Hi Heather, good question!  I think my preference is the rainy season just before high season…so September or October.  Once November hits it’s high season and the rates all go up.  In September and October you still get low season rates,  but it isn’t as hot as April or May.  The other plus side about this time is that it’s one of the most beautiful times in Southeast Asia as everything is green and lush and the ponds and rice paddies are full of water. The downside is that travel to more rural areas can be a bit tricky as dirt roads quickly become mud bogs and you do need to have a flexible schedule in case a rain storm blows in. We’ve had quite a few honeymoons during September and it’s a great time…explore in the morning and head to your room in the afternoon for some hard hugging during the rain:)
