What you gain in August
- ↑Ultra-low hotel rates persist in Ao Nang: 4-star properties at 2-star prices for those unbothered by rain
- ↑Krabi Town's local food scene fully operational with not a tour group in sight
- ↑Mangrove kayaking tours sometimes run on calmer morning windows between the heavy rain spells
What you sacrifice
- ↓235mm of rainfall with rough sea conditions continuing throughout: the Andaman's worst sustained weather window
- ↓Railay Beach boat transfers dependent on daily sea state — cancellation possible at any time, making overnight stays risky
- ↓Rock climbing wall on Railay East remains slippery and off-limits; check operators are open before travelling for this purpose
