When people have nothing to talk about, they talk about the weather. But when it comes to rains in the trip, it turns out that for many it almost the most important question. I already wrote about the weather in Thailand by months, and laid out a small post about the rainy season, but separately I would like to briefly tell you about the rainy season on Samui, for me asked about it repeatedly. Moreover, it so happened that the only rainy season that I saw with my own eyes was just on Samui, yes, and with a real flood!
Samui’s rainy season
Official figures are such that the rainiest months on the island – This is the period from October to January. And November and December are the most wet. However, as practice has shown, the season for the season is not have to. Sometimes, it’s just some rain, but sometimes a whole flood, just as lucky.
The wettest months on Samui
When we went to Samui this year, we were also afraid that there would be too “wait”, still wanted to buy more. But October generally almost all was sunny and not for the rainy season did not like. November weather deteriorated, storms began, rain sometimes went a few days in a row, bored, of course, but I can not say that right is very critical. Often it rained only nights, or daytime, but quickly ended. Just a few days I can remember from the whole of November, when it was pouring in a row, not ceasing. Just at that moment a mini flood happened on Samui

The rainy season on Samui “continues”!
In the end, I made the following conclusion: if you really, really don’t like the rains, or if you are traveling for a short time, when every day counts, then this period is better not to go on Samui. There are other islands on the choice is true, if you need it with the infrastructure, then there is only one Phuket And so, nothing to fear the rainy season and floods. By the way, they happen and not in the “official” rainy season, so from everything you will not be saved.
