The sweet-spot months
November to April brings warm, dry, sunny weather and calm seas ideal for island-hopping and the beaches — the prime time to visit Krabi.
Dry season (Nov–Apr)
Warm, dry and sunny with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi, the islands and snorkelling; the best and busiest season.
Hot (Mar–Apr)
The hottest months, still dry and great for the water, with clear seas before the rains.
Rainy (May–Oct)
Warm with heavier showers and rougher seas; some boat trips may be limited, but it’s green, quieter and cheaper.
Best for islands
The November–April dry season has the calmest seas and clearest water for Phi Phi and island-hopping.

One day
A Phi Phi or 4 Islands speedboat tour.
Two days
Add a second island-hop or Hong Islands.
Three days
The sweet spot: Phi Phi, the islands, and the jungle.
