Best time to visit Krabi
Krabi is known for an Andaman dry window from November to April, when Railay boats and Hong days hold. May to October can still be a cheap Ao Nang room, but do not count on a morning boat you must take.

The Andaman calendar matches Phuket, and November to April is the sea for Railay, Hong, and Phi Phi. May to October is cheaper Ao Nang, chop, and cancelled longtails, and the KBV car is still 20 to 40 minutes and 400 to 800 THB.
If your dates are July, open when to go and look at the Gulf. Do not treat a Maya Bay day as fixed in September. Pair with monsoon notes.

Common questions
- Is August a bad Krabi month?
- It is a bad boat month. Ao Nang rooms still work. Railay can strand you.
- November or February?
- Both sit in the useful window. February is often drier. Book either early.
