kebabman7 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Apologies if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find anything. What is the weather usually like at the end of August/beginning of September. I've been to Thailand many times but usually during the peak seasons Jan/Feb. Last time I was in Samui it was during Feb so just wondered what its usually like in Aug/Sept - I've seen that the rainfall is alot heavier at this time of year - does it normally persist down all day long or is it a quick deluge followed by some sun?

sbk Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Normally, the rainy (monsoon) season starts in October. Traditionally Sept is quite nice. But, with global warming and a La Nina this year, nothing is guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m155g0ld Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi you lucky island dwellers! I live in BKK and venture down to your neck-of-the-woods whenever work permits (not often enough!). I have a friend in the UK who is planning to honeymoon in Samui/Koh Phangan sometime next year. She doesn't have any dates set in stone yet and has asked me what would be the best time of year to come. I know the weather is pretty unpredictable but, if you had to hedge your bets, when would you suggest would be best? Cheers! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 1 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 January and February, low humidity and a bit cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Just make sure to come well after New Year, otherwise it is too crowded. But yes, generally, the weather is quite fine in Jan and Feb (I'd go for Feb myself as then you are sure to be out of the rainy season). But it is warm in the day, cooler at night and as John says, not so humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m155g0ld Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 That's great, I'll pass the information on... Thanks for your help as always guys! L xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) comes this song to mind..."if it's rainin' it's rainin'... But really unless it rains or it's night, weather is usually pretty good anywhere! August/Sept. should be safe. the rest has been said already...to Satellite Pic: Forget the forecast's, they are most of the time looking in a crystalball (it seems)..
