The official "High Season" on Thailands West Coast goes from November untill April. However, during the month of November and December in might be raining on some days.
Here is an overview over the general weather conditions over the year in Ao Nang:
- January - March : mostly dry, no wind and waves on the beach, blue sky and sunny
- April: By the middle of this month is the time when the monsun wind changes direction. It starts raining and there will be waves at the beach.
- May: Just like the second half of April: rainy and windy.
- June - September: Mostly sunny but rain showers on some days. Sometimes cloudy and waves at the beach.
- October By the middle of this month is the time when the monsun wind will turn arround once again. Weather will change very often during this time with long and heavy rain showers. However, during this time, the weather is still a lot better in Ao Nang than on Thailand's East Coast (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao) where the hefty rain usually causes flooding and landslides.
- November: Start of the High Season in Ao Nang but it might still be raining on some days until middle of December.
- December: By the middle of this month weather turns dry but be prepared for some rain during the first half of the month.
Reading this, you will come to the conclusion that the best time of travel to Ao Nang should be from January till the middle of April. If you want to enjoy empty beaches and low prices in the hotels however, you might want to consider the month of June untill September for your holiday in Ao Nang.
