Goodbye to February 2018

Goodbye to February 2018

Only 28 days but they're gone and it's time to say 'Goodbye to February 2018'.

Our island enjoyed another lovely February, one of the best month in the year to actually be on Koh Samui, or to visit.

The temperatures are nice and agreeable, it doesn't get too hot and there's only a few showers throughout the month. Near to perfect!

This month was a school sample, most days were partially cloudy but with plenty of sunshine. There were only six days with some tropical showers and the maximum temperature didn't go over 33C and that was just one day. All other days the temperatures ranged between 29 and 31C Most days did feel warmer though.

Today is another great day in the making, the last day of this month, with a current temperature of 25.9C at 7am and a partially clouded sky. There a few more clouds over the ocean but over Samui it might clear up quickly once the sun starts to warm up.

Goodbye to February 2018; Anybody up for some Southern curries at the Plai Laem market? Nice and spicy?

It was a good month for me as well, I got to spend most of it at home. When I left for work, to Khao Lak, I got to run two 10 km races within 7 hours, a night run in Phuket town and the next day a run at the Siriroj Hospital, near Central Festival on Phuket. Partially running through the same Phuket town roads. 

The PADI IDC on Khao Lak just finished yesterday and I will stay a few more days during the exams for my students and for some more diving. A day trip to the Similan islands is on the menu!

Goodbye to February 2018; Shoot out at Chaweng beach between local Thai people, one person died and one is in ICU.

The biggest and most shocking news this month must have happened yesterday, with a gun shoot out on the middle of Chaweng beach. One person died, the son of a well known local family and one person, a family member of another well known family, is in ICU. 

To say that this must have been a shock to the unsuspecting tourists who were at the beach at that moment, is probably an understatement.

There will be a lot of talk about that in the coming weeks.

That's a wrap up for this month though, hope you enjoyed it when you were here. If you plan to visit, March will be another lovely month around Samui!

Please do 'like' my Koh Samui blog Facebook page and enjoy the beaches around the island or in front of your hotel or resort and get some well deserved rest and a break. If you're done resting or need something else to do, there's plenty of things on offer on and around Koh Samui, you can go snorkeling or diving or take a dive course. You can also enjoy some of the trips I recommend, like a half day gourmet lunch and snorkeling trip at the Southern part of Koh Samui or a photography trip where you get to see the most photo genetic spots on the island or go for a drinks tasting tour if you like a tipple or two.
