I wouldn't expect any rain and storms in the magnitude Samui just experienced, that was very unusual.Camillehttp://thailandhotelrecommendation.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-45572181842425934422010-11-07T23:27:16.402+07:002010-11-07T23:27:16.402+07:00we are arriving on the 10th to stay at Centara in ...we are arriving on the 10th to stay at Centara in Cheweng Beach.

Hope i am able to visit Koh samui some other time.<br />So since the regions on the other side and closer to phuket would be drier does that mean that we will be able to do snorkelling and other water sports ?<br /><br />cheers,<br />KalaKalzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596744491847781943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-62033630715768642712010-11-03T21:58:46.479+07:002010-11-03T21:58:46.479+07:00Hi Kala,

After searching a lot we finally zeroed in Koh samui and Koh phangan.We spoke to the santhiya resorts and are about to finalise it. When we asked them they told us that the weather will be usually dry during that time. But I am a bit sceptical and wanted a third opinion. Do you think we should move it to say Koh Lanta or Krabi/Phi Phi regions considering the weather there? Its a real special occasion as we both are marrying after 16 long years of courtship. We wanted to make it special and dont like the idea of moving our holiday to some other country.:(<br /><br />Looking forward to your replies.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />KalaKalzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596744491847781943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-45034437544846641002010-11-03T16:28:53.179+07:002010-11-03T16:28:53.179+07:00Hi KS,

As I mentioned before, we typically only get one rough period per year, in varying degrees, so after this spell, looking back at earlier years, the rough part should be over. Most likely 5th December should have better conditionsCamillehttp://hotels-samui.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-90192105223388400642010-11-03T11:55:56.453+07:002010-11-03T11:55:56.453+07:00Thanks for your reply, Camille.

We will be landing on Sat night and if there is a thunderstorm, we may be caught. <br />Can I ask if early Dec (say 5 Dec) would be a better time to travel to Samui? Will the heavy downpour subside by then? <br /><br />KSKSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-38758880948538392702010-11-03T11:45:36.870+07:002010-11-03T11:45:36.870+07:00Hi,

Out of experience it's usually one period of heavy rain and after that things go back to 'normal', this is however not a guarantee. <br /><br />If you check my reports you can see that there was heavy flooding and plenty of flash floods, however, due to the new drainage system, once it stops raining the floodings should disappear rather swiftly.<br />The airport was closed but opened last night with one outbound and one inbound flight from/to Bangkok.<br /><br />Hope this helps for now.Camillehttp://www.idcthailand.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304494881510195815.post-90796162830451513252010-11-03T11:40:17.857+07:002010-11-03T11:40:17.857+07:00Hi,

Can I <br />consult you if you advise us to travel to Samui this weekend on Sat? <br />According to weather forecast, still heavy rain till Sat. Sun onwards will <br />be better. I am concerned abt flooding and safety as my children will be <br />travelling with me. Is there heavy flooding so far? Heard the airport was <br />closed yesterday or day before, is it true?
