When To Visit

With temperatures hovering around 30 degrees throughout the year, you're always guaranteed warm weather in Phuket. To avoid monsoon season, consider visiting between November and March. During this time, the Andaman Sea is also known for being calm as a lake.

Outside of peak season, the weather remains quite warm but is often tempered by cooling sea breezes. Most activities are on offer year round too, whether you fancy hiking through dense unspoilt forests or pampering yourself at a luxurious spa resort.

Food & Drink

Thai cuisine, particularly in Phuket, reflects the diversity of the country's history, culture, and inhabitants. Food is typically flavoured with coconut milk, citrus and spices, whilst most menus will feature traditional pad thai and red curries amongst other national staples.

During the day, great-value street eats enable you to snack with the locals. By night, international fine dining is possible at several of Phuket's high-end restaurants and resorts, where freshly caught fish and seafood will be laid out on ice, ready to be grilled.

Passport & Visas

British passport holders arriving by air or land into Thailand can stay for up to 30 days without a visa. Your passport will need to be valid for a minimum period of 6 months though. More information can be found by visiting GOV.UK.
