Frankly: Not all our friends familiar rejoice in our move to Thailand. More precisely, not everyone likes the fact that from now on we live in the country of eternal summer, bathe every day in the ocean and eat oyster for lunch. And all this - at a time when they stand in traffic jams, we will not see the sun and feed on plasticine food.
In the summer, rains usually go at night, and the sun shines brightly.
"Well, right now in Phuket dry and comfortable, but what will you do when you charge tropical showers for half a year?" - We did not surrender our buddies, which upset the awareness that we were very good here, and who were trying to find at least some minuses in our new status. In response, I only smiled mysteriously and did not try to upset these good people again. Because before moving to the island, we were in Thailand and the surrounding countries of Southeast Asia more than once, and not two, and not even ten. Therefore, about how the summer rainy season is in these places, I knew enough. Yes, indeed, sometimes in July-August, shower can go weeks. But! Not on Phuket, which is in the southern part of Thailand, but somewhere in the north, in Chiang Mae or Chiang-Rai. Here, indeed, in the summer almost always wet, drooping and cold.
Only the puddles are reminded about nightly shoes.
On Phuket, the climate is a subequatorial. This means that there is warm all year round. Of course, rains go here. But, as a rule, it happens at night. And that when you slept, the shower passed, they say except that the puddles on the streets - and even that if you woke up early, and they, these most puddles, did not have time to dry out the temperature of the water in the ocean remains the same - something About thirty. But thanks to the night rains, even small bushes are flourished everywhere, and beautiful waterfalls appear in the vicinity of Phuket.
In the summer, numerous waterfalls come to life, which switted in the winter season.
Since thousands of tourists planning summer holidays frighten the "low season", Phuket in June-July-Augustus looks usually like an advertising picture. Which part of the island you did not arrive, everywhere - snow-white beaches, where only you and the sea. And there are no crowd of fussy vacationers, there are no sun beds in five rows, there are no traders running around the beaches. No one at all!
Yes, and outside the beach everything is very pleased. Prices in spa salons are reduced by thirty percent (although much lower?), In restaurants of each client, they meet as a close friend, and in stores everywhere there are some kind of breathtaking sales.
In short, "Low Season" on Phuket I always loved gently and tremble. However, when we moved to Thailand, something incomprehensible and unpleasant happened to nature ...
