What 2026 looks like so far
The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has published 7 months of 2026 for Phuket province, janvier–juillet. Over those months the province recorded 8 098 059 visitors — 5 954 671 foreign and 2 143 388 Thai — against 8 223 470 in the same months of 2025, a change of −1.5%. Tourism revenue for the same months is 310 962 million baht (−0.7% year on year) and hotel occupancy averaged 75.5%, compared with 77.3% a year earlier. The busiest published month was février with 1 320 701 visitors; the quietest juin with 979 389.
Every 2026 month is marked preliminary by the ministry and is revised when the next monthly report appears; the 2026 annual block, with the Thai / foreign split by nationality, will not exist before mid-2027. The full-year context — 14 248 853 visitors and 76.3% occupancy in 2025 — is on the statistics hub; this page only carries what exists for 2026.
Weather and sea in 2026
Open-Meteo's ERA5 reanalysis gives 9 full months of 2026 for the west coast. Rain so far totals 1 292 mm against a 2015–2025 median of 1 752 mm for the same months. mars was the sunniest month (350 hours) and juin the wettest (320 mm on 25 rain days). The rough-sea column counts days with a maximum wave height above 1.5 m — the same threshold the daily page uses for its beach flag.
The baht in 2026
At the European Central Bank's month-end reference rates the dollar bought 33.41 baht at the end of octobre 2026, +6.3% on the end of janvier 2026; the index converts baht prices at 33.41 (octobre 2026). A stronger baht makes every Phuket price in dollars or euros higher even when nothing changes locally, which is why the price index records the rate it used next to each observation.
The price index in 2026
The Phuket Travel Price Index started observing in septembre 2026 and has 2 monthly points for 2026. The island-wide 4★ hotel median stood at $107 per night in octobre 2026 (n = 210) and a 3-bedroom villa at $5,941 per month (n = 148). Medians are measured on the 1st and 15th of each month for a travel date 30 days ahead; the full series by area and segment is on the price index pages.
