Samui in July 2025 – Is it worth going on vacation? Weather and reviews, air and water temperature, is it possible to swim, beaches without waves, prices in hotels and on excursions. How to do Samui in early July and closer to August, where to go and go with the children, EUROTRAVELER found out.
Thailand, as everyone knows about today, is not the best place in the world for a summer vacation. After all, at this time there is hot, humid, and, most importantly, rainy.
Seeing a similar weather forecast of about 7 out of 10 people who planned a journey to those lands will deposit it until better times. But the other three or stubbornly continue to persist in their delusion and go to rest on Phuket in July (today even in the summer the influx of tourists), or will spend a little more effort on studying available information.
Nevertheless, they will confirm the known hypothesis that any rule has its own exceptions. And in Thailand, this is Ko Samui, who was freely located on the west coast of the Gulf of Siam.
The island is large and even well -known. But, alas, in terms of popularity, an uniformly losing mighty competitor is Phuket.
However, in July, the weather is such that he suddenly becomes a real favorite. After all, while Phuket bathes in the rains and constantly observes red flags on the shores, strictly forbidden bathing, his colleague in the Gulf of Siamese more often sees the sun than clouds. At the same time, it does not particularly suffer from streams of heavenly moisture and rarely sees the sea truly worried.
At the same time, there are nothing on Samui in the middle of summer. Moreover, a significant part of them are the expanses permanently residing in Thailand and well -known with the characteristics of the local climate.
Weather for Samui in July
It differs with rare stability – primarily in the sense of temperature. From year to year, it is practically not subject to fluctuations!
So the air temperature at Samui is in early July, that in August is +29-31 ° C in the afternoon. And at night it decreases slightly, to +26-28 ° C maximum-you should take this into account when choosing clothes for relaxation. And leave warm sweaters and sweaters at home, freeing a place in a suitcase for a large number of summer dresses and sundresses, t -shirts, topics and shorts.
Do not forget to protect the skin from burns with a high SPF factor-in local stores you will not find a large assortment. And applying sunscreen in these latitudes is best every day and not once. Since even in cloudy weather (and in July she prevails to Samui) you can burn out very much – what to take with you to the sea to Thailand.
Should I take a raincoat on vacation? We do not think so – unlike Phuket, in the middle of summer, the samui will rain much less often, the average monthly sediment volume barely exceeds 100 mm.
In the reviews, therefore, with surprise, they write that for the entire time of 10-14-day relaxation only several times forced to rain. And he was, if he was strong, he walked with the strength for an hour or one and a half. Some tourists are even more lucky – they only hear showers – how they pound the roof of the bungalow at night.
Humidity, of course, will still be high-from 80-85% and higher. But, given that air temperatures on the island in July rarely leave the range +30-32 degrees Celsius, it will be transferred without special physical suffering. If you: young and (or) are relatively healthy.
The winds in the indicated period are strong enough, because you rarely find a complete calm at sea. But too large waves, rather, is an exception to the rules.
Is it possible to swim
The features of the summer climate on Samui, of course, most positively affect the quality of the beach holiday. So yes – in July you can not only roam the beach and inhale the sea air, but also constantly swim.
Water in the Gulf of Siamese in the middle of the month is warmed up to stable +29-30 ° C. And if you correctly choose the beach for your own needs, you can enjoy water procedures literally every day.
It is worth remembering that Chaweng is more suitable for loving noisy entertainment of youth. And the fact that in July there may be junk streams near it.
Lamai is addressed to family, well, or, at least, a calm vacationer. In the middle of summer, he rarely sees large waves, and swimming next to it is safe.
Prices 2025
The cost of a flight from a European megalopolis, whether Moscow or London, will cost about 500 € per passenger one way and in 800 – 1,000 € – in both. At the same time, you will have to spend from 18 hours in each direction and make a number (or only one) of transit transplants: in Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok.
Is this an occasion in order to initially plan an integral journey? And on the way to call on 2-3 see Bangkok, for example? This has its own reason …
Now about the Samui hotels – the prices for them are much more pleasant. In particular, for 200-250 € per week you can rent a room for two in a modest, but clean and cozy Utopia Resort right on Lamai beach. Large numbers, cleaning every day, a pool (albeit small), there is a beach-right outside the door-is it necessary to desire something more on vacation?!
We recommend one more wonderful on Lamai – because the “species” hotel is Lamai BayView Boutique Resort. The main “feature” is a panorama of the bay, which opens directly from the windows of Bungalo. Again, here is very quiet – you will not interfere with the noise from neighboring hotels. A large pool also looks a significant advantage.
Next to the Cavveng beach, for approximately similar money, you can remove a small but separate studio with your own kitchen – Chaweng Apartment. The apartments are located at some distance from the beach, which is more plus than a minus – because it allows you to take a break from the noise.
You can rent a bike for samui for only 150 baht per day and even less. But excursions with guides are not so cheap: to get acquainted with the main attractions of the island, you will have to spend from 50-60 €. About so much that it is curious, there is a one -day journey to the Ang Tong archipelago.
What to do
The main incentive, which makes us decide and come to Samui in July, undoubtedly, the local climate must be recognized. Allowing regularly relaxed rest on the beaches and generally enjoy life, while the rest of Thailand Carrying his teeth Desperately waiting for the next sunny day.
An important factor is a small number of tourists – foreigners stubbornly do not notice the advantages and continue to break the door with the inscription “Phuket”. And this, of course, can be used – there is a samui something to see a to a beautiful nature to a tourist.
Without fail, you should go to Ang Tong, an exceptionally beautiful archipelago, which can be reached with the samui and independently (about 2 hours on the road). Parks also go to Pangan (30 minutes), the “island of Lunar Parties.” And, part -time, the place where travelers who have been in Thailand prefer to relax and relax from the worldly fuss.
In about 2-2.5 hours, you can get to the shrouded with gloomy fame, but surprisingly picturesque to Tao. Well, to those who are not able to sit in one place for a long time, we will advise you to go to see Phuket. On the way you will have to spend from 7.5 hours (a bunch of steam-autobus), but as a reward you will get the opportunity to personally compare the July condition of these two popular Thai resorts.
As for Samui itself, it has several panoramic sites that deserve ambiguous reviews of a tiger zoo with an aquarium, a snake farm. And also – an elephant nursery and a small, but quite suitable Samui Water Park water park for children.
