Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, offers a captivating blend of ancient traditions and stunning natural beauty. Explore the ornate temples and colourful shophouses of Phuket Old Town, where Chinese-Portuguese architecture tells stories of a rich past. Beyond the historical charm, you’ll discover pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and limestone karsts rising from emerald waters. This diverse landscape, combined with unique local experiences and warm hospitality, makes Phuket a favourite destination for travellers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

When you fly from Auckland to Phuket, prepare for an international journey. Direct flights are unavailable, so you will typically have at least one stopover, often in Southeast Asia. The average flight duration, including layovers, usually ranges from 15 to 20 hours.

The best time to visit Phuket is during the dry season, which runs from November to February. You’ll enjoy clear skies, moderate temperatures, and calm seas perfect for swimming and island hopping. March to May is hotter, while the monsoon season, from May to October, brings more rain, although showers are often short-lived. Considering these factors will help you plan your trip and secure the best flight deals.
