June trade-offs
- ↓215mm of rainfall with heavy daily downpours, often multi-hour: outdoor plans consistently disrupted
- ↓Longtail boat service to Railay severely curtailed — the beach is technically reachable on calm days but service is unreliable
- ↓Rock climbing completely off: all operators on Railay East wall closed for the wet season; wet limestone is dangerous
March trade-offs
- ↓Temperatures rising toward 34°C with increasing humidity: midday on the beach or mid-route rock climb becomes genuinely hot
- ↓Some Ao Nang hotel rates remain elevated through Thai school holiday weeks in late March
- ↓Sea conditions beginning to shift toward month end — occasional swell precedes the approaching monsoon
