When to go

Because Nov – Apr is the most popular window to visit Phuket, accommodation and flights fill up fastest then — book a few weeks ahead to lock in better rates and availability. If you prefer fewer crowds, the shoulder weeks on either side of this window are often quieter while staying pleasant. Check the full Phuket guide for packing tips and month-by-month detail before you travel.
