'After' the rain? It has been raining for the last 4 months on Samui (at least on the east side), so any answers to this question will probably last for some time....

4 months? really?

I think the OP was referring to the flooding in November and was wondering how the cleanup effort had gone, not whether or not Samui is getting rainshowers.

Samui is returning to normal. Yes there is still some clean up to be done but the roads are not at all impassable although many potholes are still to be repaired and sand cleared so care is needed especially on motorbikes.

The power outages finished before Christmas and were never for days. They were repairing the main supply cable from the mainland and had phased cuts over three days so you were never without power for more than two or three hours and they kept a very good schedule so you knew when you were going to be on or off.

Resorts are running as normal and very full and the beaches are ok.

The usual doom and gloom merchants spreading their version of the "good news!"

Come and enjoy.

PS The sun has been shining for the past week and seems likely to continue. March should be fine.
