Rainy Day Food Guide in Ao Nang

Embracing the Rain in Ao Nang

The southwest monsoon season brings warm heavy rain to Krabi between May and October. But seasoned travellers know that a rainy afternoon is actually a perfect excuse for a long, relaxed lunch or dinner — without the heat of the midday sun.

The Best Rainy Day Comfort Foods

Tom Yum Goong — Hot and Sour Prawn Soup

Steaming bowls of Tom Yum are especially satisfying when the rain is drumming outside. The combination of lemongrass, galangal, lime and fresh prawns is warming without being heavy.

Massaman Curry

Rich, slow-cooked and deeply comforting — Massaman is the perfect rainy day curry. It is also one of Thailand's mildest curries, making it accessible even if you avoid spicy food.

Pad Thai and Noodle Dishes

Stir-fried noodles are endlessly satisfying on a cool, rainy afternoon. Order Pad Thai or Pad See Ew and settle in for a long, lazy meal.

Rainy Day Dining Tips
