Hi! here some information about Phuket by Bamboo
The Best Time to Visit Phuket
The best time to visit Phuket is from November to April, when the weather is ideal for beach and water activities. Phuket’s daily highs range from the 26°C to 36°C year round, warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, but only slightly.
May through October is the monsoon season. In this period most of the hotels offering excellent rates, though the water can be dangerous at times when the weather is stormy, especially on the west coast.
The east coast is relatively calmer through the year. December through March is high season, with maximum occupancy and rates. The low season falls from May through October. The coldest month is normally September with an average maximum temperature of 31.5°C (88.7°F).
Phuket is divided into three districts (amphoe), which are further subdivided into 17 sub-districts (tambon), and 103 villages (muban).
Total population (2019) : 420’000
Tourist : Before the pandemic , in 2019 , Phuket register around 9’000 000 tourist.
Muang District (amphoe)
The Muang District tends to offer a good alternative to the westerly resorts and also Phuket City itself, which is part of this area.
A noticeably cheaper selection of accommodation can be found to the south of Muang, around Chalong Bay, the biggest bay on the whole island.
Whilst many of the main attractions lie within Phuket City or close by, such as both the zoo and the butterfly garden, much of the Muang District is worth visiting for its seafood restaurants alone.
The far south, the Prom Thep Cape peninsula is an important natural landmark and boasts superb sunset views
Thalang District (amphoe)
The northern side of Phuket Island is encompassed by the Thalang District, home to Phuket International Airport.
Many appealing beaches stand on the western side of Thalang, such as Bang Tao Beach, Nai Thon Beach, Nai Yang Beach and Mai Kao Beach, while to the north, the causeways of both Sarazin Bridge and Thepkassattri Bridge connect the island with mainland Thailand.
Thalang’s main attractions include the Two Heroines Monument, the stunning golden Buddha within the Wat Phra Tong temple, and also the Sirinat National Park, which contains a breathtaking stretch of beach that extends for more than 10 km and many lush mangrove forests.
What you need to know about Phuket
Known as the “Pearl of the South” or “Pearl of the Andaman”, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island.
Although many people flock to this paradise island every year, Phuket still manages, thanks to the efforts of the population, to spread its warm hospitality and natural beauty to every visitor.
This large number of people, however, on the other hand worries many people regarding the impact of this influx of people on the environment. From there, many people are dedicating themselves to sustainability projects to try to raise awareness as much as possible among the population, hotels, restaurants and everything related to tourism to try to preserve this paradise as much as possible.
Please , if you want to be respected by thai people as a traveler,
then you should respect their countries’ customs and culture.
