The province of Krabi is embraced by the waters of the Andaman Sea, which is an integral part of the Indian Ocean. This sea is both deep and can be quite unpredictable. Throughout the year, the water temperature in the Andaman Sea remains comfortably above +25°C.
The warmest seawater temperatures are typically experienced from March to May, during the tropical summer season. It is during these months that the Andaman Sea reaches its zenith, with temperatures soaring to around +35°C.
The ideal time for seaside enjoyment is from January to February. During these months, air humidity is relatively low, the weather is serene with little wind, and the Andaman Sea is calm and beckoning for beachgoers and swimmers. The temperature of the Andaman Sea in this period hovers around +28-30°C.
March and April are generally peaceful months, but the temperature begins to rise. April, in particular, stands out as the hottest month in Krabi.
The presence of numerous offshore islands serves as a protective barrier for Krabi's mainland coastline, shielding it from the aggressive waves of the unpredictable Andaman Sea. Wave heights in Krabi rarely exceed 1 meter, and the gentle seabed makes it suitable for those less confident in the water.
