Many people think that monsoon means rain, but it describes rather\nfrom which directions the wind is blowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>North East Monsoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runs usually beginning of November and last until mid \u2013 maybe end of May. This wind brings clear skies and mostly good weather, but being an exposed tropical island some rain storms always can occur. Since you can expect good weather \u2013 and it is cold and nasty in other parts of the world \u2013 this is the so called high season. It is the preferred time to visit Phuket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\/charter-private-sailing-yachts-destinations-phuket-thailand.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\/img\/slides\/destination\/phangnga\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Phang Nga Bay Phuket Thailand\" width=\"490\" height=\"215\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Holiday Destination Phuket Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>South East Monsoon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blows usually from mid May until end of October and can\nbring strong winds, rain and thunderstorms. Speaking about storms. Phuket islands\ndo not have taiphoon\u2019s or tropical cyclones, because it is well protected by the\nsurrounding main land of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This so called low or wet season is actually a fantastic\ntime to visit Phuket for several reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prices for flights and hotels are down, the island is\nnot so crowded and everything is much more relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be that you are unlucky and get some rainy days or a thunderstorm, but then there is still plenty to do in your holidays in Phuket Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\/charter-private-sailing-yachts-destinations-phuket-thailand.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\/img\/slides\/destination\/phangnga\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Phuket Thailand in colder South East Monsoon\" width=\"490\" height=\"215\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Sunrise over Phang Nga Bay Phuket Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A good option is to charter a yacht, rent a boat with <a href=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\">Phuket Boatcharter<\/a>. It is very safe, since we only do coastal cruising and you still can visit the islands around Phuket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And: you always can do watersports like snorkeling, swimming, kayaking from your floating hotel, which is anchored in a protected bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\/charter-private-sailing-yachts-phuket.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phuket-boatcharter.com\/img\/slides\/boatportal\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Charter Private Sailing Yacht or Motorboat in Phuket Thailand\" width=\"490\" height=\"215\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Sailing Catamaran Aquila at anchor in Phuket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many times going swimming from a beach can be very dangerous.\nBig waves are causing strong surf making it impossible to enter the water\nsafely. PLEASE always follow the instructions of the lige guards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize: Phuket is a good destination to visit year\nround, but if you want to save some money and get good deals, the so called wet\nseason is perfect to visit for a tropical holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally is to say that the climate in Phuket is tropical and always warm, but it has two climates during the year, two different monsoon seasons.
