When to go to Sail Rock (Hin Bai)
Month by month, following the seasons from our research. Weather, waves, current and tide on the day itself decide whether it works.
Main season: February, March, April, May.
Koh Tao and Koh Phangan: February–May is a strong general starting point. Suitable conditions can also occur in summer; pick the sheltered side of the island on the day itself. Later in the year the Gulf rainy season can have more influence.
