Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 20^th January – 26^th January 2020

Here we are again with time for the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 20th January – 26th January 2020. Last Sunday of this month, January 2020 and it's sunny and hot! At 10.30am it's already 29C and the quicksilver is climbing.

We're on the road again. A family outing to Rajjaprabha dam near Surat Thani. This morning I ran my second race and second half marathon of the year. For the first time ever I ran in the 60+ age group. I nailed it with a victory in a time of 1:46'30 or a 4'52. This is on a very hilly course. I ended up 15th overall out of 275 participants. A good result, a good race and a good start to the Sunday!

It's warming up here. After a very nice cool early morning, we're now around 31C already.

Off to some shopping in Surat Thani.

Happy new year and welcome to the year of the rat!

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.

It;s Sunday morning and a good time to check the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 28th October – 3rd November 2019. 

The running is out of the way, we went all the way to Rajjaprabha Dam, just South of Surat Thani. The International Mountain Marathon event was on, I participated in the 10km race only though. I managed to place 7th in my age group of 50-59 years old.

 Last week some a mixed weather bag move over Koh Samui. The maximum temperature hit 34C last week, The minimum temperature got stuck at 23C. There were a few tropical showers and some thunderstorms. Nothing too serious though. That's probably coming later this month. November is well known for it's rainy season around Koh Samui.

After the International Mountain Marathon at Rajjaprabha Dam near Surat Thani. I participated in the 10k distance and my family in the 5k distance. Our eldest daughter couldn't join us since she had extra study lessons at school today. The dam lake is in the background.

The forecast for next week is a fair bit clouds, possibly partially cloudy skies and a few showers are possible throughout the week.

Enjoy this coming week, as long as it seems to stay dry. Once we move towards mid November, the rainy season may roar it's 'ugly' head.
