Yesterday saw a very hot day on Samui. The heat seems to drain all energy out of you! Max temp reached 35C

Hi, I will be travelling to Samui this weekend. Will the weather be fine.

Hi Lee,

The weather forecast (Windguru) that I mainly use project some stronger wind the next week and potentially a tropical shower but nothing serious. I don't foresee a problem at this moment and would not expect thunderstorms!

Hope this help for now.

Thanks for your information, Camille. Can I check how long would tropical shower last? Is it whole day or just a few hours a day? Is it still OK to travel to the small islands around Samui?

Hi KS,

A tropical shower would just be for a few hours, if at all. It would also imply that it would dry up rather quickly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Can i seek your advice which is the best beach in Samui with white sandy beach and clear water for snorkelling if i do not wish to take boat to nearby islands?
I will be staying in Bhundhari Resort (chaweng) and not sure if beach around the area is good. From photos, the beach around the resort does not look fantastic.

Hi KS,

The beaches around Samui have in general nice sand but the snorkeling is unfortunately not that great! My favorite beaches are Choengmon in the north east corner of the island and Silver beach just before you get to Lamai.

Hope this helps for now.
