Phuket is a year-round destination, but if you want the best paragliding experience, timing is key. The island has two main seasons—dry (November to April) and wet (May to October).
The dry season offers the best conditions for flying, with stable winds, clear skies, and warm temperatures. The peak months of December to March provide perfect weather for long, smooth glides over the Andaman Sea. Morning and late afternoon flights are particularly stunning, with golden sunrise or sunset hues illuminating the coastline.
The wet season, while still possible for paragliding, comes with unpredictable winds and frequent rain showers. Some days may offer flyable windows, but the monsoon winds can make conditions less stable. If you’re visiting Phuket specifically for paragliding, it’s best to plan your trip during the dry months for the safest and most scenic flights.
