Is March Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + March lands in the calm before the furnace, daytime peaks of 33°C (91°F) feel tolerable when the sea exhales across the coast, whereas April's 36°C+ (97°F+) turns the air into a wall you walk through.
- + Island boats keep to the full timetable. The Andaman's emerald water is so clear in March that 20 m (65 ft) of visibility is routine, a clarity the May plankton bloom will later erase.
- + Rubber trees bleed at first light, releasing the sweet-sour tang locals call the smell of money, pull over on Route 404 at dawn and you'll see latex drip into cups hooked to every trunk.
- + Shoulder-season rates still rule, beach bungalows that will triple once Songkran hits can be claimed with 48 hours' notice and a handshake.
- − Storms punch in at 2, 3 PM like clockwork, turning dirt roads to red slurry and emptying beaches. Expect a 20-minute cloudburst that dumps 30 mm (1.2 inches) before you can zip your bag.
- − By March the dry season is gasping its last, Ton Te and Than Sawk waterfalls shrink to silver threads, so if you need a jungle pool, reschedule for September.
- − The first rain coaxes sandflies from the sand. Their nearly invisible bite itches longer than any mosquito welt and can exile you from sunset beers on the shore.
Best Activities in March
Top things to do during your visit
High tide plus March's glass-clear water make the 80 m (262 ft) swim through the black tunnel into the hidden lagoon ideal, emerald water glows even under cloud, and you'll score 30, 45 minutes alone before tour kayaks converge. Sea state stays settled until late March winds stir it.
Pedal Kantang Road at 7 AM while March air is still cool; Portuguese-shuttered shophouses slide past and the century-old station dozes in shadow, while charcoal grills perfume the street with roti kaya and Tae Kha coffee shop exhales clove-laced roast.
March delivers the final month of mirror-flat seas, visibility at Koh Lipe's 8 Mile Rock hits 25 m (82 ft) and whale sharks cruise in as plankton clouds gather. The 1.5 hour (55 km/34 mile) run from Pak Meng Pier feels like skimming glass if you leave at 8 AM.
Evenings settle at 28°C (82°F), good for Trang's weekend night market that fires up at 6 PM, moo yang season is in full sizzle, the scent of roast pork drifting 200 m (656 ft) down the tracks, while stalls pile pineapple and rambutan harvested at plantation ripeness.
March's filtered sun throws theatrical shadows across Wat Khao Kop's cavernous prayer halls. Climb the 500 steps at 8 AM before the mercury climbs and the stalactites pose for photos in soft skylight.
