Krabi Geography
Krabi is a port town in the southwest of Thailand. It is situated on the Strait of Malacca on the Andaman Sea, and is a departure point for fishing and travel to nearby islands – of which there are over 154 in the province. The province of Phuket is to the west across the Phang Nga Bay. The seat of the provincial government is in Kabi.
Most settlements in Krabi are coastal fishing villages. The surrounding region of Krabi is largely planted with coconuts, and the area is also littered with limestone peaks.
The region is full of immense natural beauty including shell reefs, beaches, botanical gardens, underground streams, and caves. Krabi has many limestone hills – their caves contain many stalagmites and stalactites. Two caves even have prehistoric rock-paintings depicting humans and animals.
Palm plantations cover over half of the province’s farmland, with rubber plantations making up most of the rest.

Weather in Krabi
Like much of the rest of Thailand, Pattaya has a tropical wet and dry climate, which is divided into seasons.
It is hot year-round, with the average temperature never dropping below 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit). The dry season in Krabi runs roughly from December to April – the hot season lasts for about 2 months, between February and April. Daily temperatures regularly exceed 34 degrees Celsius (93 Fahrenheit).
During this time the air is very dry and there is little precipitation, and it is less humid – though still over 60 per cent on average.
There is lots of sunshine in this season. These are the best times to visit as a tourist, as not only is there less rain and more sun but the cooler air also brings a refreshing breeze with it.
The rainy season is caused by the southwest monsoon, and runs from May to October in Krabi. During these months it will rain almost every day, usually heavily in the afternoon and evening, and thunderstorms and hurricanes are common.
Towards the end of the southeast monsoon season, in roughly October and November, the amount of rainfall is at its greatest.
In November and December, before the dry season begins, there can still be quite a lot of rainfall and thunderstorms. This is caused either by a delay in the retreat of the monsoon or because of a tropical cyclone.
