We were planning to go to Phuket 3 weeks in August, but found that it is Raining Season. Will that destroy our holiday? Is it raining all the time? Sun and blue sky is a important issue for our vacation........!

I was in phuket toward the end of July last
year, and while it did rain once or twice,
it was brief. Only one night did we have
a real storm, and the next day it was nice
again. Storms, of course, affect the serenity of the sea, so while you can enjoy the beach and pool the day after a storm, i would avoid, say, a diving trip. I'm a beach
fan myself, so I understand yuour concern,
but I think you'll be okay. Have fun!

The 'rainy' season is so hard to predict as it changes from year to year. Sometimes August can be really wet, but mostly not.

Like Stevie said above you can expect some storms, but these usually occur after the heat of the day builds up and the skies vent their anger in the evening.

There may also be full days of overcast weather, but there's still lots to do here on a cloudy day.
