - Luang Prabang - Hanoi. www.bangkokair.com will be helpful. A Discovery Airpass will save you money.
Depending on how many days you have total, you may want to consider eliminating one or more destinations. A minimum of 3 full days in each place plus travel days between each place makes your proposed list a rushed 3 week trip. There is nowhere on your list that you could reasonably do fewer than 3 days, imo, but more than 3 days in each place would be very easy and nice. So if your time is limited, I recommend cutting stops rather than racing through.

For the best weather I would plan for travelling from mid December until mid January. This period will be the coolest and with the least humidity. As Kim said it will be the busiest time of year as well as being the most expensive for hotels.

It's not that humid, in Bangkok, when I'm there from mid December to the first week in January. When I've landed it has even been 65 degrees out with almost no humidity. I remember the pilot announcing the temperature. Many times during the three weeks I've been there it wasn't that humid. It was definitely manageable. Happy Travels!
