Actually, there is never a bad time of year to visit the island. There are plenty of attractions, activities and excursions to keep an active family happy and busy throughout the year.

The weather stays mild from November until March when the temperature increases. This hot weather will continue until around the beginning of May. April is when Thailand celebrates Songkran, the Buddhist New Year. 

Because of the hot weather, this has become the world’s biggest annual water-fight. Millions of people around the country will take to the streets with buckets and water guns to good-naturedly spray anyone who comes along. Your kids will love the thrill of being in a family-friendly resort in Phuket during Songkran.   

Around the beginning of May marks the start of the monsoon season. The temperatures become balmy again, and the winds increase, making the seas rougher. It doesn’t mean that it rains all the time, but you should take an umbrella along when you explore the island.
