The population of Phuket, Thailand increases by around 100,000 people during the high tourist season, which runs from November to February. This also increases the cost.
This is due to the influx of tourists from all over the world, who come to Phuket to enjoy its beautiful beaches, tropical climate, and vibrant nightlife.
The Thai government has taken steps to manage the increase in population during the high tourist season, such as building new infrastructure and improving public services.
However, the island can still become quite crowded during this time of year, so it is important to book your accommodation and activities in advance.
If pushy, super noisy crowds are your thing, perfect.
If not, there are much better locations all over Thailand to enjoy the sheer beauty without enduring the crowds and cost.
Do some research, avoid the unpleasant experience of over crowding.
