Krabi Weather

The best time to visit Krabi is in the high season, which normally runs from November to March. That's when the weather is generally great, with temperatures averaging 28°C and with cool breezes that keep things comfortable. However, do note that a few rainy days may still occur in November and March.

The hottest months in Krabi are April and May, with temperatures ranging from 27°C up to 36°C (80°F to 95°F). You will also most likely witness frequent but short and heavy thundery showers during this period. Even so, they offer a welcome relief from the high temperatures and humidity.

The Thai New Year (Songkran) occurs on April 13th to 15th when everyone sprinkles (or throws) cool water on each other. Locals enjoy June, July and August since the weather is usually fine and favourite haunts remain uncrowded. The usual pattern is brief with heavy showers and plenty of sunshine between downpours. Everything is also a little less expensive at this time of year. Temperatures range between 20ºC to 33°C (70°F and 90°F).

The monsoon/low/wet season in Krabi lasts from June to October. Raincoats and umbrellas are mandatory during September and October, which are the wettest months of the year. One consolation is that hotel rates are really on the low side, and the beaches, outdoor restaurants and streets are uncrowded. This makes Krabi even more relaxing.

On the bright side, even at this time of year you still can expect long intervals of sunshine between downpours. In any case, plenty of low-season activities remains available in Krabi during the monsoon.
