Phuket in November

[Scuba Cat Diving]

You can also dive the southern sites from Phuket, no need to go to Koh Lanta. It is usually a 3 day and night trip out there to see the best of it, 2 days is a bit rushed. You can book a boat which covers both the Similans and South Andaman, meaning no need for a hotel

You'll have to change your schedule then, because there really are not many other options.

In my personal experience on liveaboards in SE Asia - budget means small bunks or sleeping on the deck and shared bathrooms, not the best food. As the price goes you, you usually get ensuite and better food. Bump that price up some more and you get air con, warm towels after each dive, even better food. Depends on the level of comfort you're looking for. Newer boats tend to be cleaner by virtue of being newer. Narrow down your choices by schedule and that should give you a better idea of what your options are. Enjoy!

Im also going to be in Phuket for some of November. Even though theres still diving in the similians at that time is it as good at the start of the season compared to if i came back in feb/mar ?

November is the start of the season. Normally excellent visibility, but less chance of mantas or whale sharks.

If I had to pick and couldn't do both I'd go in February/March since there's a better chance of seeing mantas at that time.
