Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 13th January – 19th January 2020

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 13th January – 19th January 2020

Sunday morning and the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 13th January – 19th January 2020 is calling.
Koh Samui has a partially clouded sky, a nice bit of wind and a slight chance of some tropical showers later today. Current temperature at 10am is already 28C.

After having spent all of last week on Koh Lanta, I do find myself back in Trang this morning. After yesterday's last day of diving, I ran a half marathon this morning in Trang. The Tuntieng half marathon, which I ran last year as well. This year they got the distance right; 21.16km. I ran it in 1:37'55 or a 4'37 pace, in case that means anything to you at all. It's a new personal best and I'm well chuffed with that!
The weather in Trang is sunny and at 10am the current temperature is 28C. Soon I will hit the road, back to Koh Samui.

A traditionally build house in Hua Thanon. According to Hainan style houses. Hainan is an island in the South Cina Sea. It's China's most southern point and some of the very first Samui settlers/residents were from Hainan. 

Last week saw a nice week. Monday and Wednesday saw some isolated showers. The rest of the week saw sunshine under a blue to partially clouded sky. A nice week for early January around the Samui archipelago. Keep it coming!

The Chom View hotel on Koh Lanta in Krabi province. This is the second hotel on Koh Lanta that I've seen, that has many statues in it's garden. Strange but kind of funny and fascinating.

The coming week is looking good again. A nice bit of wind until Wednesday with a possible tropical shower. Nothing too serious though. There should be enough sunshine next week as well. Time to enjoy your time on the island and have a look around. Explore but drive carefully!

The clock tower in down town Trang. A city mark, near the railway station.

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.

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st January 2019 – 27th January 2019

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st January 2019 – 27th January 2019 


Early evening, on the ferry back to Koh Samui and better late not than not all, here is the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st January 2019 – 27th January 2019. 

It's been a long and busy day today. A very early wake up call at 3am, since I was participating in a half marathon in Trang city. At 11am we left Trang and via Patthalung and Thalenoi we made our way back to the pier in Don Sak. 

Koh Samui had a nice and dry day with a partially clouded sky. Maximum temperature reached 30C.

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st January 2019 – 27th January 2019; A small road side shrine. You can find them all over Koh Samui. This is one is in front of a tree on the road to Big Buddha. Many trees in Thailand are considered 'holy' and they will have garlands wrapped around them, a shrine in front of them and offerings to accompany the shrine. The offerings are usually small and simple, some red Fanta seems to be very popular, a small piece of food and some incense.

Last week saw a fairly nice week with some rain towards the end of the week. Maximum temperatures reached 31C and minimum temps reached 26C. A fairly even week with a slighlty wet ending, although the weekend was dry again.

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 21st January 2019 – 27th January 2019. The clock tower in Trang at 4am. The picture is not that great but it looked really nice with green lights covering the tower. This morning I ran a half marathon in Trang. Hence we spend the weekend there.

For next week it's looking very sunny and hot for tomorrow. More partial cloud coverage for the rest of the week with some showers here and there. Time to start looking forward to February, one of the nicest months of the year to be on Koh Samui!

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.
