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. 

- Phu­ket Air­port: The air­port was ope­ra­ting throughout the past days wit­hout huge delays.

- Kra­bi Air­port: The air­port can be acces­sed as nor­mal.

Wettersituation Koh Samui Phuket Stand 01.04.11

The wea­ther in sou­thern Thai­land is sho­wing signs of impro­ve­ment, and things are star­ting to return to nor­mal. Howe­ver, the­re is still some dis­rup­ti­on.

The cur­rent situa­ti­on is as fol­lows:

Phu­ket:

The air­port and all major roads remain open.

The rough sea con­di­ti­ons are pre­ven­ting smal­ler boats from ope­ra­ting, so all of our island tours and speed boat trips are can­cel­led until fur­ther noti­ce.

Lar­ge fer­ries from Phu­ket to Koh Phi Phi are still ope­ra­ting as nor­mal.

Koh Samui:

The floods in Cha­weng, Lamai, Maenam and Bophut are star­ting to rece­de, alt­hough water levels are still qui­te high. Vehi­cles can now dri­ve around most of the island, albeit with cau­ti­on, hence jour­ney times are lon­ger than expec­ted.

Samui air­port is back to almost full capa­ci­ty, and most stran­ded pas­sen­gers have been trans­fer­red off the island. Any peop­le who are left should be able to lea­ve very soon.

Fer­ries to /​ from the main­land and Koh Samui are now ope­ra­ting again.

Fer­ries from the main­land to /​ from Koh Pha Ngan are now ope­ra­ting again.

Only fer­ries to /​ from Koh Tao, and bet­ween Koh Samui and Koh Pha Ngan are sus­pen­ded – but the­se are expec­ted to resu­me ope­ra­ti­ons tomor­row.

As the sea is still too rough for small boats to ope­ra­te safe­ly, all of our boat trips and sea excur­si­ons around Samui are can­cel­led until fur­ther noti­ce.

Kra­bi:

All fer­ries were ope­ra­ting as usu­al this morning, but were forced to stop their ser­vices this after­noon due to bad wea­ther.  We expect that they should be ope­ra­ting as nor­mal tomor­row unless the wea­ther wor­sens signi­fi­cant­ly over­night.

All of our sea excur­si­ons around Kra­bi are sus­pen­ded until fur­ther noti­ce.

Kra­bi and Trang air­ports are still open and ope­ra­ting as nor­mal.
