As the gem of Thailand, Phuket opens up a world of discovery for its visitors. The largest island in Thailand, it is tucked away in the Andaman Sea and blessed with awe-inspiring natural landscapes and a rich cultural heritage.
Climate of Phuket
Phuket enjoys a tropical monsoon climate with temperatures typically ranging between 23°C (73°F) and 30°C (86°F). The monsoon season from May to October is characterized by regular heavy showers, while the dry season from November to April tends to offer clear skies and intense sunshine, ideal for beach activities.
Getting Around Phuket
With the diverse terrain and seamless road networks, exploring Phuket via rental car offers an exciting and unique perspective. Whether you're in the mood for beach-bumming or sightseeing, a rental car provides the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Road Regulations
Keep in mind that in Thailand, vehicles drive on the left side of the road and the driver’s seat and controls are on the car’s right-hand side. While speed limits on highways can range from 90 to 120 km/h, urban area limits vary around 40-60 km/h. Always adhere to the local traffic rules and drive safely.
Car Rental Tips for Phuket
We recommend booking a mid-range or full-size car due to the varied terrains in Phuket. These types of cars provide sufficient comfort for longer drives and have the necessary power to navigate any uphill roads.
Points of Interest
- Old Phuket Town: Graced by colonial architecture and rustic streets, the Old Phuket Town is a must-visit spot. Be sure to try out local delicacies in the thriving market town for an authentic Thai-experience.
- Big Buddha: Standing majestically at 45 meters high, the Big Buddha monument offers a panoramic view of Phuket. An ideal time to visit is around sunset.
- Patong Beach: Known for its vibrant nightlife and picturesque beaches, Patong is a popular destination for many tourists.
- Promthep Cape: A tranquil viewpoint offering beautiful sunset views, Promthep Cape is loved for its serene atmosphere.
Learn the Currency
The local currency is Thai Baht (THB). Although mainstream businesses do accept credit cards, plenty of local businesses might only accept cash, so it’s always handy to have some local currency on you for smaller purchases.
Seasonal Events in Phuket
In February, the mesmerizing Old Phuket Festival is hosted in the Old Phuket Town. December sees the island come alive with colorful lights and parades during the Loy Krathong Festival. Check the local event fixtures to plan around any fun happenings during your stay.
