Huge Mistake Coming to Thailand? It's NOT going well in Phuket 😭

- Was coming to Phuket, Thailand a mistake? Since we've arrived in Rawai, Phuket we've had terrible weather and it rains most days. We've also been sick a couple of times (food poisoning and colds).
In this video we're discussing whether coming to Phuket was a bad idea. We've been here for a few weeks and so far it hasn't gone as we hoped.
Today we're heading to Nai Harn beach near Rawai, Phuket, even though the weather doesn't look great.
We explore the beach, get some lunch, get a beer and eventually it starts raining again.
We later head back to our condo to the rooftop pool and later watch Netflix in our condo as it's still raining.

i binge watched white lotus-- and you 2 also stay well !!!!!! Kisshes!!
You 🏝🏖You should be in Pattaya rather than Phuket. because it's close to Bangkok
@@LANSIRI803 why in gods name would you want to be in pattaya or even near to bangkok ?????????
Thank you all for keeping it real. This is the #1 reason I started following you a year+ ago. Between the food costs, transportation needs, cost of living videos, and pros and cons…I can actually decide if it’s a place I want go. Again, your style is the reason I ended up traveling the DR and meeting you in LT rather then being a resort tourist the rest of my life. I can never thank you enough for that! Keep the content rolling. I watch on my phone always and you know I’m subscribed and a Patreon-er! ❤😊
Matty you are the best! 🤗 We think you'd like it here (when the weather is good haha) though. It's a great place! We'll be showing some other areas of Thailand as well so lots more on the way - Anna
Hey guys, enjoying the videos keep up the great work! Usually I watch on my computer, however used the iPad through a lot of your Nova Scotia videos when planning our travels last year. Stay safe!
Thank you for great videos!
Happy New Year guys. Thanks for always keeping it real. Beautiful day here in Cape Breton today but we all know that can change in a hot minute. LOL. Good luck with the next stop. Cant wait to watch on my phone! Love fr CB ❤
CB! Woohoo... we're looking forward to getting back there in the summer. Hope the vlogs look great on the phone - Trevor
I am Thai and most Thais usually know specific time to visit those islands in the east or south of Thailand. In addition we also have to consider whether it is low or high season to visit. High season means it costs more for flight tickets, hotels or more tourists.
Thanks for watching! 🤗 - Anna
I tried to negotiate prices in Phuket during low season and some locals are telling me there's now low season. Prices are always the same. Liars lol!
Is it a good idea to go to Phuket in June?
Yay! Jumping Places colab! Always watch on my phone and like. Enjoy the downtime while it lasts.
Always love all your videos! Absolutely loved your travels in the DR. Thailand looks beautiful and the food looks delicious. I sure hope you get some better weather but it’s a great time to just relax and get some massages lol
We're missing the DR right about now honestly. But Thailand has been incredible. We do luv it here 🤗 - Anna
Im watching from Ontario Canada! Its been very grey with a wintry mix for quite some time ...horrible! Thank you for sharing your adventures. I enjoy your videos. Despite the rain you are lucky to have the heat!
Hi Jen 👋 We hope the weather gets better there soon. We so want to get back to ON - Anna
Watching you both on our iPad here in Rawai. Enjoy following your travels. We've been here since 18th December. We had a evening in Patong which rained heavily for around 40 minutes. We've had a few rain showers while we’ve been here but must have been in having a siesta when there’s been the downpours you’ve experienced.
We’ve been watching you both and the lovely couple C&C who we think you’ll be meeting up with, since lockdown.
We’re on countdown now for our flight back home 🥲
Keep enjoying life and making memories.
You can change to explore the north of Thailand if you can during this time because the weather over there is really good and you can come back to the south of Thailand in Feb 😊
Good to know! We’re hoping the weather gets better 😊 - Anna
Phuket is ok but it’s not the real Thailand chaing Mia is lovely it’s half the price as well
Sorry to see it you guys. Weather can be so critical for those beach destinations!! Hopefully sunnier skies ahead and in time will be just a small blip amongst all your incredible travels 💙
Appreciate that 🤗 - Anna
Despite the rain, beautiful country guys, thanks for posting!
💯
Hey Trevor and Anna, I'm subscribed and have pressed the like button as I always do :)
I tend to watch on my laptop or on the Tv.
The rain in Thailand can be nice at times but when it's constant like it's been it would be a bit of a drag, especially for what you do with your channel.
Getting a massage and watching some Netflix which is always great :)
🥰
Already subscribed. Love your vids. Always watch on tower computer with headphones.
New to your channel…thanks for your honest video. I’ll be looking at your past vids
Woohoo welcome aboard! - Anna
Sorry you had this experience! Hopefully Thailand treats you better soon..
Watching from the UK on my I pad, hope the weather improves for you two, take care.👍
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it 🤗 - Anna
Great video again 😃
Keep sharing! Northern Thailand, Central Thailand, and Southern Thailand actually have different weather patterns. Most information sources only share Central Thailand seasonal patterns which may get travelers to other regions in a bind. Example: Northern Thailand is a no-go between January to March because of rice field burning.
I feel for you guys..good weather is one of the most important things when travelling and actually getting out there for content. The seasons seem to be getting delayed everywhere..winter hasn't even reached most of Europe yet and the rainy winter dragged on reallllly long here in Melbourne, Aus. I'm going to island hop Koh Samui - Phagnan - Tao in March and hoping for the best! Phuket should be clear by mid-Dec, I've been in late September before and only had intermittent rain!
Hello everyone!
We are new AMWF content creator.
I'm from Bangkok and my gf's from Scotland.
It is good to see an AMWF content creator on TH-cam.
Have a nice day/evening everyone!
🇹🇭🇬🇧
Paul and Jay
i do not see this as complaining; i see it as seeing both sides of your journey....the good and the not so good!! thanks for being transparent and showing it all!!! I am watching on my pc :)
Taki knows best! hehe - Trevor
I watch from the computer in our kitchen. Hang in there, guys! I hope you get better weather!
Great video! I feel you on the torrential downpour. I do love cloudy days without the wet tho, so much more comfortable in the heat!
Love your travels…watching from my cozy cottage in Nl and Lab,Canada
What date was this filmed - we were in Rawai from Dec 15th - 29th and we had one afternoon of rain the entire time ? Been going for many years and the later in December you leave it the better - would never risk Novemeber - keep enjoying and al ot more places to explore - definitely get over to Phi Phi for a few days - recommend the URIP resort - out of the action but close enough to walk in
I watch you on my iPad. Although you’ve had rain in Thailand, your attitude is always sunny ☀️ and positive.
🤗
I watch you folks on my iPad! Still a great video. Rain and all💖
Lots of iPads! Interesting! - Anna
We are impressed you’ve stayed so motivated with all the rainy days, I’d just want to curl up on the couch. Don’t see it as complaining just reality. Since we follow you on IG we know where you are going and who you will see 😊!
Subscribed, always hit the like button first thing, watch till the end and all from my iPhone.
Thanks for taking us along! ~Cara 😊
How are you guys?! 😀 Good we hope. Thanks for your ongoing amazing support as always - Trevor
I usually watch you guys on the big TV in the living room with my Sunday morning coffee. 😁
Bad weather is the worst when travelling, especially when you have limited days, I empathize!
We can totally relate to this. We also slow travel a lot and in Mexico we picked a place to stay for a month and the weather was no the best, had to run from a few tropical storms and hurricanes and ended up being next to a party house with loud music ALL night. But like you guys we stayed positive and made the best out of the situation. like you said travel doesn't always go to plan but you don't have to let it get to you.
What place in Mexico?! We'll have to avoid it haha 😅 All you can do is make the best of a bad situation indeed - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers it was Playa del Carmen. Our lovely host and the beautiful beach were our only saving grace
It's pretty rainy in Australia as well. It's La Nina weather conditions, which is why it's so rainy. Perhaps that's the same for where you guys are.
We're watching from a laptop, although we sometimes watch you guys from our phones as well.
Hope the rainy weather clears up soon and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery over there.
It’s so rainy here on Vancouver Island. After Christmas I turn into a hermit + I love doing treadmill + watching TH-cam.lol. At least the food there is amazing + cheap so u can get takeout for your shows👌Enjoy!
Hi guys, besides the fabulous content you show, I also appreciate knowing the realities of living in a different country. Some channels portray a too perfect scenario which is very unrealistic. So kudos to you for this video. Take good care.
It's so tricky to find the balance of good and bad in videos. We're glad you enjoyed it either way Wendy 🤗 - Anna
which month (dates?) did you faced this?
I don't see it as complaining at all. Just being real. I love how positive y'all are even when you're not in the best of situations. I think most of us appreciate the whole experience rather than just the fabulous parts. 😉 Hope the weather gets better! Love all your videos.
Appreciate that.. we're just trying to tell it how it is 🤙- Trevor
I just found your channel and this is my first video. Just subscribed !! Looking forward to more videos. 🤗💖
Woohhoo welcome aboard 🤗 - Anna
Thanks for showing us the realities…Definitely, we agree, the rain puts a damper on things regardless of wherever you are in the world. Hubby and I were reminiscing about our rainy travels as we were watching…and we are watching on our iPad, streaming through to the big screen tv. We cancelled our Netflix for now. I can’t believe you got colds as well. Hopefully you feel healthy and strong soon. Take care and safe travels from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.
Who needs Netflix when you have TH-cam right? hehe Thanks for watching Nikki - Anna
Great info on the weird weather guys
🤗
I'm watching on my television but connected to my phone so I can add videos to my queue 😉
Hope the weather improves for you, beautifulbeaches. Meeting up with Jumping Places ?
Safe and happy travels.
Jumping Places... 🤔 Never heard of them 😉- Trevor
are the pools heated? what is the temperatures of the pools on avg?
honest videos are the best keep it up
Wow this is just bad luck! I was in Phuket in December 2003 and the rains were few, and quick when they happened. After subscribing a few years ago I have been waiting for you guys to get to my favorite destination Thailand. So to see this happen is a little frustrating for me too as a viewer. Hopefully things turn around soon. You need to make it to Krabi and Koh Phi Phi!
ชีวิตไม่ได้โรยด้วยกลีบกุหลาบเสมอไป ไม่ว่าในจะตกหรือแดดจะออกมันคือธรรมที่งดงาม โปรดอย่างหงุดหงิด ขอให้คุณทั้งสองมีความสุขทุกวัน🙏❤️
Hi, I hope you enjoyed your visit to Thailand this time. Have a great day.
At the end of the day, we’re human beings doing the best we can with what we have. Just as you had graciously been keepin’ it real while in the thick of The Plague of 2020 (and ‘21), so too are you doing while visiting beautiful Thailand. I appreciate the candour in your videos and look forward to watching who your future guests may be on my iPad mini! 🤗
🥰
We watch on our tv from our phones! Swimming in the rain is nice I don't know why lol! Enjoyed the video!
💯
Did you say this video was taken in Dec? We are going to Phuket this coming Mid to late December
That weather sucks, hopefully it will get better. Watching on a big TV as usual :-)
Best way to watch! 🙂 - Trevor
Hello Trevor and Anna, Happy New Years greetings to you from an equally grey and Mostly rainy Nova Scotia. Some days we all get more rain than we want, for sure. In my part of NS, we have had 11 straight days of rain, sometimes freezing rain and yesterday Jan 7 was our first day of any sunshine since Dec 26. And the night before it actually snowed enough to cover the grass and trees with that sparkly snow. Our first snow of any type here in the valley west of Halifax. It was so pretty while it lasted, couple of hours. Que cera cera!
I’ve been very busy with full time childcare these past few months which Allows much less opportunity to enjoy quiet moments to dream with you guys. Winter brings its annoyances no matter where we are on the earth. It’s meant for quieter spaces and more introspection time, so a massage and pool time even if it’s raining cats and dogs sounds like a good plan and , of course, really good food. Maybe like the couple on the beach, you just dance in the rain, especially if it’s a warm rain.😉Good days guys. From NS
That couple on the beach made our day! So fun. We hope the weather gets better for you there Jean. It's just an extra bummer when you spend all this money to come to a tropical climate and not get what you signed up for. That's all 😀 - Trevor
We always watch you guys on our TV...so less convenient to 'like' i guess, but we are subscribers.
I think this video is good to show the reality of weather and also to show sometimes you just gotta go out despite the weather...maybe your lucky and the weather changes, sometimes it doesn't 😊
Thanks Tania! We want to show the reality of travel like this sometimes. When we do we get a lot of negative comments though haha - Trevor
Sitting at the beach and having a few beers is a good idea when the weather is bad. Like hearing the sound of the waves. Have you tried the feet thing yet where you stick your feet in a tank full of little fish lol I have always wanted to try that. Nice video. I am on my phone right now . Thanks and take care.
what is the weather like in early june? Is there a lot of rain in Phuket?
Hi! Great video! What is the name of the apartment that you guys are staying at...?
Hello there, we’re in Phuket too and we’re slow travelers as well. The first three days were rough but the weather is getting better, so don’t worry we will all enjoy our stay here
Have so much fun! - Anna
Amazing Thailand ❤❤❤ Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thanks for keeping it real.
🤗
Hi, thanks but which month was it??
Have to go with the flow when the weather is not on your side, just as you are doing. The beach was beautiful, sunny or not! We're finally heading out for a couple of weeks to the Mayan Riviera, after not travelling since fall of 2019. We leave in 5 days, and the suitcases are already getting packed - think I'm excited!!!!! Fingers crossed for the weather.🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 I watch primarily on my laptop, but when Ken is home to watch too, we cast onto the TV. - Coreen
Have so much fun in Mexico! We ate Mex food last night 😅- Anna
When did you go ? We are going in December end
I totally don't blame you for getting tired of the rain. Don't blame you for the disappointment with that, I would be the same way. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching them weekly!!!
Thanks Christina... we hope the weather makes a turn for the better - Trevor
I love the rainy season 😌
Hi Anna and Trevor, I thought you told it like it is, good for you to be so honest. I think (hopefully) you are meeting up with Chris and Carol. I know they left Singapore with his parents, on to Cambodia then to Thailand. Looking forward to seeing where you will meet up with them. Keep making these wonderful videos, I watch on my iPad and we watch you on our TV as well. Stay dry🌴☀️❤️🇨🇦
Oh no. I’m sorry your getting the rain. I thought rainy season was over. I was there in October when it flooded and the water was up to my waist and I had to walk back to my hotel from Bangla Road. The weather has been pretty unpredictable every where. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing… PS . I just finished watching Emily In Paris
We heard so much about those floods. Glad we missed those! - Trevor
Thanks for this video. That's why I probably won't choose Thailand for vacation. This video demotivated me to come, because I really hate rain on my holidays. Thanks. Love your videos❤️
We’re glad you found it helpful. We can confirm that the weather is much better now in the south of Thailand though 🤗
Thats what we have experienced in our many years in Thailand. The rainseason has no strict schedule since about 5 years. Good weather starts by the middle to end of February
Thanks for letting us know Simon. Honestly it’s been terrible in general. It’s worse than most rainy seasons we have even experienced haha - Trevor
which month you guys went??
Welcome to the club. In Vancouver we are in the middle of many rainy days. But we are working so we don't notice it as much. But hopefully for y'all will get your sunny 🌞 skies.
🤗
it's monsoon season in southern. meanwhile in other part especially in Northern , it's cold and weather is nice, perfect for travel.
On the pc with headphones in the living room with family. I was in Phuket in November and the weather was perfect, its just bad luck is all. I value `real` content over pre-fabricated content, GREAT JOB!!! Keep it real x
Luv it... thank you!
I am glad y’all rolling with the punches. You’re still doing great contents considering…
Sorry about the weather. I know how you feel, as I was in Costa Rica during rainy season and had a long stretch of rain. Now we are in Manta, Ecuador and it hasn't rained in 2 months. You just have to roll with it.
That’s it! We’re coming to Ecuador 😂 - Anna
Watching on my phone always 💯‼️
Woohoo! Hope you're doing great Diane 😀- Trevor
Reality is life is life, wherever your location. 🎉 hope you guys get better weather
Great! 😊
While in Phuket, the rain never stopped me. I go during the rainy season and always enjoyed my stay. Make a date with the rain ☔️🌧 on the beach 🏖
We just returned to Australia, from Phuket. We had amazing weather from Dec30 - Jan 11..it rained once…it’s the beginning of dry season..we had perfectly sunny days.
you guys can always go to the islands on the gulf of Thailand for a change, nearest to Phuket are the islands on suratthani province samui, phangan and Koh tao. I'm not sure about the weather on that side since the weather is unpredictable nowadays but you could always give it a try,
Subscribed. Watching on my laptop. Sometimes I watch on my TV but I've got a documentary on mute on there. Sorry it's been bad weather. Hope it gets better for ya'll! Where are you going next?
We'll be in Thailand for a while yet that's for sure! Thanks for the sub Courtney 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers please tell which month it was ?
I’m watching on my tv, I sometimes watch on my phone at work. I’ve been subscribed for a while now.
Thanks for letting us know and being a subscriber Pixie. It means the world to us 🤙- Trevor
In this season, Thai people often travel to the North because the weather is cool and comfortable and the view is beautiful. At this time, the South has a lot of rain ,so it is popular to go to the South in the summer. Thank you for your positive thoughts.
Good to know!
Got it everything needs to be perfect for you to give a good review. Try less negative next time
Is early june a good month to go to phuket?
@@maximwuytack7024 You can travel, but it will start to rain.
That's not true and rain is rare so early in the year, may is the start of wet season with a little in April usually
I was in Phuket rawai last year at the same time , and thank God we had sunny days 😊
Oh wow.. the opposite of us! - Anna
FYI, generally Thai people travel to the northern of Thailand during Dec-Feb and go down to the south during Mar-May.
Hello from India 🙏 I am planning phuket in starting of june may be on 9th june. Will it rain there?
Aw, you guys aren’t complaining, just stating facts. Must be so hard trying to put together content when it rains day after day…enough to get anyone a bit fed up! Looking forward to the sun coming out and my Fab Four meeting up! 👏🤞😂
What fab four Helen 😉 hehe - Anna
Hehe…😁🥰
Funny thing is that we are planning to be in Thailand next November and are kind of chuckling to ourselves as it seems that everywhere we go we bring the rain (which is ironic given that we are from the West Coast of Canada). As for what we watch when it rains: Netflix: Kaleidoscope, Recruit. Apple+: Echo3, Mythic Quest, Slow Horses Prime: Jack Ryan. So many more, but this is our latest set of TV goodness.
You folks ought to come and visit my neck of the woods (the Scottish Highlands). It rains all the time here! Last summer was a Wednesday afternoon, I think!😉
Love and All Good Things,
Jesse.🌹
These Canadians are watching from Trinidad and Tobago, casting from my phone to the big TV. Weather here has been great all month, but a rainy system has moved in just as we are about to visit a beachfront apartment in Tobago, from the more industrial Trinidad where we stay with family 🇹🇹🤷🏼♀️. We can't control the weather! 🌧️ Wishing you delightful travels 😉
We hear such great things about T&T. We so want to visit 🤗 - Anna
Which month did u go?
I am planning to visit in June 1st to 7th do you think its a good idea.
I've been 3 times to Thailand. Last time in heart of rainy season phuket. All times was lucky no rain. I dont mind rain in tropics though.
Unleash the spirit from with in and nothing will rock your drive and passion to travel
I love swimming in heavy rain. As a Canadian we have seasons of cold rain. Embrace the warm rain, unless they're is lightning.
You should book hotels which are in walking distance to the beach. My gf and I recently stayed at Kata Palm Beach hotel in Phuket. 6-8 January. Very nice hotel. 10 minute walk to the beach. The weather was great. By the way, the rainy season starts in July and ends in October
Btw, it rained well into November 22 this time and there were no boats going to islands and no swimming in many areas due to the turbulent sea
I tried working in a school in Krabi. I thought I was going to go to the beach everyday after school, but it rained everyday for months. Those photos you see of sunny blue sky days are rare.
What date did you you go to Phuket? sorry to see it raining so much.
We were there most of November and the first half of December (I think we filmed this sometime around December 10-15). From the comments on the video the weather improved basically as soon as we left 😂😂
Thank you for your visiting our country. It can rain anytime in southside of Thailand.
What’s the video called that shows where you guys stayed
Hopefully that rain clears up a bit by Sat 14th for when we arrive!
Looking at the weather predictions now and it doesn't seem like it's going away by then. Oh well. Will make the most of it then head back and enjoy Bangkok for a bit.
Hey Guys, wife and me were there to ring the new years in Phuket, a beautiful paradise and was lovely to have sunny weather , I hope the weather gods are in favour for rest of ur trip, have fun.
Please do visit Fuga club , amazing place with a great view
Thanks! Which part of Phuket? - Trevor
