Samui island (Koh Samui). It is The Thailand's third largest island, with an area of 228.7 square kilometre and a population of over 50,000 (2008). It is rich with natural resources, white sandy beaches, coral reefs and coconut trees.
Ko Samui, being in Surat Thani Province, has essentially two seasons; warm and tropical most of the year, with a short rainy season. For the rest of the year, since the weather is tropical, when it does rain, it usually doesn’t last long; rain showers of 20–60 minutes are typical. NB. Samui has 2 main rainy seasons, the normal one from may to august, as in the rest of this part of Thailand. The second usually starts in October, and is part on the monsoon season. These rains are extremely heavy and last a long time, and continue until December. The past couple of years has shown that tropical rains in Samui fall at will. Samui's weather is not relatively dry at all. Information from a Samui resident.Samui's weather is relatively dry for the vast majority of the year, with the rainy season being primarily confined to November.| Weather data | |||||||||||||
