East side is your safest bet at that time.

You're tossing a coin in the air. Heads or tails ? Either place can have two weeks of sunshine or quite a few days of heavy rain. But come and enjoy yourself anyway.

Beautiful here in Phuket right now, gorgeous sunny days, perfect on the beach.

Looking forward to my day off tomorrow, going for a surf down at Kata, then a massage, then some lunch, more surfing, lay out in the sun, maybe some fruit off the cart..............then we have the TV Party !

I'd go with Samui.

Depends how long you come for though, I've not been in Samui where it has rained more than 2/3 days in a row without being followed by at least 4/5 days of sun.
