| Month | Median asking price | Middle half (p25–p75) | Nights measured | Priciest night | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2026 | $47 | $30–$80 | 31 | 18 October 2026: $59 | 23 September 2026 – 25 October 2026 |

| January 2027 | $92 | $57–$193 | 22 | 2 January 2027: $113 | 25 October 2026 |
- Each month shows what places asked on the days in its Read column; a month already past was read before its nights, so months read at different times are compared as read.
A month's figure is the median of its nightly medians, and a night's the median asking price for one night. A month is listed once it has at least 15 measured nights, each with at least 30 places showing a price.
Cheapest to priciest month
The median asking price in Phuket is $97 a night in the priciest month (December 2026) against $47 in the cheapest (October 2026): a gap of $51, or +109%.
| Month | Median asking price | Against the cheapest month | Nights measured |
|---|---|---|---|

Friday and Saturday against Monday to Thursday, by month
Across the 4 months measured in Phuket with at least 3 nights on each side, Friday and Saturday nights asked from +1% to +12% against Monday to Thursday.
| Month | Friday + Saturday | Monday – Thursday | Difference | Nights measured (Fri+Sat / Mon–Thu) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2026 | $48 | $46 | +5% | 10 / 17 |
| November 2026 | $84 | $83 | +2% | 8 / 17 |
| December 2026 | $98 | $97 | +1% | 8 / 19 |
| January 2027 | $103 | $92 | +12% | 7 / 12 |
Each side is the median of its nightly medians; Sunday nights sit in neither group. A month with fewer than 3 nights on either side is left out.
Hotels against B&Bs, guesthouses and apartments, by month
Across the 4 months measured in Phuket with hotels and homes both read, the whole market asked a median from $46 to $80 a night.
| Month | Hotels & hostels | B&Bs, guesthouses & apartments | Whole market | Places a night (hotels + homes) | Nights measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2026 | $47 | $46 | $46 | 200 + 88 | 31 |
| November 2026 | $84 | $51 | $73 | 200 + 89 | 30 |
| December 2026 | $97 | $56 | $80 | 200 + 89 | 31 |
| January 2027 | $92 | $56 | $80 | 200 + 91 | 22 |
Medians per night. The whole market pools every price both halves showed that night; a night counts only when both were read, and a month only with enough such nights.
Places with no price, by month
In each of the 4 months measured in Phuket, the median night had 4% of checked places showing no price (sold out or closed).
| Month | No price, median night | Highest night | Places checked a night (median) |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 2026 | 4% | 2 October 2026: 4% | 208 |
| November 2026 | 4% | 21 November 2026: 4% | 208 |
| December 2026 | 4% | 31 December 2026: 6% | 208 |
| January 2027 | 4% | 1 January 2027: 5% | 208 |
Counted place by place: a checked place with no price that night is sold out or closed. A month already past shows what had no price when it was read.
Event nights, by month
Months with published events in Phuket: 3 of the 4 measured (events in all: 8); the highest night against comparable nights was 31 December 2026 (New Year's Eve), +54%.
| Month | Events | Highest night | Event | Median that night | Against comparable nights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 2026 | 2 | 13 October 2026 | HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej Memorial Day | $55 | +17% |
| December 2026 | 4 | 31 December 2026 | New Year's Eve | $156 | +54% |
| January 2027 | 2 | 1 January 2027 | New Year's Day | $103 | +3% |
Each percentage compares that night's median with measured nights of the same kind (weekday or weekend) within a week either side. It describes the night; it does not say the event moved the price.
