Anytime. Phuket is a tropical destination with all year around temperatures between 25-35 degrees Celsius. We have two monsoon periods with some beautiful rain fall, usually not more than 1 hour duration. The first is at the end of April and the beginning of May. The second is in October. The dry season is generally from December until mid April with very few showers and usually a totally clear blue sky.
Remember, Phuket is an Island and we get far less rain here then the main land and weather forecasts often says thunderstorm during monsoon periods and instead we have a sunny day.
