Português (PT)Where to go in 2월
가장 짧은 달에 가장 많은 축제가 몰려 있으며, 동남아시아가 여전히 선선하게 느껴지는 마지막 달이기도 합니다.
2월은 아시아에서 축제가 가장 밀집된 시기입니다. 음력 설로 여러 나라가 일주일 동안 한꺼번에 이동하며, 동남아시아는 아직 건조하고 그다음 달만큼 덥지 않습니다. 유럽은 여전히 춥지만 숙박비는 일 년 중 가장 낮아서, 짧은 낮 시간이 크게 신경 쓰이지 않는다면 도시 여행에 좋은 달입니다.
이번 달에 어울리는 여행지 8곳
멕시코
전국적으로 건조합니다: 카리브 해안이 가장 좋은 상태이고 중앙 고원 지대는 쾌적하게 선선합니다. 이번 달에는 비를 한 번도 만나지 않고 지역을 넘나들 수 있습니다.

음력 설 주간에는 축제 지역의 네트워크가 특히 큰 밤에 순간적으로 혼잡해집니다: 인파 속에서 실시간 업로드는 신호가 완전히 잡혀도 느려질 수 있습니다. 효과적인 방법은 먼저 촬영해두고 인파를 벗어난 뒤 업로드하는 것입니다.
이번 달에는 피해야 할 것
축제 때문에 가는 것이 아니라면 중국, 대만, 베트남, 한국의 설 연휴 주간은 피하세요. 국내 교통편이 매진되고 많은 업체가 며칠씩 문을 닫습니다.
Thai holidays in February and what they do to fares
In 2027 Makha Bucha falls on Sunday 21 February, and the Bank of Thailand list gives Monday 22 February as the substitute holiday, so there is a Saturday to Monday long weekend. Short-haul fares from Bangkok to Hanoi, Taipei and Hong Kong rise for the Friday evening and Monday evening flights around it.
Lunar new year is not a national Thai holiday, but it moves the whole region: Hong Kong's gazetted 2027 holidays put Lunar New Year's Day on Saturday 6 February. Thai families of Chinese descent travel that week too, and flights to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam are priced as peak. Banks in Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala, Satun and Songkhla close for Chinese New Year when it falls on a weekday, per the Bank of Thailand.
Visa notes for Thai passport holders in February
These are the entry rules for the places this page recommends. Rules change, so confirm on the official page before you pay for flights.
- Taiwan: Thai passport holders are visa-exempt for up to 14 days under a trial that Taiwan's consular bureau lists as effective until 31 July 2027, and must be able to show a hotel booking, a contact in Taiwan and enough travel funds. https://www.boca.gov.tw/cp-149-4486-7785a-2.html
- Japan: Thai ordinary passports are visa-exempt for short stays of up to 15 days; a longer trip needs a visa from the Embassy of Japan. Immigration rules: https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/index.html
- South Korea: short visits are visa-free, but Thai passport holders must hold an approved K-ETA before boarding unless an exemption is announced. Apply only on the official site: https://www.k-eta.go.kr
- Egypt: check the visa options for Thai passports on the official e-Visa portal, and avoid look-alike agency sites. https://www.visa2egypt.gov.eg/
- Anywhere else on this page: check the country's embassy in Bangkok or its official e-visa portal, starting from the Thai Department of Consular Affairs. https://consular.mfa.go.th

When to book for February
- If the trip overlaps lunar new year week, book flights and rooms as early as you would for Songkran; outside that week, February is one of the easier months to find seats from Bangkok.
- For the Makha Bucha long weekend, short-haul seats on the Friday evening go first. Leaving on the Saturday morning or taking one day of leave on the Friday usually costs less than the Friday night flight.
- Taiwan's visa exemption for Thais requires a hotel booking at the border, so book a refundable room before you fly even if you plan to move around.
- Buy and install the eSIM at home in the days before departure; most plans in our catalogue only start counting days on first connection at the destination, which the plan page states.
Data needs in February
Festival nights are the data trap this month: crowded districts in Taipei, Hong Kong or Seoul can slow uploads even with full bars. Plans themselves are not the issue, so a mid-size daily plan of 1 GB to 2 GB a day suits most city trips. A Hokkaido ski trip or an Egypt tour with long coach transfers needs less, while a Mexico road trip needs more.
Where to go in 2월
음력설은 언제인가요?+
매년 음력에 따라 날짜가 바뀌며 1월 말에서 2월 중순 사이에 옵니다. 그 영향이 일주일 내내 이어지니 예약 전에 그 해 날짜를 확인하세요.
이 달에 유럽은 갈 가치가 있나요?+
도심 여행이라면 좋습니다. 숙박 요금이 연중 가장 저렴하고 박물관 대기 줄도 가장 짧습니다. 다만 해가 짧고 일부 야외 명소는 이 시기에 문을 닫습니다.
축제 주간에는 무엇을 준비해야 하나요?+
숙소와 국내 교통편은 평소보다 더 일찍 예약하고, 출발 전에 요금제를 미리 활성화하세요 — 연휴 기간에는 많은 서비스 창구가 문을 닫습니다.
Is there a Thai long weekend in February 2027?+
Yes. Makha Bucha falls on Sunday 21 February and the substitute holiday is Monday 22 February, according to the Bank of Thailand's list.
What documents do Thais need for visa-free Taiwan?+
A passport, a confirmed onward or return ticket, a hotel booking, a contact in Taiwan and proof of enough funds. The stay is up to 14 days and cannot be extended.
Does a Korea trip in February need K-ETA?+
Thai passport holders entering visa-free need an approved K-ETA unless an exemption is in force. Apply on k-eta.go.kr at least a few days before flying, not on the day.
Will my eSIM work during festival crowds?+
It stays connected, but every phone in the crowd shares the same cell, so speeds drop. Send big files from the hotel and keep messaging for the street.
