Averaged over 2023–2025, arrivals are moderately seasonal (1.7× between 12월 and 3월): November–March carries 39.8% of the year and June–August 27.3%, which makes 중국 a year-round market for Phuket. Before the pandemic (2013–2019) the strongest month averaged 11.3% of the year, in 1월.

Definitions: a guest arrival is a check-in at a registered hotel, resort, guesthouse or serviced apartment in Phuket province, counted by the nationality given at check-in. It is not an airport arrival and not a count of people: someone who stays in two hotels is counted twice, someone in a private villa is not counted. The nationality series runs 2013–2025; the 2026 split will appear with the ministry’s 2026 annual file, expected mid-2027. 출처: 태국 관광체육부 지방 통계, 2026년 9월 조회; files refreshed 2026-09-05.
