Temporarily closing down of the blog As the title says, I'm in the process of Temporarily closing down of the blog. Due to Covid I can't find the time or motivation to continue this blog.

Goodbye to November 2020 Hello there, it's about time to say goodbye to November 2020! Yes, we're a day early and yes, last month I forgot to write a 'Goodbye to October blog'!  The month of November usually means rainy season on Koh Samui and it's archipelago. Not so much this year though. Sure, we had a few very hard rain showers. Some accompanied by very strong winds. However, they never lasted very long. During a classic Samui rainy season, we can have days on an end with rain. Varying from hard to a drizzle and back to hard again. Nothing of that so far this year. Maybe some of that ..read more

Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 12th October – 18th October 2020 A day late, but nonetheless, here's the Koh Samui, Thailand weekly weather update; 12th October – 18th October 2020. My excuse for being late, I was too tired yesterday. After I completed the first episode of the Samui Trail, I was beat and spent for the rest of the day. It was 'only' 14km but with some of the most difficult and technical courses I ever ran on. Well, running is maybe too much said. It was hardcore trail, slipping and sliding through the jungle.
