A Guide On Things To Do In Phuket When It Rains

Exploring Phuket during the rainy season allows visitors to witness the island's natural beauty at its peak, with rejuvenated forests and blooming flowers creating a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable experiences.

While popular activities like island hopping and beach outings may be affected by rainy and rough sea conditions, Phuket offers a variety of indoor and rain-proof things to do to keep you entertained. Let's explore some unique rainy season activities you can enjoy in Phuket while staying at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort.

Light Showers

Don’t let a light drizzle stop you from fun and adventure!

1. Jungle Adventures

Don't let the rain dampen your adventurous spirit! Venture into the heart of Phuket's rainforest and explore the lush green trails, accompanied by knowledgeable guides who will introduce you to the fascinating flora and fauna of the region. Trek through hidden waterfalls like the Tonsai or Kathu, discover exotic plant species, and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of nature. For the adrenaline rush, sign up for some ziplining and skywalk fun at Hanuman World. Make sure to check weather conditions and listen to safety advice before doing these activities.

2. Elephant Sanctuary Visit

If you’re looking for a meaningful and ethical experience, visit one of Phuket's reputable elephant sanctuaries. Interact with these gentle giants in their natural habitat, learning about their conservation and welfare. Spend time observing and even bathing these majestic creatures, fostering a deep connection while contributing to their well-being.

3. Water Parks

There are still fun things to do in Phuket when it’s rainy! There are exciting water parks like Blue Tree Phuket, Phuket Wake Park, or the Thai-mythology-themed Andamanda Waterpark, where you can experience exhilarating rides, slides, and water-based activities. Plunge into pools, ride thrilling water slides, and test your skills in wakeboarding or cable skiing. These parks provide hours of adrenaline-pumping fun, perfect for a cloudy day.

4. Carnival Magic

Unleash your inner child at Thailand's largest Thai cultural carnival-themed park. It's 40 acres of mega fun adorned with 40 million light decorations that make for that swoon-worthy Instagram shot. Explore their vibrant activities and compete with your friends at the arcades or play the array of games on offer. If the weather and schedule permit, don’t miss their extravagant parades.

Medium to Heavy Rain

Here are fun ways to entertain yourself even when it’s pouring rain!

5. Museum Tours

If you’re wondering what to do in Phuket when it rains, museum tours are a great idea. Visit museums housed in restored Sino-Portuguese buildings and residences, like the Thavorn Phuket Museum, with its charming collection of historical and vintage artifacts located in Phuket’s first full-service hotel, or the Phuket Thai Hua Museum, with its display on Chinese history in Phuket.

6. Aquarium Visits

Have an educational tour of Phuket Aquarium or Aquaria Phuket and see a wide variety of underwater creatures, learn about ecosystems under the sea, and more. Aquariums are an excellent destination in Phuket during the rainy season and are filled with interesting exhibits, informative displays, and family-friendly attractions to while away the afternoon.

7. Rum Distillery Tours

Discover the fascinating world of rum-making at Chalong Bay Rum Distillery. Take a guided tour and learn about the art of crafting fine rum using locally sourced ingredients. Witness the distillation process, from fermentation to aging, and even indulge in a tasting session to savor this beloved spirit's smooth and aromatic flavors.

8. Culinary Tour

Phuket Old Town beckons food enthusiasts with its vibrant café culture and delectable street food offerings. Top on our list of things to do in Phuket when it rains is to explore the charming streets, discover quaint cafés, sip on aromatic coffee, and indulge in mouthwatering Hokkien noodles or crispy rotis. For seafood lovers, make your way to Laem Hin Pier, where floating restaurants offer a unique dining experience with abundant freshly caught seafood dishes.

9. Beach Club Hopping

Phuket's beach clubs are not just for sunny days! Explore the island's hip beachside establishments that offer a mix of entertainment, music, and stunning ocean views, even during the rainy season. Lounge in comfortable cabanas, sip on refreshing cocktails and relish delicious cuisine. Dance the evening away at Café Del Mar or catch a mesmerizing sunset at Baba Beach Club. Additionally, Phuket beach clubs are also a regular haunt for famous local and international DJs – keep an eye out for weekly events, and you might get lucky to catch your favorite spinner on deck.

10. In-Resort Activities at Thavorn Palm Beach

You don't have to venture far to enjoy rainy season activities in Phuket while staying with us at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort. Stroll through our tropical botanical gardens–one of the largest in Phuket, where you can marvel at 12 acres of lush greenery and a diverse range of vibrant flora and fauna in bloom. Get close to friendly creatures at our mini-petting zoo and interact with our adorable, furry residents. 

One of the fun things to do when in Phuket when it rains is to sign up for a Thai cooking class and learn about traditional ingredients and dishes, or a pizza-making class and learn how to make the perfect wood-fired pizza, adding a dash of culinary creativity to your rainy day.

When you are ready to unwind, relax at any of our three large swimming pools, each designed with a unique ambiance. And if you want to keep the fun going, our massive waterpark-grade slides are also available for your muse.
