Phuket

It is the biggest Island of Thailand located in the Andaman sea. The nearest province to the north is Phang-nga and the nearest provinces to the east are Phang-nga and Krabi.

Phuket has a large Chinese influence, so you will see many Chinese shrines and Chinese Restaurants around the city.

A Chinese Vegetarian Festival is held there every year. While the Chinese community is quite big, there are many other ethnicities bringing all their traditions and festivals from all over the world to Phuket.

Being a big island, Phuket is surrounded by many magnificent Beaches such as Rawai, Patong, Karon, Kamala, Kata Yai, Kata Noi, and Mai Khao.

It isn’t all just beaches though, there is also fantastic classical architecture in Phuket town and the famous Phuket NIGHTLIFE shows why the island is a hotspot for tourists in Thailand.

Phuket features a tropical monsoon climate.

Due to its proximity to the equator, in the year, there is little variation in temperatures. The city has an average annual high of 32 °C (90 °F) and an annual low of 25 °C (77 °F).

Phuket has a dry season that runs from December to March and a wet season that covers the remaining eight months.

However, like many cities that feature a tropical monsoon climate, Phuket sees some precipitation even during its dry season.

Phuket averages roughly 2,200 millimetres (87 in) of rain.
