Rainy day activities in Phuket

Rainy day activities in Phuket are aplenty and as the monsoon season sweeps through, you’re sure to find something that brings some proverbial sunshine to your day. So far, the rains have come and gone with a good balance of sun and rain throughout the month. High Season promises lots of consistent sunshine, but if you are in Phuket between May and October what do you do on Phuket Island on a rainy day?

The vision of a paradise island usually contains pale blue skies, turquoise waters, palm trees and sunshine. Whilst that is the reality for the majority of the year in Phuket, the island still has plenty to offer during the ‘green season when the lush greens come alive and the skies are filled with white and grey. Not only can the downpours be a refreshing treat on a hot and humid day, but there is something magic in the breeze that picks up just before the rains come, and the cloudy skies can sometimes make for magnificent sunsets.

festivities. Phuket FantaSea is the ultimate nighttime culture fest and perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening in Phuket. Enter into a colourful, fairytale theme park with something for the whole family. There are traditional Thai performances, a Tiger jungle adventure, a shopping market street, bars and so much more.

The main performance is an exquisitely told story of Kamala. I especially marvelled at the flying acrobats, the majestic colours, the animals and the incredible set. It’s definitely well worth a visit.
