The Center is situated at the end of the promontory, your stay at the PMBC, as a result, will be in a private atmosphere. Guest scientists can have access to nearby provinces or some of the adjacent islands for their collecting purposes.

The Climate

The Northeast monsoon brings sunny and dry weather with calm seas and winds to Phuket from November to May. The Southwest monsoon, from May to October brings heavy rain and thunderstorms to change the face of the island into a real Tropical Rain Forest Island. The year round temperatures vary from 21 to 35 degree
