Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 15th April 2019 – 21st April 2019

Another Sunday morning, another long slow distance run in the bag and another Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 15th April 2019 – 21st April 2019.

In case you missed it, it's steaming hot at the moment in Thailand. This morning it's already 31C around Koh Samui but it feels like it's in the lower forties. 

Right now I'm still on Koh Lanta for at least another week. It's been very hot here as well. Even during the early mornings, which are usually rather cool here. During last week we had one tropical shower here, last Sunday evening, the day I arrived on the island.

Sweets at display during the recent temple party last month at Bophud temple. The bamboo is filled with coconuts sweetened rice.

Last week it was very hot around Koh Samui. Maximum temperatures reached 36C but it felt much hotter. There was hardly any respite, except a rare tropical thunderstorm yesterday at some parts of the island. Minimum temperatures didn't drop below 28C at night.

The islands and the South in general are however still not as hot as Central and Northern Thailand where the quicksilver reached well over 40C.

A southbound view from the most northern point in Ban Saladan on Koh Lanta. This is the main street at the end of the season. Almost like a ghost town. Many places are already closed or start closing down.

Next week more hot weather is ours to be! From Tuesday on though, it may a bit more cloudy. A tropical thunderstorm or shower is very welcome and may occasionally occur.

Enjoy your time on the island and make sure to use coral reef friendly sunscreen.

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.
