Best time to visit Krabi

Thailand · 20-year averages

February is the best month in Krabi, scoring 79 out of 100, with April the weakest at 47. The 32-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only that one month come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

March is the warmest month at 30.9 °C and September the coolest at 28.3 °C — a 2.6 °C spread across the year. Around 65 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in March and the months either side.

There is a real wet season here. May, July, September, October and November carry the rain — up to 29 wet days in a month — while January to March drop as low as 5. That 24-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Krabi, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea never drops below 28.6 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 12.6 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.

The three strongest months are February, January, March. The one to think twice about is April. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
