Phuket Green Season Fun

- Posted on 27 Mar, 2011
Phuket is getting an early dose of rain this weekend, delighting the
garden plants but making visiting the beach a bit of a damp
experience. An informal survey of Phuket visitors has found that
there's still plenty to enjoy in Phuket, even when the weather is not
so sunny.
 
Phuket spas are a must anytime, but are especially soothing on a cool,
rainy day. Try a facial or limber up with a Thai massage, or go for a
full treatment package to heal your body from head to toe while
enjoying a relaxing afternoon. Enjoy having some extra elbow room
while you dine, where in lieu of sunbathing you can enjoy some tea or
cocktails and a fabulous meal under cover at an upscale Phuket beach
club, then stroll the warm sands during breaks in the weather.
Another rainy-day activity that many Phuket residents have turned into
an art is to hit the shopping malls and browse, dine or sip some
coffee to your heart's content. Jungceylon in Patong and Central
Phuket Festival in Phuket City are known to have a great range of both
international brands and local arts and crafts.
