INFO TO GO

Most guests arrive at Phuket Airport, the second-busiest airport in Thailand. Phuket reopened to fully vaccinated international tourists July 1, 2021, under its Phuket Sandbox protocols, and the island claims a 74 percent fully vaccinated population. The best time to visit is between December and March, before the hot season starts in April and after the wet season ends in November. ATM machines are widely available, but note Thai ATMS eject cash before returning the card.
