Why Phuket suits Good Friday

  • March is a good month

    March is one of the best months for Phuket, with its most reliable weather of the year.

  • No leave needed

    Phuket needs about 3 days, and the 3 free days cover it without taking leave.

  • 1h 50m away

    Flight from Changi, about 1h 50m.

  • No local holiday rush

    It's an ordinary weekend in Thailand, so you aren't competing with local holiday crowds.

#3 of 14 destinations we rank for Good Friday 2027, on weather, leave needed and crowds.
