October is marked by an average daily temperature of 29 degrees Celsius.

October ushers in a fair amount of rain, with half the month experiencing some form of rainfall. Sunshine Ais one the agenda for 7 hours a day, and generally, October in Ko Samet is pleasant.
October is also a great month to go fishing. Many beaches, including the Ao Thian, feature numerous fishing boats you can hire for a trip around the island to some bustling fishing spots. If you have hooked yourself a catch, you can take your fish along to one of the many local eateries and have the chef cook it up to your personal order. You can't get fresher than that!
Baan Ploy Samed Restaurant offers such a service, plus specialises in serving local seafood as well as delicious Thai dishes.
Sang Thian Beach Resort located on the Ao Thian beach is both affordable and high quality. The hotel is literally a jump away from the beach and all its facilities are pristine clean and well-maintained. The staff is polite and courteous - even by local standards.
