What is the best time to visit Phuket?
The best time to visit Phuket is from November to February. The weather during this time is cold and dry, which makes Phuket suitable for all kinds of water sports and other activities. The vacation experience is enhanced as the humidity is very less, and the beaches are clean.
Is it good to visit Phuket in July?
July is generally not considered an ideal month to plan a visit to Phuket as rains hit the islands of Phuket and the humidity levels are at its peak. People who like to enjoy adventures and water sports at the beach won’t be able to enjoy these water sports as most of them are closed during the month of July. However, good hotel deals and less crowded beaches come as a blessing if you decide to go to Phuket in July.
