Krabi Weather in November

November weather

November in Krabi is warm and very damp. Highs reach 29°C, and humidity sits at 87%, so even a short walk around Ao Nang can feel sticky. Rain falls on 27 days, with 2.3 hours of sun a day on average. Showers can interrupt beach time, and cloudy skies may soften those famous limestone views.

You can still explore Krabi Town's markets or visit the Emerald Pool when the weather allows. But don't count on calm seas for every boat trip. Heavy rain can make island hopping less comfortable, so keep a flexible day for Railay instead.

Loy Krathong and local plans

Loy Krathong usually falls in November, though its date changes each year. People set small decorated floats, called krathongs, onto water to mark the full moon. Look for celebrations around Krabi Town, but local events can vary.

Travelling with kids? A rainy spell is a good time to take a break from the beach and try roti, a sweet or savoury Thai pancake, near Ao Nang.

Crowds and practical tips

November is a shoulder month: wetter and generally quieter than the busy December-to-February stretch, but livelier than October as the high season begins. Rain drops from October's 307 mm to 262 mm, yet it's still a damp month. Rates may start to rise as more visitors arrive, while December is usually drier.

If you hate crowds, November can suit you better than the peak months, as long as you're relaxed about weather changes. For Railay, take the longtail boat from Ao Nang when the sea is settled. Ask locally about conditions before setting off; rough water can make the crossing unpleasant.
