In May 2022, my fiancé and I spent five nights on Koh Phangan, a gorgeous island in the Gulf of Thailand. We beach hopped, snorkeled, swam in waterfalls, and enjoyed an incredible sunset dinner. After researching weather, the islands in the Gulf seemed like our best bet for sunshine in May. With very occasional afternoon showers while we were there, that bet paid off.
