The Weather and Booking Accommodation In Koh Lanta |
November to May is peak tourist season and the best time to book a resort in Koh Lanta if weather is the main consideration. Late May to the end of October is the cool or rainy season seeing regular rainfall. Underwater visibility during this time is not always all that good, so if scuba diving in Thailand is part of your plans, keep this in mind.
However, this is not exactly European winters we are talking about and if you are not here for the exclusive purpose of scuba diving and can handle a few showers every now and again, it is still a good time to visit. The advantage of visiting during the rainy season is that there will be less tourists during this “tourist low season” and the best hotels in Koh Lanta prices are less than during peak season.
Temperatures on Koh Lanta is fairly stable all year round with maximum temperatures averaging 30 to 34 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures averaging 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. Water temperatures can be expected to be around 28 degrees. The climate and weather on Koh Lanta is tropical and predicting the weather in tropical conditions is always difficult. You may visit Koh Lanta for a week in the rainy season and only see sunny skies, while you may have a shower or two during the dry season. Many people do in fact like the cooling effect of a few showers to freshen things up. The best time to visit therefore depends on your personal preference. |
