All about Phuket
When to Visit
The best time to visit Phuket is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is sunny and ideal for beach activities. December and January are peak tourist months, offering lively atmospheres but higher prices. The rainy season, from May to October, sees fewer crowds and lush greenery but brings occasional heavy showers. For budget travelers, the shoulder months of November and April offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
Getting Around
Phuket has several transport options to make travel easy. Tuk-tuks are a popular way to move short distances, while taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab are convenient for longer trips. Renting a scooter is a cost-effective way to explore the island, but be cautious of traffic. Public buses, called songthaews, connect major areas, while long-tail boats and ferries are ideal for island hopping.
Traveler Tips
When visiting Phuket, pack lightweight, breathable clothing for the tropical weather. Don’t miss trying local dishes like pad Thai, tom yum goong, and mango sticky rice. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen, especially during outdoor activities. Always negotiate prices with tuk-tuk drivers before starting your trip. Explore beyond the beaches to experience the island’s culture, like the Phuket Old Town and traditional markets. Avoid scams by booking tours through reputable companies, especially for island trips. Finally, respect local customs, especially when visiting temples—dress modestly and remove shoes before entering.
