HELLO NOVEMBER

Phuket’s Season to Shine

It’s that magical time of year again — the rains are easing, the skies are clearing, and Phuket is glowing beneath soft golden light. November marks the start of high season, when everything feels fresh, bright, and full of promise.

This week also brings one of Thailand’s most enchanting traditions — Loy Krathong, celebrated on November 5th. As lanterns rise and krathongs drift across the water, the island comes alive with light, laughter, and reflection — from beaches to lagoons to hotel pools.

For business owners, it’s go time. The high season swell is building, and now’s the moment to get ahead. Polish up your Google profile, refresh those menus, and collaborate with local creators. Even old-school flyers can make a stylish comeback when done right.

Phuket’s gearing up for something special — and this season, it’s your turn to shine. 🌴

FUN FACT

The Magic Behind Loy Krathong 🌕

If you’ve ever seen hundreds of glowing candles floating across a Thai lake, you’ve witnessed one of the country’s most beautiful traditions — Loy Krathong, the festival of light and letting go. Each krathong (a tiny raft made from banana leaves or bread) carries a candle, incense, and someone’s wish for good fortune. 🌿

The festival honors Phra Mae Khongkha, the goddess of water — a thank-you for life’s flow and forgiveness for waste. Many Thais believe that when your krathong drifts away, so do your worries.

In Phuket, lakes and beaches light up with shimmering reflections, laughter, and quiet hope. It’s a night where strangers share the same simple ritual: let go, make a wish, and watch the water carry it away.

OUT & ABOUT

Day & Night of Phuket

If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Phuket Town, there’s one spot that perfectly captures the island’s lively spirit — Day & Night of Phuket. Sitting proudly on Dibuk Road, this stylish restaurant-bar blends the best of both worlds: a relaxed daytime café vibe and an effortlessly chic evening bar scene.

The menu? A thoughtful mix of Thai and international dishes — think beautifully seared steaks, hand-tossed pizzas, and vibrant local plates that pair perfectly with a chilled glass of wine or one of their signature cocktails. It’s the kind of place where brunch lingers into dinner, and every table buzzes with laughter and clinking glasses.

Before or after your visit, take a little time to explore the nearby Old Phuket Town. Wander past colorful Sino-Portuguese shophouses, stop for a photo under the fairy lights of Soi Romanee, or browse the weekend market for handmade treasures and fresh coconut ice cream.

Whether it’s morning coffee, date night, or late-night drinks — Day & Night truly lives up to its name.
