Basically, Koh Samui can be viewed as a year-round destination - similar to Phuket. Nevertheless, there are certain things to consider, especially there are gradual climatic differences to Phuket, for example.
It is relatively hot in Koh Samui and the surrounding islands from March to August. Then the thermometer can climb towards 40 ° C. If you have circulatory problems, you should avoid this phase. For those who love it really hot, this can be exactly the right travel time.
The rainy season is mainly from September to November. It is still pleasantly warm and it rains every now and then. The rain tendency increases slightly from June onwards. However, the same applies here: the rain duration is usually not long and usually the rain comes down at night. Most of the rain falls normally in October and November.
From the end of November to February, the dry and so-called cool season also follows in Koh Samui. Cool is relative, because even in Samui, even at night, the temperature extremely rarely falls below 20 ° C. Dry is also relatively dry on Samui because it can always rain from November to January.
The humidity in Koh Samui is quite high all year round and, especially paired with great heat, can be very stressful for the circulation.
The ideal travel time for Koh Samui with Koh Phangan and Koh Tao is actually the so- called high season from December to April. Then it doesn't rain so hard and it's not that extremely hot. February to April in particular are usually relatively dry (exceptions confirm the rule - see notification of extreme rainfall at the end of March 2011). The high temperatures from March to August, coupled with the high humidity, can be very stressful. However, this phase is very popular with some holidaymakers, but is only recommended for heat-tested people. Normally, it rains the heaviest in October and November, although this phase is also suitable for trips to the region. For bathers, Koh Samui is actually an option all year round because the water temperatures rarely drop below 28 ° C.
