Select from the drop-down menu below for even more information on the best months to visit and how you might get there.
WEATHER IN KOH KOOD:
HIGH SEASON The high season on Koh Kood is from November - February. November being the shoulder season start to the dry season and a great time to go if you want slightly cheaper accommodation but still relatively good weather. During high season the seas are calm for water sports/swimming, the humidity is low and being the dry season less rain.
LOW SEASON
The low season is from around July to September. This is the rainy season with rough seas, storms, high humidity, and plenty of rain. If you want the cheapest accommodation this is the time to go with the least favorable weather conditions. The pro of the monsoon season is seeing Koh Kood turn into an abundant green landscape. A con to note is that rougher seas may mean the ferry schedule is affected.

Just a heads up:
Please note that some of the links here are affiliate links (to be safe assume all). This helps me to be able to spend more time giving you great hotel recommendations. There is no cost to you but means I get a small commission from every booking made. If you plan to book through these sites anyway it would be much appreciated - but hope in the very least, you found somewhere to stay that you might not have otherwise. Thanks, Kirrily 😊
