People hate having their vacations ruined by torrential
rainfall and snow. Fortunately, the Koh Samui weather is affected by two
seasons only, which doesn’t include snow, so vacationers will only have to worry
about the rain.
Lots of folks from all over the planet like to
plan their vacations during the month of July for whatever reasons they may
have. However, this is essentially the worse time of year to plan a holiday to
Thailand and mainly because it’s expected to rain hard in certain areas,
including Samui.
However, while it does rain during this month
in Thailand’s second largest island, it only typically rains for a short period
during the afternoon. Moreover, it lasts for a short duration of time, which
may range somewhere in between five to thirty minutes. Both locals and tourists
alike actually enjoy the little rain shower that takes place in the afternoon
since it helps cool everything down, as well as give a wonderful “glistening
look” to all the plants and structures it touches.
The average Koh Samui weather in July is pretty
good, with temperatures measuring approximately 29 degrees Celsius; the lowest
it reaches is around 23 degrees Celsius, making it an excellent place to visit
during this particular time of the year.
Moving forward, there are plenty of things to
do when visiting this islet in July – plenty of foreigners choose to have their
weddings hosted on this romantic island during this month. While planning a
wedding during a time of year when it’s expected to rain sounds a bit unreasonable,
local tradition says otherwise – rain that touches the bride and groom is
actually a good thing, since it’s believed to purify their bodies and souls,
thereby allowing them to start anew in holy matrimony.
Other activities to do during the afternoon
rain shower include having a meal or a few Thai beers at the beach. Most
resorts have rain screens to keep their guests dry, thereby allowing them to
enjoy hearty meals and alcoholic beverages while enjoying the ocean view.
For those who’d like to stay indoors during the
rainy Samui weather, there is a wide range of spas to head on over to. Many
accommodations offer such facilities within their compounds. Samui is considered
as one of the best spa destinations in all of Asia, so indulging in this activity
while the rain pours (again, doesn’t last too long) is always an option!
