Phuket In May - What Can I Expect?

[westcoastnative]

I am looking to come to Bangkok and then on to Phuket in mid May. This will be my first time in this country. I was looking at weather trends and it looks like it is very hot and rains about 16 inches in May. Is this true? I want to be at the beach during the day enjoying the sunshine, not stuck in my room waiting out a storm. Also, is the night life back to normal in Phuket. If it's dead I can pospone my trip a month or two.

Thanks All...

The monsoon rains set in around mid-May and yep, it'll be hot here! However, you'll probably not spend so long waiting out a storm - they don't usually last so long and the air is cooler after too

The nightlife in Kata, Karon and Patong areas is thriving...even if it wasn't I'm not sure I'd use the word DEAD to describe it

Enjoy your trip!
