When is the best time to visit Phuket? As soon as you can get there! While anytime you can visit Phuket is a good time, there are definitely some better times of the year to visit than others. Like most destinations in the tropics you’ll find that Phuket has peak season and an off season, the later due to monsoons – the rainy season.
You’ll find the best time of the year to visit Phuket will be between November and March. The temperature is a about perfect with highs in the high 80’s with low humidity and little rain. As this is the most popular time of the year to visit, it is also the most expensive. Hotels fill up and the crowds are at their largest.
If you are willing to accept only slightly higher temperatures but much higher humidity and frequent rain then visiting between April and October is a great time. Costs of hotels and flights are much lower and crowds are non-existent.
Although you may get rain showers every day, they only last for a short time and once again the sun is out. However, there is the chance that you could get caught in a major storm with a week of rain. If you only have a week or two, it is best to stay in Phuket during the peak season with the best weather.
