Expect lots of sunshine, but be prepared for the occasional rain shower!
MaxHeavy rainfall followed by sunshine has created an unpredictable climate. Visitors should expect both sunshine and rain.
WilcoSunny, warm weather with rare brief showers. For people who like a tropical climate, it was a paradise on earth.
Thijmen BastiaansenIt rained frequently, but fortunately there were also sunny periods. Most of the time the temperature was around 32 degrees. Ideal for lovers of tropical weather, but a bit wet.

TiesThe warm temperatures were perfect for beach days. Even though it is a little humid at times, I am very satisfied.
Martha DragstraWonderful , beautiful weather every day and if it rained a bit I just liked it. a quiet beach where I stayed I went to Koh Samui Bophut every year for two months in recent years and well in that fine resort Palm Beach. My last trip was 10-1 - 2019 unfortunately corona came between. I miss it very much. by circumstance illness and age also plays a role, so I hope that, that was not the last trip was, to that cozy wonderful Thailand.
