hot season

March - August is the hot season in Koh Samui. The weather is very dry and rather hot in this time of year. In May and June however, you can experience a little increase in the rain. This is a great period to visit Samui, if you can stand 30-35 degrees Celsius daytime, as the Thai New Years Celebration, Songkran, is celebrated between the 12th and 14th of April. This is the largest water splashing festival in the whole of South East Asia.

rain season

September - November is also known as the monsoon season. It is still hot in the daytime and, normally, there are many sunny days. However, you can experience that the evenings are getting cooler. Sometimes the refreshing monsoon showers only last for a moment and then it clears up again. So, every year the monnsoon is different. From a whole week of rain non stop to daily afternoon showers. No year is the same.
