How is the weather in Phuket in September?
September is usually the wettest month of the year in Phuket. You can expect more rainy days than sunny ones, but as always, you should get a mix of sun and rain. September is not the best month to travel to Phuket if you want that perfect blue sky and quiet blue ocean, so if you can avoid it, pick another month to be on the safe side.
There are still some bright sides if you have no choice: the roads are not hectic, and all the attractions and tours are usually open. Except for the Similan Islands, all the islands are open, including Phi Phi Island. When it rains, please bookmark this page we created to keep you busy: Fun Things to Do in Phuket When it Rains.
What to do in Phuket in September?
The pattern of the rainy season changes every year, and your week can be surprisingly sunny; no one can predict it. The best way to manage your holiday is to take advantage of each clear day to go to the beach. As usual, respect the flags and don’t underestimate how powerful riptides are and swim in your swimming pool if the flags are red.
On a cloudy day, you can go to explore Old Phuket Town, or if it rains, you can book a spa treatment at your hotel. Just remember to book as early as possible when you suspect the rain is here to stay because everyone will have the same idea! First booked, first served!
Phuket Vegetarian Festival
The famous Phuket Vegetarian Festival dates change each year because it occurs on the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It often starts at the end of September. There are events and processions mainly around Phuket Town and beach resorts are barely affected. If you go to Phuket town during this week, you will notice a lot of activities and many restaurants will be closed, and only those serving vegetarian food remain open.
