Exploring Natural Phuket in Green Season
For me the green season, or monsoon season, is a great time to get out and about for several reasons.

Secondly, the rain the plants and insects come out so there is a lot for the birds to feed on and as such more to see. There are also far less people around meaning it is quieter and less likely to scare the wildlife away. As normal this year, there are many birds around even in the busy tourist areas, if you actually take your time and look, especially in the back streets.
