Just wondering which would you recommend in July/August, I know its the rainy season so was looking at Ko Sumai but I love Phuket, we went years ago and would love the kids to see it but has anyone gone at that time and would you say rain would ruin the holiday or is it only on and off a few times during the day? Any advice

I've been in Koh Samui in August. (also Bangkok and Chiang Mai) The rain doesn't stop you doing anything- yes, it rained every day, but for quick bursts then it was hot and sunny again.

Koh Samui is dry in our summer. Phuket is rainy

It rained every day for 3 weeks in August 1991!

We went in 2016 in August and it was dry.
traditionally the gulf side is dry in summer.
the andaman side is dry in our winter

I went to Koh Samui in July. Was a couple of downpours but over quickly and back to hot - sunny. Didn't stop us at all!
