Bangkok vs Phuket: which is better, month by month

Phuket beats Bangkok in 11 of 12 months — its lead peaks in March (88 vs 60) — and they are within 3 points in November.

Each place is scored under the lens that suits its type — they are different kinds of destination, so the scores are each place at its own best. Comfort is SeasonMap's 0–100 estimate from ERA5 climate normals, not a forecast.
