What is known about the Andaman Sea?
Thailand © pixabay.comThe Andaman Sea, located between the eastern coast of India, Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaysia, is known for its warm tropical waters, making it an excellent destination for swimming and water activities. Throughout the year, sea temperatures remain consistently high, typically ranging from 81–88°F (27–31°C), with the warmest waters occurring between March and May. The beaches of Thailand’s Phuket, Krabi, and the Andaman Islands offer ideal swimming conditions with calm, crystal-clear waters, making them perfect for snorkeling and diving as well.
Even during the monsoon season, from June to October, the Andaman Sea stays warm, with temperatures rarely dropping below 80°F (27°C). However, strong waves and unpredictable weather can make swimming riskier during this period, especially in more exposed coastal areas. The best time for swimming is from November to April when the sea is at its calmest, and visibility for diving is at its peak. Overall, the Andaman Sea is one of the best places for year-round swimming, offering warm waters, beautiful beaches, and rich marine life for travelers seeking tropical seaside experiences.
