1 Ko Samui good 31° 4d — 31C max, 4 rainy days

Fares are the typical return from London for April departures, in GBP; a dash means none has been seen yet for April departures.

Every verdict here is the destination's own: ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. Nothing is said about Thailand as a whole that was not first measured at each place in it.
