We will introduce you to the climatic features throughout the year. Your attention is provided with detailed information about weather conditions, the beginning of the rainy season, and we will also tell you when you can see an unforgettable sunset and taste exotic fruits.

Traveler opinions will help you decide on the best time to visit Phuket.

High season in Phuket

The best season to relax on the Phuket coast is the period from November to May. Comfortable temperature, lack of precipitation, consistently sunny days, all this creates the best conditions for travel.

Rainy season in Phuket

In May, the season of tropical showers, stormy winds and raging seas begins, which lasts until July. Gradually, by September, the rains subside, sometimes there are sunny days, but quite rarely. Beach holidays during this period are in a state of calm. Bathing is prohibited, because. underwater currents and jellyfish appear off the coast, and the sea itself is constantly stormy. Strong humidity, heat and unbearable stuffiness have a bad effect on the general well-being of travelers, especially children and the elderly.

When is the best time to visit Phuket?

The best time for families with children is from December to March. A good time falls in April or May, and we also recommend relaxing in October and November. And although these months are considered not ideal for travel due to unstable weather, you can still have a great vacation.

January
Weather: January is a time of warm winds, which contribute to comfortable weather with low humidity. Sea waves delight with pleasant sensations.

Reviews of tourists: January is considered the most suitable time to spend a vacation in Phuket, which is reflected in the price - it keeps in high positions.

Personal experience: Holidays at the beginning of the year are guaranteed to be successful. Gentle sea, sunny weather, rare night rains, giving morning freshness. This is what attracts tourists here. In January, all popular beaches are filled with vacationers. Therefore, if you prefer a quiet and less expensive vacation, we recommend that you consider another time.

March
Weather: The beach season continues in March. Precipitation becomes more frequent, but also predominantly at night, which does not interfere with outdoor activities. Rains and hot air contribute to high humidity and stuffiness.
 
Reviews of tourists: March is considered the harbinger of the rainy season, when it is possible to see the indescribable beauty of the evening dawn.
 
Personal experience: During the day it becomes harder to endure the heat, relief gives the rain, which brings the long-awaited evening coolness. But for the sake of beautiful evening landscapes, it is worth visiting Phuket in March.

April
Weather: Phuket is in anticipation of a heavy rainy season. Rainy nights are complemented by intermittent showers during the daytime.
 
Reviews of tourists: In April, due to rains, the tourist influx is on the decline.
 
Personal experience: April in Phuket is the most unpredictable month in terms of weather. The suffocating heat gives way to thunderstorms with increasing winds and low leaden clouds over the sea. In April, Thailand celebrates the New Year - Songkran, which is marked by the beginning of the rainy season. At this time, the swimming season ends, because. the sea becomes rough. The presence of jellyfish and muddy water does not contribute to a comfortable beach holiday.

May
Weather: The frequent rains that begin suddenly, as well as stuffiness, interfere with outdoor activities. A relatively comfortable time comes early in the morning or towards night, when the intense heat subsides.
 
Personal experience: In May, Phuket turns into a tropical jungle, giving rich greenery and exotic fruits. Due to the large waves, swimming is dangerous, so rare tourists who come during this period can only sunbathe under the rays of the morning sun. The key advantage of the holiday this month is the low cost of vouchers.

June
Weather: Daily heavy rains and strong winds, suffocating heat, frequent lightning storms and sea storms - all this makes a beach holiday impossible.
 
Reviews of tourists: The tourist season in June almost freezes. The weather in Phuket is not conducive to a pleasant pastime on the beach. Now only connoisseurs of extreme sports and active sports come here.

July
Weather: Strong storms shake the sea every day, and tropical showers pour from the sky, which does not contribute to interest among tourists.
 
Reviews of tourists: In July, those vacationers who have children should refrain from visiting Phuket. Older people will also not be comfortable here. This month there is no opportunity for a good rest.
