In January, you can use both domestic flights within Thailand and long-distance trains or buses for travel from Thailand to neighboring countries. Choose the mode that suits your itinerary best.

on What kind of transport can I use for a trip to Thailand in January?

Pack layers, a raincoat, and comfortable shoes since Taiwan can be hot and humid but also has some cool, mountainous areas. Remember, no cameras are allowed in the Presidential Palace to protect historical artifacts.
