Where to go in 10월
동아시아에서 가장 안정적인 날씨이며, 단풍이 남쪽으로 내려오기 시작하는 달입니다.
10월은 동아시아를 잘 아는 사람들이 최고의 달로 꼽는 시기입니다. 태풍 시즌이 끝나고 공기가 건조하고 안정적이며, 북부에서는 단풍이 시작됩니다. 유럽에서는 가격이 많이 내려간 동시에 도시를 걸어 다닐 만큼 낮이 아직 충분히 밝습니다. 동남아시아는 우기의 끝자락으로 가격은 여전히 저렴하고 일부 지역에서는 날씨가 다시 좋아지기 시작합니다.

이번 달이 데이터 플랜에 미치는 영향
이달에는 단풍 때문에 사람들이 사진을 훨씬 더 많이 찍는데, 낮 동안 원본 해상도 사진을 계속 업로드하는 것이 예상 데이터량을 초과하게 만드는 가장 흔한 원인입니다. 사진 여행이라면 데이터를 넉넉히 잡거나 업로드는 숙소에 돌아간 뒤로 미루세요.
이번 달에는 피해야 할 것
베트남 중부는 여전히 폭풍철이며 태국 걸프 연안은 월말에 우기가 시작됩니다. 보트에 의존하는 계획이라면 예약 전에 해안 지역과 달을 잘 맞춰보세요.
Thai holidays in October and what they do to fares
October is the second big Thai travel month, because schools break for their mid-year holiday. In 2027 the Bank of Thailand list has King Bhumibol the Great Memorial Day on Wednesday 13 October and a substitute for King Chulalongkorn the Great Memorial Day on Monday 25 October, giving Saturday 23 to Monday 25 October off.
Japan and Korea are the top October choice for Thai families, and both are in autumn colour season. China's National Day holiday in the first week of October fills Chinese trains and Hong Kong, so treat 1 to 7 October as peak for any trip to China.

When to book for October
- Thai school-break trips to Japan and Korea are commonly booked three to five months ahead; the 23 to 25 October weekend and the Friday before it sell first.
- Autumn colour moves south through Japan and Korea, so a late-October trip can target Kyoto and Seoul's hills at their start rather than the busier mid-November peak.
- Avoid China and Hong Kong in the first week of October unless you want the holiday atmosphere.
- 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 October
Family trips change the maths: one parent sharing a hotspot with children's tablets uses more than each person on their own plan would expect. Either buy a plan that allows hotspot with room to spare, or give each phone its own smaller plan. For a ten-day Japan or Korea family trip, compare a 2 GB daily plan on one phone against separate plans on the plan pages. A photo-heavy autumn trip usually needs a size up.
Where to go in 10월
10월에 단풍을 볼 수 있는 곳은 어디인가요?+
일본 북부와 한국에서 시작해 그 달 내내 남쪽으로 이동합니다; 남부의 대도시들은 보통 11월에 절정을 맞습니다.
유럽은 여전히 걸어다닐 만한가요?+
가능합니다. 특히 남부는 따뜻하고 건조한 날씨가 이어집니다. 북부는 낮이 빠르게 짧아지므로 야외 일정은 오전부터 이른 오후 사이에 넣어두세요.
사진 여행에는 데이터가 얼마나 필요한가요?+
낮 동안 업로드를 하는지에 따라 다릅니다. 매일 원본 해상도 이미지를 전송한다면 일반 여행보다 한 단계 큰 용량을 선택하거나, 먼저 데이터 예상 도구로 계산해 보세요.
Which October 2027 days are Thai holidays?+
Wednesday 13 October (King Bhumibol the Great Memorial Day) and Monday 25 October (substitute for King Chulalongkorn the Great Memorial Day on Saturday 23 October), on the Bank of Thailand list.

Under the Thailand and China mutual exemption in force since March 2024, ordinary passport holders can stay up to 30 days per entry. Confirm with the Chinese embassy in Bangkok before going.

On popular routes there is signal in many villages, but it drops between them and at high camps. Download maps before leaving Kathmandu or Pokhara.
Is Australia a good October trip for Thais?+
Weather-wise yes, as spring covers most of the country. Thai passport holders need a Visitor visa (subclass 600), so apply well before the school break.
