I’m visiting Phuket early next month for 7-8 days and haven’t got anything planned, since everyone says it’s going to rain. I have been contemplating if I should cancel for the exact reasons you mentioned. Thanks for clearing it up. 👍🏽👍🏽 Great video. ☺️

September/ October I believe are the wettest months but this can be quite hit and miss/ you might get good weather. I don’t think it’s worth cancelling. It’ll give you a nice taste of what phuket is like too. Thanks for the comment 🙌🏻

Went to Bali in wet season and didnt get a drop of rain. Went to Phuket in rainy season and it rained half the day each day. Went to Bangkok in rainy season a few times and it was super hot and sunny. 100% agree with you that Phuket doesnt have a low season anymore too.

The irony! They should probably rename ‘wet season’ right? And probably largely down to luck too. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

Totally agree about Patong, I stayed happily at Rawai, visited Patong for a few minutes. Loved my walk over to Nai Harn beach each morning, it was quite even then in November.

Having lived in Phuket for 12 years I have to say that I am very impressed with your balanced views they really are excellent. Phuket is far more busy than its ever been as the Thai travel industry promotes it as an all year round resort to various Countries. Also certain nationalities have there holidays at certain times and Phuket is on the list. A word in favour of Patong, yes Bangla is brash but worth a walk, Patong beach is fabulous around sunset for cooler walks but remember no swimming when the red flags are out. If it rains then go into Jungcelyon, a lovely shopping experience with many food outlets and a cinema. Enjoy the low season better pricings on fab hotels for example. Well done Josh 😎

Thanks for the comment and insight/ tips from someone with so much experience! Haha I like Patong and agree, it’s just a little much at times and can feel a touch claustrophobic after a while for me 👊🏻

When i arrived at Karon beach second week of May, it was really busy, but when i left 2 weeks later, it was really quiet. The weather was then hot with a bit of rain. I return to Karon in early September and it will be interesting to see how many tourists are there. I have been there in September before and it suits me.

Never been in September, one of two months I’ve not been. Would be intrigued to see what it’s like then. Have a good time!

Hi Josh. I am enjoying the videos. Ive been in Patong for 3 weeks. I love the place. I just avoid Bangla Road. Lots of bars and restaurants everywhere. keep up the good work. It hasnt rained all week. Ha.

Thanks Roger! I spent a couple weeks in Patong last year, I do like it too in small doses and understand why others do. Weathers been great in general!

I couldn’t agree with you more on getting a scooter two years ago, I ended up having to get a high mileage pcx150 through my maid and ended up paying 30,000 baht for three months ( I knew I was paying way way too much, but I couldn’t find one anywhere ) but I have to admit it was satisfying to see the smile on their faces when they delivered the scooter and I handed over that fat stack of baht ( especially after how hard they got hit by covid ).. this past winter was just the opposite, plenty of scooters,.. I ended up getting a low mileage newer model pcx “ 160 “ for 5500 baht a month

I thought that wet season meant it rains all day everyday so this is good to know. Hoping the partly sunny days hold out for my upcoming trip 😁 ☀️

You are talking about the wet season in Thailand, but it isn’t as generic as that. Wettest month for Phuket is September (not July), wettest month for Samui is November

Planning to visit on 22nd October. Will we be able to do island hoping or will there be heavy rains during that time of the month?

@josh.onthemove Ай бұрын

It’s hard to say for certain but in the south of Thailand/ islands you’ll get some rain for certain. The north of Thailand will be getting drier at that time of year, the south will be worth keeping an eye on the weather for when you want to do trips etc

@@anguscovoflyer95 it’ll most likely be better for sure. I’ve had rain at the start of December for a few days straight before so it can go a bit later but I think you’d be really unlucky to have anything that’s going to impact your trip too much 👍🏻

I'll visit Khao Lak next week and I'm very curious whether the weather is going to be nice or not... I hope it will not rain all the day or half of the day! Its my first time travelling outside of europe... Btw.. does anyone know whether to see some islands as a tour? (Like driving around them but not entering them)

@josh.onthemove 2 ай бұрын

Nice! South east Asia is such a culture change but it’s amazing. The weather could be good or could be wet but it’s unlikely you won’t have some nice weather half the time or more. You’re not far from Khao Sok National park there, check it out. Islands you might need to head more south or over to Krabi as similan islands are shut at this time of year which would be your closest option usually. Enjoy!
