I want to go on a honeymoon trip to Koh Samui from September 20th to 30th this year. It is said that September is the rainy season. I wonder if it will affect travel and snorkeling?

I happen to be going to Koh Samui and Koh Tao in July, so I am also doing some homework. congratulations! September happens to be in the middle of two rainy seasons! However, I recommend you go in early September because the rainy season starting in October is heavier than the first rainy season! The weather is abnormal now. If we go a little earlier, it will have a big impact on our itinerary!

It is recommended that you stay in Koh Tao for a few days. Koh Samui is a distribution center, and Koh Tao is the real place to play. A one-day snorkeling trip around the island, a one-day diving experience trip, then eating, drinking and relaxing, it's a honeymoon. If you're happy, you can also take a day trip to a national geological park around Samui, but I heard it takes 2 hours by boat.

Long Beach and Sapa are not special. There are not many domestic tour groups in Koh Samui, so it is more special. And the scenery seems to be better.

Also, I recommend you this website: /, it is a website run by a Chinese who is a diving instructor in Koh Tao. It has a lot of information.

Climate:

Koh Tao is located in the Gulf of Thailand and has a tropical monsoon climate. Dry northeasterly winds prevail from December to April of the following year, and precipitation is scarce, which is called the dry season; 5 From January to August, humid southwesterly winds prevail and there are often showers, which is called the rainy season. From late October to mid-December, it enters the second rainy season, with heavier rainfall and cooler temperatures, also known as the cool season.

The currents in the bay are affected by the South China Sea monsoon and change with the seasons. When the southwest monsoon prevails, the current circulates in a clockwise direction, except at the mouth of the bay in a counterclockwise direction; when the northeast monsoon prevails, the current in the bay still circulates in a clockwise direction, but in the eastern part of the bay, it circulates in a counterclockwise direction.
