Milder Rain
Despite being the rainy season, Koh Samui doesn’t experience heavy rains compared to other Asian countries. If it is raining around the place expect that it will only last for a few minutes to a few hours and not a whole day! Another good news is that there aren’t that many strong rains either.
Exceptional Service
Thailand is known to be very hospitable to tourists. And the high quality of their service and work is a testament to it. It is just that during the off-peak season there will be fewer tourists and a low volume of guests, which would mean better and memorable service will be expected throughout the stay in Thailand.
Festivals Forever
Don’t know what to do during the off-peak season? Well, there is no limit to the imagination when it comes to having fun. Why not challenge oneself to swim in the fresh waters while enjoying the rainfall or gear up and trek into the jungles of Thailand? Interestingly during these months, there are several events lined up for tourists to attend, one of them is the EDM festival. Guests can dance to the music of well-known international and favourite local artists while they showcase their music.
