Hotels in Phuket, Thailand

Phuket is Thailand's largest island in the Andaman Sea, famous for its powdery white-sand beaches and vibrant nightlife. The tropical climate stays hot year-round (averaging 82°F or 28°C), with a dry season from November to April that's perfect for snorkeling at the Similan Islands or partying in Patong, while the rainy months from May to October bring lower prices and lush green hills, ideal for visiting the Big Buddha on Nakkerd Hill or taking a cooking class in Old Phuket Town. For a quieter vibe, head to Kata or Karon beaches for family-friendly swimming, or catch a live Muay Thai match at Bangla Stadium in Patong.
