The tourist season in Phuket is 1 1 to April of the following year.

Phuket is located in the tropics, with a humid tropical climate, often with summer without winter. From April to September every year, when the sun shines directly on the equator, it is the rainy season in Phuket, especially in May, when it rains almost every day. At this time, there will be a vegetarian festival that advertises asceticism. Perhaps it is also a good choice to appreciate the hardships under the harsh scorching sun.

On June 5438+065438+ 10, from the carnival at Patong Beach to the seafood festival held at the end of April the following year, not only the whole island of Phuket was bustling, but also the sky showed mild sunshine. The sea is blue and the waves are gentle, so you can dive comfortably, get in close contact with beautiful corals hidden under the sea and watch colorful tropical marine fish swim by.
