What you gain in September

  • Lowest hotel prices of the year: even the better Ao Nang properties at minimum rates
  • Krabi coast near-empty: Ao Nang's normally busy beach strip deserted, local restaurants quiet and unhurried
  • Krabi Town estuary and mangrove tours still possible on occasional calm mornings

What you sacrifice

  • 265mm of rainfall — the worst weather month on Krabi's Andaman coast; Railay effectively unreachable for most of the month
  • Boat services to Railay suspended for extended periods; some longtail operators stop running altogether until October
  • Many beach-side accommodation properties and tour operators partially close or operate skeleton service
