[Samuian]

well let's assume some people had a bad date...

Just bad luck today.

We locals welcome some rain.

All water on the Island comes from the sky.

Weather radar.

Prognosis

Radar simulation

May, June, July = rainy season

You probably already know this, but the best time to visit Southeast Asia in general is from Nov. 12 to Jan. 12. (much cooler and no rain....but more expensive)

sorry my mistake

I am amazed at people who come here and complain about rain. This is the earth; it rains, get over it.

Will be heading for Phangan tomorrow to spend the rest of my stay.

Some of you will be happy when visitors stay away, and yes, this visitor won't return to Samui again. I had no idea it was this overcommercialised. For me this is no Thailand.

"Overcommericialised"? That's an interesting term.

What "Thailand" are you looking for? There's a lot of jungle out there where you could pitch a tent.

Well Mark, asking 600 baht for the last 8 km by a Songthaew/ Taxi-driver is ridiculous, especially when it's not mentioned from the start. I handle BKK, but the mentality on Samui is devilish. It just isn't a good impression when you are there for the first time.

He could pitch a tent or maybe pop into a bar in FV to contemplate his 'Naval' whilst ordering zip n get pissed as to why the bar staff might give him a funny look?
