Ideas

  • Thai massage: an hour of traditional massage costs about 300 to 500 THB in the village.
  • Cooking class: learn to make curry paste, pad thai and spring rolls with local cooks.
  • Dive theory: start an Open Water course with the theory sessions while it pours.
  • Cafés and bakeries: settle in with coffee, a book and Wi-Fi.
  • Yoga: some studios and resorts offer drop-in classes.
  • Snorkelling in the rain: if the sea is calm, the water is just as warm and the fish do not mind.

Plan around the weather

Check the forecast and radar in the morning. Storms often build in the afternoon, so do boat trips and hikes early and keep afternoons flexible. See Best time to visit.
