Update weather condition Thailand

Plea­se let us update you about the cur­rent wea­ther con­di­ti­on in Sou­thern Thai­land. 

The wea­ther con­di­ti­on in Koh Samui is almost back to nor­mal today. The­re is no more rain. Only some lower are­as are still affec­ted with the flood, but most are­as are clea­ned up or are under the clea­ning pro­cess.

Most are­as have not been affec­ted with the flood in Phu­ket as the­re is no hea­vy the­re. For Kra­bi, it is slight­ly clou­dy sky with sunshi­ne today.

Air­port and Air­lines

- Samui Air­port: The regu­lar­ly sche­du­led flights of Thai Air­ways and Bang­kok Air­ways have been resu­med as air visi­bi­li­ty at Samui Air­port is safe for flight ope­ra­ti­ons. The air­port is not crow­ded any­mo­re as the num­ber of stran­ded pas­sen­gers has redu­ced. Still, out­go­ing flights from Samui are slight­ly delay­ed due to the check-in pro­ce­du­re.
