Crafted from white marble, the Big Buddha exudes a sense of tranquillity and grace. From the Big Buddha Temple, we head to Laem Phromthep, a cape at the southernmost tip of Phuket, and a great spot to watch the sun set over the Andaman Sea. Enjoy the breathtaking views as the sun dips below the horizon.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 
 
Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 
 
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured. 
 
CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Phuket and Koh Samui, both being tropical islands in Thailand, share a similar climate. The climate is characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons.
 
Phuket:
Dry Season (November to April)
This period is considered the high tourist season. During these months, Phuket experiences relatively low humidity and little rainfall. Temperatures range from pleasant to warm, with clear skies and sunny days. December to February is particularly popular for visitors due to the comfortable weather.
 
Wet Season (May to October)
The wet season in Phuket sees higher humidity and increased rainfall. The southwest monsoon brings occasional heavy showers and thunderstorms. September is often the rainiest month. While there can be rainy days, it's important to note that it doesn't rain all day, every day during this season.
 
Koh Samui:
Dry Season (December to February): Similar to Phuket, Koh Samui experiences a dry and relatively cool season during these months. The weather is pleasant, with lower humidity and clear skies. This period is also considered a peak tourist season.
 
Transition Months (March to June):
March and April mark the transition to the wet season, with temperatures gradually rising. May and June can be hot, and occasional brief showers may occur.
 
Wet Season (July to October):
The southwest monsoon brings the wet season to Koh Samui. During these months, the island experiences more consistent rainfall, with September being one of the wettest months. While it can rain heavily, there are also days with intermittent showers and sunny intervals. The landscape becomes lush and vibrant during this period.

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking.
