Koh Samui During Dry Season
Defined by the fewest rainy days and a summer solstice heat, the sunniest months in Koh Samui are February and March, both of which also offer the least median cloud cover. These months are perfect for the beach and for those dreaming of tan lines and having a good time under the sun.

2. Have Fun at Aquaparks
On the other hand, Aquapark Chaweng is a fun, family-friendly beach activity that features eight giant inflatable floaties like the five-meter high iceberg wall, human catapult, hamster wheels, an excellent trampoline, as well as objects of various sizes to jumpstart a memorable getaway experience.

The most torrential rainfall welcomes the monsoon season from September through November, making it the least time of the year for beach trips, scuba diving, or hiking. However, there are many amazing activities that can make your vacation just as memorable and relaxing, such as the following:
