PHUKET WEATHER & BEACH GUIDE

WEATHER GUIDE
Phuket enjoys a warm tropical climate year round with relatively high humidity. There are two major seasons: The Rainy Season from May to October, with September being the wettest month. And the Dry Season from November through April where temperatures can soar to 41°C during the day!
NOTE: There are still many Sunny days throughout the Rainy season with heavy rains showers often only lasting 2-3 hours a day. Hotels often offer great deals during this time so check-out our Super Special
'GO Bonus deals" or Honeymoon Bonuses.

BEACH GUIDE
With so many beaches to choose from in Phuket - sometimes it's a trial just deciding where you want to be based - let alone which resort you want to stay at!!! Use our easy guide to find out which location best suits your holidays needs.

PATONG BEACH - Phuket's main beach, several kilometres of resorts, restaurants, shopping and nightlife! The majority of resorts here are across the road from the beach as opposed to beachfront.

KARON BEACH - 15 minutes south of Patong, Karon beach offers all that Patong does yet on a smaller slightly less chaotic scale!! The resorts of Karon pride themselves on their unspoiled long white sandy beaches - again the resorts are located across the road from the beach.

KATA & KATA NOI - 20 minutes south of Patong, both offer stunning white sand Beaches, relaxation and a casual laid back atmosphere unequalled anywhere on Phuket. Many resorts are beachfront.

BANG TAO BAY - 20 minutes north of Patong lies the stunning Laguna Resort development. A unique concept in luxury vacationing bringing together 5 of Phuket's most beautiful resorts. Stay at one and enjoy the facilities of all 5! Other resorts are located in secluded almost private beaches such as Relax Bay, Tri Trang Beach, Pansea Bay and Nai Harn Beach. These beaches often only have one resort at them so the guests can have the entire beach pretty much to themselves - what more could you ask for! Most resorts offer some sort of shuttle service to/from Patong or have a taxi service available.
