About This Guide
Christmas in Krabi is a winter-sun trip rather than a festive one. December is the start of the dry season and the high season, with calm seas, good visibility and little rain. Thailand's main celebration is New Year, so Christmas is mostly marked by resort dinners and decorations.
December highs are about 31°C (88°F) and lows about 24°C (75°F), with about 6 rainy days and roughly 60 mm of rain. Sea temperature is about 29°C (84°F).
