Is it worth going to Phuket? Phuket in June July tours to the paradise island.

It may be different in June. The weather at this time is unpredictable and can change ten times a day. Our journey with my beloved began with heavy rain, which we were terribly upset about. But just a couple of hours after arrival, the sun was shining and it was very hot outside.

Weather in Phuket in June

The first month of summer in Phuket falls during the rainy season, so the weather at this time is humid. However, it is worth considering that the rains in Thailand are not prolonged and are more like waterfalls, because a lot of water falls at once. You can drown :) Just kidding, of course :) However, you shouldn’t put off your vacation because of precipitation, because gloomy weather quickly gives way to shining sun. The air temperature at this time fluctuates around 30 degrees. And the water warms up to 28 degrees. It is worth considering that during the rainy season the sea can be very rough. Particularly high waves are observed on the beaches of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon. Therefore, for a holiday in these regions of Phuket, it is better to choose hotels with swimming pools.

Remember that cloudy weather does not protect against ultraviolet radiation. We did not pay attention to this warning and were very badly burned. To somehow alleviate the suffering of our skin, we bought coconut oil and aloe vera balm. The burns went away quickly enough, so after a couple of days we went to the beach again.

What fruits ripen in Phuket by June?

It's worth going to at least for the fruits. In June, markets are overflowing with ripe and fresh fruits. By this time, guava, durian, grapes, papaya, mangosteen, mango, pineapple, watermelon, rambutan, lychee, jack fruit, and pomelo ripen. Each fruit is good in its own way. It is best to buy juicy fruits in markets where you can and should bargain. We noticed that merchants are especially good at discounting prices if you come big company. Therefore, we often teamed up with our compatriots and went to storm the fruit market)). Also, don't be shy about asking for the fruit to be cut right away. This is very convenient, there is no garbage and the likelihood that all the local ants will come running to your room for sweets.

What interesting things happen in June on the island of Phuket?

The first month of summer boasts several festive events. Firstly, in mid-June there is a boat festival on the island. This holiday is organized by sea gypsies. It is intended to attract good luck and protect against evil spirits. The festival opens after dark. Gypsies perform certain rituals, dance and launch hundreds of boats into the water.

One more and interesting event is the Peranakan wedding festival. This holiday originates from the Chinese people. Festival participants go out into the streets in traditional costumes and perform ancient wedding ceremonies. Participate in mass wedding ceremony Anyone can. Such a wedding will cost the newlyweds 40 thousand baht. We didn’t have that kind of money, so we just enjoyed the beautiful spectacle and were happy for hundreds of new families :)

For those who cannot imagine their life without sports, the annual marathon takes place on June 9, which starts from Bang Tao beach. A marathon involves distances of varying lengths. However, they all pass through very picturesque places on the island.

Tourist saturation

Despite the likelihood of getting wet, many tourists go there in June. Especially many guests arrive on the island at the beginning of the month. This is due to the start of the holidays, as well as to the reduction in the cost of vouchers. By the end of the month there are fewer tourists, so it is better to go on vacation at this time.

What kind of uninvited guests can be found in the room?

The most harmless creature that ever visited our room was a small lizard. She would drop by to see us almost every evening, and then disappear somewhere. There were no other inhabitants of the animal world in our hotel. But many of our compatriots from other hotels complained about cockroaches and ants. Therefore, carefully read hotel reviews. Well, if you are unlucky, be sure to make a request at the reception. They have it there special means, which will save you from an unpleasant neighborhood. There were no mosquitoes on the island in June.

Holidays in Phuket are good in any month. But still in high season some sophisticated tourists try not to come here. Crowds of tourists, crowded beaches and high prices are not everyone's cup of tea. There are several reasons to choose a holiday in Phuket in the off-season.

Firstly, of course, low prices. After the peak season, some hotels close, while others significantly reduce room prices so as not to operate at a loss. Tours to Phuket in June are an excellent choice for those who like to save money.

Hotels in Phuket – high class, there are representatives of well-known networks. Hotels often have animators with programs for children and older people.

Secondly, peace and quiet. There are no restless groups of tourists, queues for monuments and museums, the streets are almost empty - you can relax and rest your body and soul in solitude.

Third, entertainment. Rare resorts completely “die out” during the off-season; they become centers of cultural life. Phuket in June is no exception. Various festivals, concerts, and exhibitions are held. Museums and attractions also operate as scheduled. A tour to Phuket in June will especially appeal to families with children.

So, in June the rainy season started in Phuket. The rains are torrential, strong, but short and not too frequent. Sometimes it may be a dry and hot day and you can lie on the beach or go on a sea voyage. The sea is rough and covered with waves, so June begins the paradise season for surfers who come to Phuket from all over in the hope of catching a wave.

Weather in Phuket in June

June in Phuket is hot and humid. The air temperature during the day is high - about 30°C; at night it drops slightly - to 25°C. Water - warmed up new milk- 28°C on average. Particularly comfortable when swimming is the almost identical temperature of water and air. It rains most days in June, but there are also dry, warm days when you can sunbathe or hire a boat to travel to other islands. Also, for most of the month the sea is rough and swimming is dangerous and prohibited, as strong waves can knock down even an adult.

However, this period is simply ideal for surfing. Despite the abundance of rain and cloudiness, we must not forget about sunscreen, since the sun in Thailand is strong and you can easily get burned even on a cloudy day. The high humidity of this season is contraindicated for people with vascular and heart problems, so this factor should be taken into account when choosing a tour.

Tours to Phuket in June

Thanks to low prices this season, finding a suitable tour will not be difficult. You can easily find flight tickets and a room in a suitable hotel. June is ideal for those travelers who go to Phuket not for a beach holiday, but for an active and culturally rich pastime. In June, due to sudden rains, it is not always possible to lie on the beach, although such days do exist. But you can walk around the island and see the sights on numerous excursions. Phuket has a lot of beautiful Buddhist temples, parks, nature reserves, which tourists usually don’t have time to see during beach season. June offers the opportunity to do some sightseeing.

All year round in Phuket, avid club lovers will find many bars, cafes, discos and specific shows for thrill-seekers. For those who want to relax and slow down the pace of life, Phuket has prepared a lot of spas where you can have an incredible Thai massage of the whole body, cosmetic procedures with fragrant Thai cosmetics and even foot peeling in special aquariums with Garra Rufa fish, so popular among tourists.

For athletes, Phuket in June opens up broad prospects in the field of surfing. The waves are high and strong, up to 2 meters - many surfers from different countries people come here in June to enjoy boarding on the powerful waves of the Andaman Sea.

Prices in Phuket in June

Prices in " low season"Trips to Phuket are much lower than in the high-end region and you can relax with savings. Prices for food and souvenirs in the absence of crowds of tourists are also low compared to winter months. A wide variety of inexpensive fruits are available. Economical holiday- this is just about June in Phuket. Despite the fact that Phuket is the most expensive resort in Thailand, in the off-season prices here become more affordable.

Not everyone vacations in Thailand during the peak season, when the weather is better, but the prices are much higher.

And that’s why let’s try to solve the problem - which beach to choose in Phuket in the low season? The low season (or, as it is often called, the rainy season) in Phuket lasts from May to September and thus falls during our traditional holiday season. It is usually believed that at this time of year all the best beaches in Thailand, and Phuket as well, are unsuitable for swimming. However, for Phuket this is not entirely true. The northwest monsoon, which dominates the island throughout summer months, affects only the west coast, leaving the eastern and southeastern parts of the island in the same condition as in the dry season. If you are vacationing here in the low season, then you can without hesitation choose the beaches of Phuket, which we will talk about now.

So, let's remember the rule - East Coast Phuket is quite suitable for holidays during the rainy season.

The second rule is that in any case, the weather during the rainy season is not so favorable for relaxation. You should be prepared for waves, even on sheltered beaches, as well as wind, short periods of precipitation and higher humidity.

And now - more about this.

Beaches on the islands on the eastern side of Phuket.

The dominant monsoons in the western part of Phuket island create big waves at sea, while in the eastern part of the island the sea remains quite calm. If you are lucky enough to be here during the low season, then you can without hesitation go to some of the wonderful beaches of Phuket, located on the islands of Koh Naka and Rang Yai.

On the island of Koh Yao Noi there is also a cozy beach, reliably protected from sea waves by the surrounding rocks.

Between the island of Phuket and the Malay Peninsula is the famous Phang-Nga Bay, considered one of the natural wonders of Thailand. You can also swim here in the low season without fear for your life and health.

Several good beaches are located nearby on the Phi Phi islands, which in the low season will delight you not only with the absence of waves, but also calm atmosphere. After all, during the rainy season, large crowds of tourists disappear from Phi Phi. And protected from the waves, Phi Phi Bay not only provides swimming opportunities, but also offers a variety of aquatic species entertainment: boating (not recommended at low tide), diving and snorkeling.

Which beach in Phuket itself will be the best in low season?

The island of Phuket has several partially sheltered beaches that are suitable for swimming all year round. One such wonderful beach is Nai Yang Beach. This beach is protected from the sea by a reef that simply does not allow high monsoon waves to pass through. That's why water coastal zone This one of Phuket's most beautiful beaches remains relatively calm all year round.

And now - about exceptions to our rule, about the beaches on the western and southern ends of the island.

Layan Beach is located on the west coast, but still offers swimming opportunities during the northeast monsoon season. And this is due to the fact that this beach is protected from waves by nearby islands, including one of the most big islands- Kala Island. Lyan Beach has a small bay suitable even for children.

During the low season, lovers beach holiday can pamper themselves on Phuket beaches such as Kata, where the sea is relatively shallow, so the waves are not very noticeable even during the northeast monsoon season, and on Cape Panwa. This cape, located in the southeast of Phuket, offers several excellent beaches and swimming in calm seas. On Kata Noi beach, entering the water is less dangerous due to the shallow depth, so it is believed that swimming there is safer than on other beaches on the west coast of Phuket. However, when swimming at Kata Beach, you should be extremely careful and not swim too far into the sea, where depth, waves and currents can pose a significant threat.

The Paradise Beach, protected from waves, is also suitable for swimming in the low season.

Nai Harn is another beach, which is located at the extreme southern point of Phuket island. People often come to Nai Harn Beach married couples with children, and those who want to swim in the low season. This Phuket beach is protected from winds and waves by a far protruding cape on the right end (several other small, cozy beaches are also located here). South part beach, where the lagoon flows into the sea, forms an excellent diving pool. You can go diving here. It is worth considering that at low tide the beach becomes very shallow, but at high tide you can dive here. Although Nai Harn is one of the best beaches in Phuket in the low season, there are still days when strong oxen rise in the sea. However, there are much fewer such days compared to other beaches on the west coast of Phuket.

Perhaps, best place For a holiday in the low season in Phuket, you can consider Coral Island, located not far from Chalong Bay. Calm, clear, teeming with colorful tropical fish, the water and dream beach are just a 15-minute boat ride from Phuket. Highly recommended for those staying on the south side (Nai Harn, Panwa, Kata, Karon, Chalong). You can get there either by purchasing an excursion or by renting a small Thai boat at Chalong Pier. The cost in the latter case will be about 3,500 baht - the boat can accommodate up to 8 people.

In general, almost all Phuket beaches are suitable for swimming: during the northeast monsoon season there are often calm days when there are almost no waves on the sea. But when the number of rest days is limited, then every day counts. Therefore, during the rainy season, we still recommend choosing beaches on the eastern tip of Phuket.

What else, besides a beach holiday, can you please yourself with during the rainy season?

The picture will differ by month, so let's say a few words about each of them.

If we consider the rainy season in Phuket by month, the picture emerges as follows:

May: the weather is usually good in the first half of the month, then there are slight changes, short-term rains are possible and small waves appear on the sea. Although there are places where the sea is always calm - this is Phang Nga Bay, so you can safely go on sea excursions to the shores of the James Bond Islands and Krabi. Also in May you can visit the grand religious holiday Visakha-Buja. Buddhists believe that it was on this day that enlightenment descended on the great Buddha.

June: A very fickle month, one might even say unpredictable. The weather can please you with clear sunny days, or it can prepare an unpleasant surprise in the form of high waves and strong monsoon winds. In June, go on an excursion to Krabi province, the sea there is still calm during this period.

July: Rainy and windy weather becomes more frequent, but the rains do not last for 2-3 hours, they mainly occur at night or in the afternoon. But the sun does not become less hot. In July, residents of the country celebrate two wonderful holidays, Asanha Buja and the Full Moon Festival - on this day, according to legend, Buddha delivered his first sermon. In July, the “Great Buddhist Lent” begins, young men in Thailand become monks for three months.

August: Strong wind and short rains can spoil the mood of beach lovers. But this month will delight avid fishermen with excellent fishing and warm weather. The air temperature does not drop below 27 degrees, which creates quite comfortable conditions for successful fishing in the open sea; if you're lucky, you can catch a Wahoo or even a Merlin

September: Travel agency workers consider this month to be the rainiest on the island, but this does not mean that the sun is not visible at all, but strong gusts of wind and high waves do not allow sunbathing and relaxing to the fullest. There are red flags on the beaches warning that swimming is dangerous, but this still does not stop thrill-seekers. But even strong waves and wind do not make Phuket deserted and dull; during this period, surfers - professionals and beginners - come to the island. They organize international competitions and improve their skills at the surf school in Kata Bay.

October: rich in grandiose religious events. Perhaps the largest and most impressive of them is the Vegetarian Festival. The Great Buddhist Lent ends, and the island's residents organize a colorful parade with incredible fireworks. Everyone puts on white clothes, which is a symbol of purity and renewal of the spirit, but the most powerful manifestation of spiritual purity is the ability to torture your body. Parade participants pierce various parts of their bodies various items, to be honest, the spectacle is not for the faint of heart.

Throughout the “low season,” the rains are short-lived and after a shower the bright sun appears in the sky. But there is a huge problem for cars and motorcyclists, since even a little rain can turn into real disaster and movement on the streets will be difficult. However, this will not prevent you from having a pleasant rest on the beach or by the pool of your hotel, since the air temperature does not fall below 28 degrees, the sun is as hot as in the high season.

Among the undoubted advantages of vacationing at this time are fewer people on the beach, increased friendliness of the staff, lower prices for vacations, entertainment and excursions. At this time, nature blossoms and delights with its beauty. This is a wonderful time for rafting lovers; during the dry season, the rivers are too shallow. In addition, most national Thai holidays take place at this time, which are highly recommended for visiting.

Choose best beach in Phuket in the “low” season
