Phuket is one of the beautiful islands on the world where you would see a combination of beautiful scenery and blue sea along with the tropical sunsets. The best time to visit Phuket, Asia’s most memorable beach, depends upon your mood, whether you want to enjoy the water fight with the locals, be alone on the beaches or be caught in the torture fest.
Songkran (Thai New Year) is considered to be the best time to visit Phuket. Pouring water on each other was the tradition followed by the islanders on the New Year. It has become World’s intense water fight, which is followed all over Thailand.
April 13 to 15 is the Songkran time and if you do not like getting wet, then this is not the time for you to be outside on you to visit Phuket. Islanders have a unique style to celebrate it. They line up on the street armed with buckets, water guns and hose pipes. Some of them even ride on the pickup trucks with barrel full of water. If you love water, Patong is the best place for you to enjoy. Every member on that island, whether he is an islander or not enjoy this time to the fullest.
You will be surprised to see the men and women walking on the streets with their cheeks pierced by knives, spears, needles and many more. You will be shocked to hear that these people have no pain in doing so. This interesting thing, which you will see in the time of October, is the Vegetarian Festival. A visit during this time can be very interesting. You will find out that most of the restaurants around strike meat off from their menu. It can be the best time for you to turn into a vegetarian. You should not miss the final procession, which takes place at Saphan Hin where the people around lined up on the street and throw crackles.
Wherever be it, New Year is the best time to visit and Phuket is no different. Chinese New year can be fun time over here, but it is not celebrated glamorously as it is done in Bangkok. You can enjoy Chinese food over here in the month of February.
Patong is the best time to enjoy this season. Most of the people enjoy beaches before and during midnight. This is the time when you can see a lot of fireworks. You would always find a number of sellers with fireworks. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that sometime this festival ends up with shooting in the crowd due to some drunker. Just a little bit of care can make your trip successful.
