Health and weather infos: When to go?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: If you go to places like Phuket, sunny days is all that matters. November to March is the dry season, with not-too-hot weather. April and May is the hottest season with limited rainfalls. Wet season starts in June till October.

    I went in March, no rain at all, all sunny days, the local even told me that they haven't had rain for almost 3 months. But the problem is the cloud. Can't get very good look at the sunset. Otherwise it's fine.

    Another consideration would be the cost. The price of the accomodation drop tremandously in low season (during may and Oct), and so is the number of tourists in there.
    The down side is, you may be trapped in bad weather for the whole time u stayed there.

  • Favorite Thing: Phuket is a very well-developed tourist spot. U can almost find anything you want for in a holiday in Phuket.

    Island Hopping - very popular activity in Phuket, you can see tour agent everywhere in Patong, selling 1 day / 1/2 day trips to the nearby beautiful islands. Go in the evening and book the trip next day, the price can get lower. Do negotiate. Most agent offers the same things, but the difference would be the service quality.

    Popular destinations: Phi Phi Islands, the Khai Nok, Similan Island, Phanga Nga Bay, etc. Some of them are great spots for diving!
