<\/a>3. Phuket, Thailand<\/h2>\n\n\n\nPhuket is one of the most sought-after winter sun destinations in Thailand, and rightly so. This is Thailand\u2019s largest island, and home to a host of stunning landscapes, charming beaches, and cultural experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This island is also popular for its vibrant nightlife. What\u2019s more, its proximity to Racha Island, Similan Islands, and Coral Island makes it one of the best destinations for adventurers interested in island hopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather allows you to enjoy all the fun activities and experiences Phuket has to offer. This month falls within the dry season, which means lower chances of rainfall and plenty of sunshine throughout the day. The average daytime temperatures range from 23\u00b0C to 31\u00b0C (73\u00b0F to 88\u00b0F). The sea temperature remains at about 28\u00b0C (82\u00b0F) throughout the month, so swimming and other forms of beach fun are definitely on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these results, we made each month a top 3 for North America, the Caribbean, Middle\/South America, Europe, and Asia (including the Middle East).
