Many tourists, who often traveled to Turkey and Egypt before certain events, are now exploring new lands in search of their ideal vacation spot. Popular countries include Vietnam, Greece, Italy, Spain, Thailand and some others.
One of the Thai resorts, which is often chosen by tourists from Russia, is the province of Phuket. It is located in the southern part of the country and is the constant choice of hundreds, if not thousands, of vacationers from all over the world. Autumn has already come, its last month is just around the corner, and some have not had time to rest this year. For those who are planning their holidays in Thailand, today we will tell you what Phuket is like in November, and whether it is worth flying there at all at this time.
What is the weather like in Phuket in November?
As November ends the rainy season in Phuket. There is already much less precipitation here, andtemperature of water and air is close to comfortable. The whole of November is characterized by these parameters, that is, it doesn’t matter if you fly to Thailand at the beginning of the month or at the end.
However, it is important to know that in the province of Phuket in October-November, precipitation in the form of heavy rains, thunderstorms and cloudy weather is still possible.
The time for the high season is approaching, so with each November day, the weather is more suitable for recreation. This is expressed not by an increase in temperature, but, on the contrary, by a decrease. It becomes less hot and stuffy, so the rest is much more pleasant.
At the same time, prices for tours are increasing and the number of tourists on the beaches of Phuket Province is increasing. In November, the water in the sea gradually becomes clearer, and the chance of a storm or large waves is noticeably lower.
Average air and water temperature
During the month, daily air temperature fluctuates between 28-31 degrees Celsius. +23° C - +27° C is expected at night. The water temperature in the Andaman Sea is almost always +28 degrees, but can vary between +27° C - +30° C.
Beach vacation in Phuket in November
Those who are going to the territory of the kingdom in November should not worry about a beach holiday. This month it is quite possible to swim in the sea and sunbathe all day long, as evidenced by the temperature of the air and water.

All these parameters indicate that the vacation spent herewould be perfect.
Low or high prices? Phuket in November: the cost of tours
Prices at this time are no longer as low as in September and October, when there are heavy showers, but since November is a transitional month (from the rainy season to the high season), you can still find quite a moderate cost of living in hotel and inexpensive cafes and restaurants. But you need to prepare for the fact that hotels are being rebuilt for the influx of tourists, so tempting offers for accommodation are becoming less and less common.
In the Kingdom of Thailand (Phuket) prices in November are approximately:
- Regular tours: 79-82 thousand rubles for 7 nights (with flight).
- Hot deals: 34-44 thousand rubles for 3-13 nights (depending on the hotel).
You can go to Phuket on your own, especially since at this time the prices for air tickets also do not bite much. The cost of living in this case fully depends on the rank of the chosen hotel. The cheapest options offer to stay for 2 weeks for only 6,000-9,000 rubles, better places - for 10,000-15,000 for the same period, and in popular hotels the price can rise to 60,000.
