Phuket weather June 2014 from 11th to 20th

As was predicted from all forecast strong wind and rain hit Phuket and the Andaman cost last week end. Waves were up to three meters.

The combination of strong winds and high tide during full moon, made the waves very high and strong. With some bad consequence for the shore line. We stared second part of June with great weather.

The big clouds full or rain arrived from west bringing heavy rains and storms over the Phuket Islands

Karon Beach on 11 June 2014

Surin Beach on 16 June 2014

Now situation is much better and waves are down to normal level for the season. In about ten days we should go in the normal calm and nice weather that July offers.

Strong wind then kept blowing during the whole week, specially during the night. still can enjoy a lot of sun during the day. Now it is important to keep attention while swimming from shore. It is time again for rip currents. This situation will stay until October when wind direction will change.

Sign warning about rip currents at Karon Beach

Swimming from Phuket west coast beaches are dangerous during summer, so follow the signs, don't go in the water when red flags are showed and follwo the indication from the beach guards and locals.

Not many people know that the Gulf of Thailand and Koh Samui have opposite weather pattern so now there is time for flat sea, and sunshine. Thailand it is really a year round tourist place, just need to now where and when.

If you are not sure ask us and will happy to give you best suggestion about the place to go.

Review - Bernard Chua and Family

Hello Francesco

Sorry this note came late – was busy taking care of my son’s injury the moment we touch back home.

Just wanna say THANKS for the GREAT arrangements – my family and I simply LOVE the program especially on the trip to James Bond island.

THANKS for having Ms Bee with us – she’s very knowledgeable and cares a lot for us. THANKS also to our driver Ms Amy (hope I got it right)

who drove us around – and both of them brought us to what we “wanted” J - Durians and Mangosteens JJ. Easy Day Thailand is GREAT service.

I would love to leave my appreciation and recommendation note – however I am not sure which portal. So if you have a site for me to share

my experience on the recent Phuket trip, do let me know. OVERALL – I am very glad to know you, your patience and detailed works are perfecto.

My family and I already plan to return to Phuket next MARCH – I guess AUG-DEC is raining season right ? and for sure I will get in touch w you.

My son and I will want to go Flying Hanuman. And we will go Phi Phi Island, Water Rafting ++ and whatever nice programs you will have then.

Till we meet again real soon J…….THANKS !

Cheers my friend

Phuket weather update 1st to 10th June 2014

First part of June has passed  with not much changes. Local thunderstorms with heavy rain and lots of sunshine.

Rain coming at Karon Noi Beach

Normally in June strong wind from south west creates perfect conditions for surfing in Phuket. For now surf lovers must wait and enjoy the Surf House in Kata.

Surfing at Kata Beach - not waves yet

So all good for now for any kind of activities,  snorkeling, diving, and specially now is time for rafting in Phang Nga. Streams water level is perfect to enjoy.

But check forecast as weather is due to change soon at the end of this week, bringing heavy rain and strong wind.

Great weather in June 2014 at Kata Beach - Phuket

Look here for next few days Phuket weather forecast.

If like to compare Phuket weather in June year to year have a look to our weather reports.

Reviews - Adam and Tara

Good evening Francesco,

I hope you are well.

We have just returned from our 2 day 1 night trip and would like to provide you with some feedback.

Overall I think the tour was satisfactory but there are a few aspects of the itinerary where I feel very short changed and that things could have been better.

Firstly our stop at the Tsunami museum was something we were looking forward to very much, but when we arrived there I could have easily mistaken it for a market stall, the only give away was the fact the owner was selling Tsunami magazines at 300 baht, over 3 times the price printed on the front! And what a museum comprises of in my head is more than a 1 metre wall with a few faded photos on it.

Our next stop at the 'Monkey Cave' was exactly that, a pit stop. The cave was off limits but in fairness we did see some monkeys.

The elephant trekking was really good but only lasted 45 minutes instead of the advertised 90 minutes.
Lunch was a highlight. Everyone enjoyed the food!

We then worked our way to the raft houses on the lake, they were brilliant set in even better surroundings. Dinner was fantastic however our night safari was a bit of a joke. Our guide told us 5 minutes in that they have never seen anything before and that we should do it on the morning if we wanted to see any wildlife, but then that wouldn't be a 'night' safari would it? We headed back shortly afterwards via a tree stump which nearly flipped the boat, I know this could have happened to anyone but at that point it only added to a disappointing experience.

The morning safari was combined with the boat ride across the lake to the rainforest trek starting point. Our guide through the jungle was very enthusiastic and fun, Bra did her best to show us as much wildlife as she could find. The trek bought us to the motor powered bamboo raft jetty. Which we used for our 10 minute crossing to the cave on the lake.
The cave tour was interesting and enjoyable.
We left the raft house at 12.30pm after another good lunch.

We got to our minibus changeover point at 2.10pm, to find we would have to wait for around an hour for a group of Russians who were at that point rafting, motor free, down a river. Could this spare hour not have been spent better, like at the raft house maybe..or joining in with the rafting?

Tara and I did both enjoy the trip as a whole but don't feel it justified the cost we paid.
My overall disappointment lies in the fact that we could have booked  the accommodation and the worthwhile activities ourselves at a fraction of the cost. We chose however to book with a credible company such as yourselves (knowing this would cost more) on the basis that your company would have spent good time on planning the perfect itinerary.

I wanted to email you personally about our feedback as I do like to leave TripAdvisor reviews and wouldn't like to be unfair by publishing negatives without approaching you first.

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks,

Adam.

Phuket Weather in May 2014 from 15th to 31st

During second half of May weather was as expected with some heavy rain storm. Still many good sunny days. What is important that wind is weak resulting is almost flat sea.

The Marine parks are now closed as for every year to let nature rest from tourist and divers and for safety as waves in open sea can be high as three meters as soon wind will blow.

Sea between Phi Phi and Phuket

So we passed from rain and storms as the picture here below takes from our new office building in Kathu

Storm over Phuket Town - Thailand

May monsoon rains over Kathu - Thailand

To clear sky flat sea and a beautiful rainbow as here below during the Phi Phi overnight trip on our leisure boat MV Sai Mai

Sunrise at Bamboo Island - Thailand

Rainbow at Koh Bida Nok - Thailand

As said Marine National Park on Andaman Coast of Thailand are now closed. This is normal and every year on 15th May the official closure is announced. Why the Marine park in Thailand close? First of all weather conditions, in Similan Islands and south of Lanta at hin Deng and Hin Muang the sea conditions can rapidly change. Won't be so nice to be outside the sea with two or three meters waves and may have to stay sheltered fro few days.

Second to allow the beautiful nature there to take a rest from torus, diving and all traffic generated by tourist activities.

They will re open on 15th October or soon after when weather conditions will become more stable with the Winter Monsoon

See you again in October

Can also compare with weather in Phuket in May 2013
