Low season in Phuket is during the monsoon season, where the province sees a lot of rainfall. This usually occurs between the months of April to November, though the highest rainfall occurs between June and October. Low season is the perfect time to travel if you’re on a budget, because prices for most things drop and at the same time, there are fewer tourists everywhere in Phuket. Of course, this comes at the trade-off of having to deal with some rainfall, but it should be reassuring to know that the weather is usually still warm despite the rain and you could still see some sunny days during your trip. For surfing though, low season is when the waves are the best for you to take your board out, and there are sometimes surf competitions during this period in Phuket at well.
For avid shoppers, Phuket and other tourist areas in Thailand have a mega sale called “The Amazing Grand Sale” annually that runs from mid-June to mid-August. This sale features discounts that sometimes go up to 80%, so be sure to have plenty of cash or your credit card ready to shop to your heart’s content. In Phuket, the best shopping spots are in and around the Phuket Town area, so add that to your visit list when you plan your holiday.
