From the weather forecast, the storm has hit Phuket, which is the start of the southwest monsoon season from May and will go through until October. This season is also known as the low or wet season
There will be every two rounds per year, which is the beginning of the year and after the year of tourism, but what follows is that after the storm, the wind will calm the sea. It will rain for 2-3 days and then calm for 3-4 days. Anyone who wants to travel to Phuket during this period must come with luck. You must also have time.
The trip that we recommend during this period is Koh Panyi because it is in Phang Nga Bay. No matter how heavy the storm is, it doesn't have any effect because the mountains block the wind all around. Another trip is a sailing trip to Coral Island (Koh Hae) because it is not far from Phuket Island, a visible distance from the shore.
As for Phi Phi and Racha islands, there may be some risks, but most tour companies and the Marine Department will assess the incident on a daily basis. If it's too risky, the trip will be canceled.
But during the low season like this, the days when the sea is calm and the sea is very beautiful. The funny thing is that if you go to Phi Phi in the morning, the sea is calm and beautiful, making the trip fun. But after 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there will be unpredictable storms.
But it also doesn't mean that there is no way to travel or have fun in Phuket during these periods. Since we already travel during the morning, and when the storm hits, we can just change from boat to take a ferry back to Phuket Island in the evening, which is a good thrill.
