Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 2nd July – 8th July 2018

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 2^nd July – 8^th July 2018 

Sunday morning, long slow distance run done and time for the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 2nd July – 8th July 2018.

Today it's nice and blue, with a thin layer of clouds and at 11am it's 30C. It's going to be a hot day, enjoy it whilst it last, since the forecast for next week is not looking very good.

Last week saw some hard thunderstorms and tropical showers, mostly during the afternoon and/or evening/night. During the afternoon the wind also seems to pick up each day.

Maximum temperatures ranged in the lower thirties Celsius.

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 2nd July – 8th July 2018; The Guan Yu statue in Hua Thanon. Well worth a visit to get a glimpse of the Hainanese culture on Koh Samui. This can be observed in the temple with the statue and the original Hainan style house still available in Hua Thanon. The Samui Festival marathon event, come 30th September will have a marathon turning point just a few hundred meters short of this temple.

For next week there's a lot of rain and very strong winds predicted. The wind will start to pick up tomorrow and reach maximum strength Tuesday evening all the way through to Friday morning. This will be accompanied by plenty of rain and isolated showers. Monsoon is covering all of Thailand but Samui is not getting the worst of it.

Stay tuned and despite the not so great forecast, I do hope you will enjoy your time on Koh Samui if you will be here this week.

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. You may also opt for a very special dinner experience at The Thai Experience. Behind closed doors, reservation only and a very enjoyable and well worthwhile way of spending an evening on Samui. Authentic Thai food and a great atmosphere. Can highly recommend this experience. Contact me for more detailed information on any of the options mentioned.
