What you gain in June

  • Some of the lowest hotel rates of the year: mid-range properties at budget prices
  • Phuket Old Town emerges as the genuine destination: covered walkways, exceptional food, zero beach crowds
  • The island's waterfalls and green interior are at their most dramatic

What you sacrifice

  • 220mm of rainfall: heavy daily downpours, often lasting several hours at a stretch
  • West coast completely closed for swimming; the sea is rough and brown throughout
  • Many beach-focused operators shut for the season — activity options significantly limited
