Best time to go to Phuket for a perfect weather and where to go?

When planning a trip to Phuket, whether in Patong Beach, Kata Beach or Karon Beach, the first question that arises is: "What is the best time to go to Phuket?". The question can also be reiterated into "Is this the right time to visit Phuket?" once the vacation has already been settled. These questions will be answered in this article to the best of our ability in order to help you make the most of your vacation in Phuket.

When To Go: The Best Months

The island of Phuket enjoys constantly warm temperatures all year round, due to its location near the equator. Phuket's climate is that of a humid tropical monsoon. The latter ensures that Phuket has two distinct seasons: the rainy season (May to October) and the dry season (between November and April).

The best months to visit Phuket are from late November to early April. The other months of the year, even if it is not all the time, the island receives a higher level of rainfall and the sky is often overcast with clouds.

However, this latter period can be a good time to visit the island without the crowds of tourists in the high season (one should still avoid if possible the month of September when it rains greatly with at least 400mm of rainfall). One must be informed: most links with others surrounding islands have been cut off during these periods because of a very agitated sea and therefore, you can not access the islands like Koh Phi Phi.

The Best Months to Visit Phuket

In terms of weather, the month of January in Phuket is ideal (tied with the month of February). There is almost no rain, the heat is not overwhelming whatsoever and clear skies are present all day long. However, it is also in January that the island of Phuket suffers from the largest increase in crowds. Thus, if the weather is beautiful, the island is overrun with tourists and everything is much more expensive than the rest of the year ...

Moreover, when looking at the attendance report in comparison with the weather, the best month to travel along the "Pearl of the Andaman Sea" is March: tourists are fewer (the prices are a bit cheaper too) and the rainy season only begins its return for the month of April. One benefits from the ideal climate to bask on the beaches of Patong, Kata or Karon without having to jostle to find the perfect place!
