Honeymoon in Thailand (June 15–23): Krabi vs Phuket — will monsoon ruin island hopping?

Hi everyone,

Planning our honeymoon in Thailand and need some advice from people who’ve been there, especially during June.

Context:

  • Travel dates in Thailand: June 15–23
  • We’re doing Singapore first, then Krabi/Phuket, then Bangkok
  • For the beach/island part, we’re trying to decide between Krabi and Phuket (open to other suggestions too)
  • We’re looking for a mix of relaxation + sightseeing
  • Big priority: island hopping (this is something I’m really excited about - phi phi, railey etc)
  • Honeymoon, so scenic/romantic vibes matter too

My biggest concern is weather.

I know June is monsoon season on the Andaman side.
If we choose Krabi, how worried should we be?

  • Does it usually rain all day, or is it more short showers?
  • Do island hopping tours (Hong Islands / Phi Phi / 4 islands) often get cancelled?
  • Is there a real chance that all our plans get ruined because of weather?
  • Would Phuket be a safer choice, or is weather basically the same there?
  • Someone suggested Koh Samui, but I'm kinda invested in Krabi mentally, and having a hard time letting it go.

Would love to hear from anyone who has been to Krabi or Phuket in mid-June and how your experience was.

Thanks!
