December is the peak tourist season in Phuket, and the King’s Cup is held over the course of two long public holiday weekends in Thailand, traditionally the busiest times for airlines and hotels.

Luckily there are many airlines (including new low-cost airlines) which fly into Phuket, both direct from Bangkok, but also from other international hubs, such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.

It is advisable to book flights as soon as you can, and many airlines enable online bookings to be made.
