For those of you lucky enough to be hitting Samui’s sunny shores this May – you’ve got a few treats in store. Thailand has a healthy dose of public holidays – at least 14 by our count [compared to the UK's meagre 8] – and May has a good few.
What’s on: Samui in May. First, on May 1st, is Labour Day. (Expect banks & many shops to be closed). Next, on May 5th, is Coronation Day and celebrations last for a few days.
Another big event on Koh Samui in May is the regatta. From May 28th to June 2nd, enjoy racing by day and parties by night. If not sailing yourself, you can watch the action from many of the island’s beaches – Chaweng, Bophut and Maenam are said to be the best.
Samui weather in May. As for the weather? Glad you asked. Koh Samui weather has seasonal variation, but May is (typically) still the hot, dry season. Expect temperatures anywhere between 28-35 degrees Celsius – perhaps with the occasional shower. May on Samui gets an average of 215 hours of sun. That’s almost 7 hours a day – sound good? We think so. It’s a great time to visit Koh Samui!
