🏝️ When to Visit Phuket

Phuket is a year-round destination, but timing matters depending on your preferences:

  • High Season (Nov–March): Sunny skies, calm seas, and perfect beach weather. Best for outdoor activities and sunsets.
  • Green Season (May–Oct): Fewer crowds, lush scenery, and better deals. Expect occasional rain but beautiful mornings.

🏡 Where to Stay: Best Areas in Phuket

  • Nai Harn & Rawai: Peaceful, family-friendly, and close to beaches and local culture. Ideal for wellness lovers and long stays.
  • Patong: Busy and buzzing with nightlife, markets, and shopping. Great for party-goers and social travelers.
  • Bangtao & Laguna: Luxury resorts, beach clubs, golf courses, and peaceful vibes. Great for families and couples.

🛏️ Tip: For the perfect blend of privacy and comfort, book a private villa with a pool and full-service management through Inter Property Phuket.
