Welcome to January 2020
It's the first day of the New Year and even decade, certainly time to say welcome to January 2020.
January usually is a nice month around the Samui archipelago. Although we're supposed to be in the dry season, January can still have a few showers. However, this should be your typical shower. Short but hard.
On the other hand, last year we narrowly escaped typhoon Pabuk! Especially early on in the month there's a higher chance of rain. The last 3 years we actually had more rain than average. Still, according to statistics, we should have an average of 11 days during a typical January on Samui with rain! Check out my 'weather statistics page'.

In this vein, we had a few showers yesterday, during new years eve!
Welcome to January 2020
Wat Ratchathammaram or Wat Sila Nguu in Hua Thanon, but near Lamai! This is the the "BOT" (โบสถ์), which is the finest building where monks are assembled for religious rites (สังฆกรรม) such as morning and evening prayers or ordination. It is the most sacred part of the temple. This Bot has a very distinct red color and is easily recognizable. You can see it from street, when you pass by. Check this link out when this Bot was still under construction in June 2008.
Having said all that, it looks however, that the first week of this new year looks rather nice. Today we may have some strong wind and a few showers. The rest of the week should see plenty of sunshine. A great start to the month, year and decade!
Come 3rd January, I will be off direction Koh Lanta, for my first PADI IDC of the year. I am planning to run 2 half marathons, but both on the mainland. One in Trang and one at the Rajjaphraba Dam. Respectively on 19th and 26th January.
In the meantime, enjoy your stay on the island and most certainly a Happy New Year to you all!
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.
Join me in a private dive trip with yours sincerely!
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.
