Rainy Day Activities in Phuket
Guide To Rainy Day Activities in PhuketOh No!!! It rains in Phuket Don't stress! Our rainy day activities guide in Phuket will save the day! Over the years we have had our fair share of rainy days in Phuket. Imagine four kids, three adults on a 14 day holiday, the first 5 days was monsoonal rain, followed by days of intermittent rain. What do you do? You have to find things to do with kids, but still enjoy your own holiday. When choosing to take your holidays in Phuket during the southwest monsoon season which is from May to October, you will enjoy cooler weather, not cold is is never cold in Phuket. Although the chance of rain during this time is higher especially around September and early October, but it also makes the beaches unsafe to swim in, with high seas and rip currents. So if the kids can't go swimming at the beach you need to know things to do when bored kids become grumbly kids. Rainy Day Activities for Kids and big Kids at heartTen Pin Bowling
Kids love recreational activities like ten pin bowling, and there is no shortage of bowling alleys in Phuket. Take the kids and enjoy a couple of rainy day games at one of the following alleys.
Ocean Plaza Bowling in Bangla Road Patong.Rock & Bowl at the intersection of Na Nai Road and Sai Nam Yen Road, Patong.SF Stike Bowling located on the 3rd floor of Jungceylon, Patong.CS Bowl on the 2nd floor at the Big C Supercenter on the Bypass Road.Pearl Bowling Lanes, Montree Road, Phuket Town. Ocean Bowl, Ocean Shopping Mall, Tilok Uthit 1 Road, Phuket Town.Cinemas in Phuket
An old favorite rainy day activity is to take the kids to see a movie. Phuket currently has three cinemas, SF Cinema City Jungceylon in Patong. SFX Coliseum at Central Festival and Coliseum Paradise Multiplex, both located in Phuket Town. All cinemas show a mixture of the latest Western, Asian and Thai movies. Western films are either in English with Thai subtitles or dubbed in Thai, Asian films are dubbed in Thai, and most Thai films have English subtitles. Check details carefully before you buy your ticket. SF Cinema City is Phuket's newest cinema and the first cinema in Patong. The cinema boasts 5 large screens and is located on the third floor of Jungceyon Shopping Complex above Robinsons Department Store.SFX Coliseum Cinema with seven screens and equipped with the latest digital sound systems, located on the third floor of Central Festival shopping mall on the Bypass Road.Coliseum Paradise Multiplex Cinema is the older of the two cinemas in Phuket City and is slightly cheaper. Mostly used by locals and as a result they show less films with English soundtracks than at the other cinemas.Splash Jungle Waterpark
Who cares if it rains when you can spend a full day of family fun and relaxation for everyone! The whole family will enjoy a day at Splash Jungle Waterpark, which includes includes a 335 metre Lazy River, a Wave Pool, an Aqua Play Pool, the Super Bowl, and Boomerango ride as well as many other waterslides that vary in height and speed.

The aquarium is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery, making it a perfect destination for the whole family as well as providing educational activities for kids.
Go Kart Speedway and Offroad Fun Park

Thai boxing is one of the most popular spectator sports in Thailand. Visitors who are staying in and around Patong can enjoy night time entertainment in a specially built stadium on the corner of Bangla Road and Rat-U-Thit Road.
Visit one of the many Temples in Phuket
My personal favourite is, Wat Chalong it is the largest and most visited temple in Phuket and is well worth a visit, the best time to go is either early morning or late afternoon. Located between Phuket Town and Chalong.
