What is Krabi like in:

April

Songkran means that April is one of the most fun times of the year in Thailand. In Krabi its a three day water fight. 1 days warm up (cool down) and then 2 days of total waterfight mayhem. The are is made into one giant 10 km circuit around which cars and trucks loaded with water do battle with the pedestrians. Its all done in a very good spirit and even wth young children, this is just simple cheap good fun. The weather in April is hot and there can be the occasional thunderstorm. The sun is strong so always use plenty of suncream especially when in the sea or on a motorbike.

March

The weather getting warmer and a little bit stormy at times. The storms tend to only last for short but heavy showers and can be very refreshing. All of the tours run as normal though. It's also the start of the school holidays in the middle of the month which means it is the beginning of the holiday season for Thai families although most prefer to take holidays over Songkran in April.

February

February in Krabi is time to wind down a little. It's starting to get warmer, and traditionally it's the dryest month of the year (although hasn't seemed like that for the last two years). But its still a great time to visit all the sights. Now that high season is starting to wind down, its very unlikely that anywhere will be crowded and the hotels should have rooms even at short notice.

January

January in Krabi continues on with the high season. The weather has now settled into the perfect mixture of hot clear days, low tides and already, the evenings are just beginning to warm up a little. January also has the lowest average rainfall for any month in the year in Krabi. Krabi is not the same as the rest of Thailand for rainfall. There is still a chance that you will get a few showers or even a downpour, but its very unlikely to last more than an hour or so. January in Krabi is also when the local people are perhaps their happiest, they have now got into the high season routine, and all the teething problems have been sorted out, so they all relax into it bring out those famous Thai Smiles.

December

December in Krabi is the most popular time of the year and for good reason. Beautiful clear skies, sunny days and slightly cooler evenings. The whole of Krabi just buzzes with excitement as Christmas approaches. December is also a fantastic time for diving, the calmer water makes for the best visibility and the cooler weather seems to bring the marine world to its sparkling best.

November

November in Krabi is one of the most pleasent times to visit. The high season has not really picked up so there is plenty of space, the weather is fantastic, clear blue skies and puffy white clouds and the occasional thunderstorm to clear the air. For photographers this makes a winning combination as the air is clean and clear and the views are at their best. For Divers and krabi watersports lovers, the water is clean and clear without any large waves to stir things up.
