Krabi Weather & Climate

Cool

The best time to visit Krabi is November to March when temperatures average 28C and cool breezes keep things comfortable.

Hot

The hottest time is April - May, with temperatures ranging from 80ºF to 95ºF (27ºC up to 36ºC). There are frequent short heavy thundery showers, offering welcome relief from the high temperatures and humidity.

The Thai New Year (Songkran) occurs on April 13th and 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 a little less expensive at this time of year, as well. Temperatures range between 70ºF and 90ºF (20ºC to 33ºC).

Wet

During September and early October we bring out our umbrellas. One consolation is that the beaches, outdoor restaurants and streets are relatively uncluttered by visitors and even at this time there are still long intervals of sunshine between the heavy showers. Anyway, plenty of low season activities, both water- and land-based, are still available in Krabi during this wettest part of the summer season.
