April in Phuket is the month when the island begins to prepare for the changing seasons, and is especially popular with tourists for the Thai New Year, known as Songkran. This holiday marks the end of the dry season and the beginning of the rainy season, which causes some travelers to worry about the weather. Many fear that their holiday will be spent in the rain in their hotel room, but in reality, the situation may not be so dramatic.

Disadvantages of a holiday in April

There are not many of them, but they do exist. April is not the rainy season yet, but the probability of precipitation increases. Rains can come in the form of short but intense showers and be followed by scorching sun.

Accommodation and travel prices may still be high in early April, although they begin to taper off as the end of the month approaches. This may mean that hotel and tour prices may not meet the expectations of those looking for budget options.

The number of holidaymakers in April, although lower than in previous months, still remains high.
