Much of the time in the May-October "low season" the weather is great. It just gets a bit windy and makes waves on the beach so you can't go in for a paddle. I think the whole "bad weather in the low season" idea is not valid here.

Monsoon???
The weather is currently hot and sunny, with the occasional tropical shower. The wind has turned to the NorthWest, so this means good weather for the West Coast of Thailand. Someone just told me that it is now raining and windy in the Gulf of Thailand. Here it's lovely, so long as you don't mind the sun.
In any case, Phuket never really gets seriously bad weather or a real "rains for ever" monsoon. Much of the time in the May-October "low season" the weather is great. It just gets a bit windy and makes waves on the beach so you can't go in for a paddle. I think the whole "bad weather in the low season" idea is not valid here. All you can really say is that on average, the weather is better between November and April.
Happy travels
