Thailand in October
October is a tricky transition month: Phuket and Krabi start drying out toward the end of the month, while Koh Samui is entering its wettest season.
Weather by Region
Phuket/Krabi: rain starts easing off. Koh Samui/Koh Phangan: this is where their wettest season actually begins (roughly October-December), sometimes with significant storms.
Crowds and Prices
Still low season pricing across most of the country.

Who Should Visit
It's especially important to check which coast: Phuket/Krabi are improving, while Koh Samui is actually entering its wettest period — the opposite of what many assume.
