Best time to travel to Phuket for beach activities
If basking in Phuket’s sunshine is what you are after, plan a trip to this region between December and March. During these months, Phuket’s monsoon seasons have ended and you should have plenty of hot and humid Phuket weather to frolic by the beach, engage in water sports, enjoy a romantic honeymoon, and go sight-seeing around the region. However, it’s important to note that because of the wonderful weather at this time, December and January usually attract the highest amounts of tourists, which means you need to be okay with a large number of people at most tourist attractions. Prices for items will also be the highest at this time due to the large influx of visitors, but the nightlife especially will be much more upbeat and exciting.
For the purposes of diving, you can consider coming in November and December for the best visibility and less congested spots. Any time between November and April is suitable for this water activity, though. One important thing to note if you are a surfer though: surfing season in Phuket is actually in low season in the middle of the year instead of during peak season. So plan accordingly if the main reason for your visit is to surf and not just enjoy the sunshine.
