Welcome to February 2019 and goodbye to January

Welcome to February 2019 and goodbye to January


First day of the month and here we go with a warm Welcome to February 2019 and goodbye to January.

Due to having a very busy day yesterday, there was no time for a Goodbye to January message. Hence its coming right now! This January started out on a scary note, with a real typhoon heading towards Samui. Luckily enough it all turned out to be a storm in a glass of water so to speak. Typhoon Pabuk just turned it's direction away from Samui and hit the mainland instead.
It was wet though through the first two weeks of last month around the island.
The last two weeks were more in line with that January usually has to offer, plenty of partially clouded skies and occasionally a shower. Plenty of sunshine was also to be had. Temperatures remained very nice and agreeable with slightly colder than average temperatures in the first week of the month.

Now let's move on to February. This is usually one of the nicest month to be on the island. Plenty of sunshine but not too hot. Great diving conditions in general as well. All around one of the best month of the year on Koh Samui.
Come and enjoy it!

Most of this month I will be in the Philippines though. on Malapascua to be exactly. First two days in Cebu City, where I will run a half marathon come Sunday 3rd February. I will be back on Samui during the last week of this month. Do check in for regular updates though.

Welcome to February 2019 and goodbye to January' A jeepney in Cebu City in the Philippines. Will be in Cebu City for two days before I move to Malapascua. Malapascua is a small island famous for it's thresher shark sightings. I will teach a PADI IDC there.

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.
