New weather website

Found a new weather website

It's called Weather Bonk and covers the province of Surat Thani, of which Koh Samui is part.

It has a nice map of the province and a weeks forecast. I will make a permanent link for this site in the sidebar.

Welcome to May

Welcome to May 2008

May was a bit of a mixed bag last year, rain in the beginning but getting better towards the end of the month.

May carries plenty of sunshine, so the beach lovers should get enough action!

Enjoy this month and if you're up for some diving around Samui or Koh Tao, have a check here, conditions should be good enough!
