Guide to the Best Travel Deals & Vacation Ideas in Phuket

Throughout this page we will give you some tips on ways to enjoy a well-earned cheap vacation in Phuket on a budget.

Traveling with Kids on a budget in Phuket

If you are planning a family vacation in Phuket, the main thing to consider when looking for cheap family vacation packages is to avoid traveling within the school holidays.

The best thing to do is to talk to your children’s teachers to find out when the best time is to take the kids out of school.

As the kids get older this gets a little harder but is still do able with a bit more planning.

Cheapest Time to Travel to Phuket

Most resorts and hotels in Phuket offer cheap vacation packages during the low-season months, which is usually from May through to October.

Many people don’t think to visit Phuket during these months because of the northwest monsoon season.

However this can be the best time to take advantage of cheap vacation packages, incredibly cheap hotel rates and amazing deals that are available.

Best Time to Visit Phuket during the Low Season

Not only is the monsoon season the cheapest time to visit Phuket, it is probably the best time.

The weather is good, warm but not as hot and humid as the high season, with the occasional downpour of rain.

The wettest months in Phuket are usually September and October.  June, July and August are usually on average very good.

You may still experience a few downpours but not as many as September and the first couple of weeks in October.

The added benefit of holidaying in Phuket during the low season months is that tourist numbers are much lower and the main tourist areas are far less crowded.
