Krabi experiences great weather all year long, so it doesn’t really matter when you choose to visit; you’re in for a great vacation. The average temperature all year long is 27 °C. Krabi, like most tropical regions, experiences two seasons – a wet and dry season. It gets very busy over Chinese New Year, in February, as this brings in lots of tourist and elevated hotel and flight prices. The rainy season falls between May and November, and as it is off peak season, you’re more likely to find better deals on flights and accommodation.

Krabi is quite safe, but as it is a busy tourist location, caution should always be applied. It is not advisable to walk the beaches at night, especially on your own. Also, if drinking, please take care and only drink at well-established bars and restaurants. Other than this, be aware of your surroundings and you will have a fantastic time.
It is always important to have your vaccines up to date when you are travelling. When visiting Thailand, it is recommended to get a vaccination for hepatitis A, as you will most likely be eating food that is unfamiliar. You should get a shot for typhoid if you’ll be doing any trips to smaller, more rural areas of the country. Other vaccines that are recommended are hepatitis B, yellow fever, malaria and rabies.
