We are planning to go to Phuket on our Honeymoon in June. Is it a good time of the year to be there?

Question

We are planning to stay on Patong Beach in Amari Coral Beach Resort. Does anybody have any comments or suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

I traveled there this christmas and it is absolutely beautiful! Patong beach is very nice as are most beaches around the area but you have to visit Phi Phi island. If you have ever watched the movie "The Beach", this is where they filmed it, just amazing scenery. If you plan on going in town be prepared for people all over trying to sell you things left and right, which can be fun, but gets annoying pretty quick. I would say to avoid most of the "massage" places unless you are told they are reputable. The food is extremely cheap and very good! Have fun!

Answer 2

June should be nice. However, if you are planning for a honeymoon, Patong beach might be a little noisy and busy for you? I would recommend this little village called Laguna Phuket, and one of the better hotels is Dusit Laguna cos it's right on the beachfront. Look for their Dusit Club Room. Just a few steps away from the beach, perfect for a honeymoon. check out their page at www.dusitlaguna.com and you can always let reservations know it's your honeymoon so they will have something special planned for you. June is also a great time to take advantage of the low season rates.
Expect occasional showers in June, though none should last longer than half and hour. Great to cool things down. Head out to Phi Phi island, but for the perfect white-sandy beach, check out Racha island. There is a lovely resort called The Racha there and it's also great for honeymoon. Quiet and secluded.

Hi, congratulations. You have picked a lovely place to have your honeymoon. In fact you can check with the hotel if they have any honeymoon packages available during that period for the 2 of you to enjoy, like a couple spa and massage, plus in-room services for a couple of days while you 2 stay in.

Patong Beach will be nice, only thing is it is the most crowded place there. Do take your time to explore the beauty in other beaches like Karon and Kathu, and a few other smaller ones around the island. Theme parks abound in Phuket, visit Fantasea World, take a look at Simon Cabaret. All for good fun.

Time permitting, head to Krabi for lovely beaches and more island hopping tours.

June period, expect rain shower at times as this is the start of the rainy season and themporary thunderstorm can happen anytime. But you have a nice place to cosy in. So do have a great time.

It's early in the rainy season I believe - but even then I hear it's nice and doesn't rain all the time or even most of the day. Just be ready for some brief heavy downpoors and rain at night. (I think)
You will also be fairly close to Kow Sok National Park if you are in Phuket. We visited there for a few days and stayed in some really cool tree houses just outside the park. The place we stayed was called the Nature Resort. It was family run and the people who own it are WONDERFUL! They cooked the best food we ate in all of Thailand, offered guided trips down the river or to the park - very cool - we dragged ourselves up at 5 am and headed out birdwatching by boat and watched a pair of hawks trying to steal a baby gibbon from it's mother - also hiking and swimming. (mamma gibbon won)
Next to the resort is a place called the monkey swimming hole that is a swimming hole in the river with a rope swing for humans and the monkeys hang out and watch.
We lied awake in the tree each night listening to the gibbons call to each other across the forest.
You're going to be close - I highly recomend it if you have enough time. P.S. running water and toilet in your tree!
P.P.S. Congratulations! and have a great trip. It is a beautiful country with beautiful people.

Answer 5

June is a nice time in Thailand. - temperatures between 35 and 45 degrees Celsius. and an air humidity about 85%.

The only pleasant place to stay is indoors with the air con on.
Unless you like sweating.

And be aware!
Honesty, fair business and caring about other people are things NOT included in the Thai mentality.
