Best time to visit Koh Samui

One of the most stunning and renowned destinations in Thailand, Koh Samui, with its tropical climate and spectacular beaches, is a great location to get away and relax. 

The dry season—December and April is the best time to visit Koh Samui. The temperatures are pleasant, and the island gets minimal rainfall. Due to the humid weather, it is a great time to explore the island, unwind on the beach, and participate in some of the island’s many activities. 

The wetter months are between May and October and have higher humidity levels. So say ‘no swimming’. Despite the rain, visiting Koh Samui can still be a great time. The accommodation cost is cheaper during this period, making it a much more reasonable time to visit.

A five-day trip is excellent for tourists looking for something more in-depth and having more time to spare. These extra two days will allow you to travel further and explore remote beaches and islands. Furthermore, it allows more time to learn more about the culture and history of the island and visit temples and attractions. This tour is perfect for those who want to get off the beaten path.
