Best Time to Visit

  • Peak Season (November to February): This is the most popular time to visit Krabi due to the pleasant weather, with cool breezes and minimal rain. Expect higher prices for family rooms and activities, as many flock to the area during school holidays.
  • Shoulder Season (March to May): Visiting during this time means fewer crowds and more affordable rates. The weather is still warm, but temperatures can get quite hot, especially in April. It’s a great option for families looking to save while still enjoying sunny days.
  • Rainy Season (June to October): This period brings frequent rain and occasional storms, but it also offers the best deals on hotels. If you don’t mind some wet weather, you can find significant discounts, and the lush greenery is beautiful during this time.
  • Consider Local Holidays: Keep an eye on Thai holidays and festivals, as these can affect prices and availability. Planning around local events can provide unique experiences but may also mean busier resorts.
