Rain can often feel like a damper on your travel plans. When we go to beaches, we chase the sun. When we tour cities, we hope for cloudless days.
But sometimes, rain reveals an entirely different beauty that a sunny day won’t show. Rainy days bring a slower rhythm, a softer tone, and a different lens through which to see the world. And aren’t we traveling to experience all that?
When you #KnowBeforeYouGo, you can adjust your travel plans and still make the most out of it, no matter the weather. These six international destinations prove that even in the rain, you can still find wonder.

Thailand’s wet season (roughly May to October) brings life to its lush jungles and waterfalls. While beach trips may require some timing, the rain tends to fall in bursts, leaving plenty of time to explore. One advantage of traveling to Thailand during this season? It’s off-peak. So, chances are there are fewer crowds and more affordable stays.

Malaysia sees rainfall almost year-round, especially on the east coast during the monsoon season on from November to February. But the west coast, Penang, Langkawi, and Kuala Lumpur, often enjoys lighter showers. Most of the time, rains are fleeting in Malaysia and you’ll still have plenty of time to explore the outdoors when it stops.

Those showers are what keep the island vibrant and lush. Rain here rarely lasts all day and often results in stunning rainbows and waterfalls.
