Welcome to July 2011

Welcome to July 2011

It's the beginning of anew month around Samui and although a tad bit late, it's still a good time to give you the thumbs up on July.

This month is part of a slight monsoon time and the occasional shower should not surprise you. Rain will most likely occur during the evenings and thee may also be some occasional strong winds. Last year was a fairly nice July month, the three years before that were relatively wet. Today saw a dry day on Samui though with the sun coming out again, so let's keep our fingers for more sun filled days during this month.

For me personally it will be a very busy month with a PADI IDC currently under way on Koh Samui and later this month a PADI IDC kicking off in Osan which is located in South Korea. That's definitely a first for me and I'm looking forward to that! Stay tuned and find out more about this upcoming trip.

Yesterday's elections have been clearly won by the Phue Thai, a political party run by fugitive, former PM Thaksin Shinawatra. His younger sister Yingluck Shinawatra will be the new and first female PM in Thailand. Interesting weeks ahead for Thailand.

Today is going to be a big day for Thailand, with nationwide elections for a new government are being held. The outcome of these elections could have a very long term impact on the country. Next week will be very interesting.
