Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 3rd December – 9th December 2018

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 3rd December – 9th December 2018 

It's Sunday morning and once more time to have a look at the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 3rd December – 9th December 2018.

Koh Samui has been struggling with plenty of rain the last week and this Sunday morning was no exception. Hard rain early on in the morning and right now at 10am it's still the same, cloudy and wet. Current temperature at 10am is 26C

Since Tuesday I am on Phuket, enjoying much better weather conditions here compared to Samui. Sometimes an afternoon or evening with hard, but also plenty of sun time. Current temperature near Kata on Phuket at 10am today is 28C and it's partially cloudy.

This morning a participated in a 10km race at Bangtao beach on Phuket, which is near the Phuket Laguna. I did well qith a race over 10.85km in 50'49 minutes and got the 4th place in my age category 50-59 years old. On Phuket that's a good result for me!

Last week, around mid week the rainy season hit Koh Samui full on. Lots of rain, cloudy skies and plenty of flash floods all over the island. If you're really lucky, you will get a power cut thrown in at no extra cost!

Maximum temperatures reached 32C and minimum temperature reached 23C on 7th December.

The forecast is not looking too good for next week. A steady, fairly strong wind and hard rain to light rain pretty much every day with few breaks in the downpour. Let's hope this won't last too long and we can welcome sunnier skies soon enough again.

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.
