Things to Do in January

January is the perfect month to explore the islands and Phuket’s many beaches. The sea is clear and blue, and so are the skies.

As always, Phuket weather is unpredictable, but if you are a photographer or an Instagrammer, this is a great time because it’s not as hot as it becomes from March onwards.
