Koh Phi Phi in June

Not the best time

Monsoon season hits hard with constant rain and rough seas. Rock-bottom prices, but many businesses close and you'll be stuck indoors a lot.

Weather

Southwest monsoon arrives with heavy rain, high winds, and rough seas. Humidity stays brutal at 85-90% and storms can last for hours.

June Tips

  • Many restaurants and tour operators close completely
  • Ferry services get cancelled frequently due to rough seas
  • If you do visit, stay near Tonsai Bay which is more sheltered

All Months

November through April is your sweet spot — dry skies, calm seas, and temperatures that hover around 30°C. December and January are peak season, which means higher prices but also the best weather for boat trips. The monsoon hits hard from May to October, and I mean hard. Boats to Maya Bay get cancelled, some restaurants close, and accommodation drops to half price for good reason. But here's a contrarian take: late October can be brilliant if you time it right between storm systems. You'll have the islands mostly to yourself. Just check the weather forecast obsessively and have backup plans.
