Question

What’s the weather like in Phuket in November? Is it a good time to plan a trip?

Insider's Response

November marks the beginning of the long-awaited high season in Phuket! It’s the perfect time to plan your vacation — no need to worry about rain or rough seas!

In practice, though, November is more of a “transition” month between the low and high seasons. Early in the month, occasional showers are still possible, but they tend to be short. So if you prefer completely dry weather, it’s best to plan your trip for the second half of November. You can read more about November weather here.
