The grooviest part of the year is between late May until November (the monsoon season). When I was there, it rained a hardly a couple of times, but then quickly dried up after. Many people visit in the high season (November to March) because of good temperatures, blue skies and low rainfall. As a lead tourism is at its highest and everything can be a little more pricey. Hotels and tours can be quite huddled and some tourist hot spots are not quite so laid back. I was in Samui for the last two weeks of March 2008 and had a outstanding time – I always do!

It sounds to me though that this potential conflict was, as is so often the case, averted by someone - you - just sitting quietly and saying 'sorry'...from the heart - if only it happened a little bit more often, I am sure the world would be a kinder place. <br />Off to Greece on Thursday, windsurfing for 10 days....am taking 'Bananagrams' to entertain the children!....Mxx L, Have been following the trip with interest….it all sounds wonderful and beautiful and how brilliant to be able to spend this time away with your Father.

I can perfectly relate to this, having experienced something similar in Lusaka airport as teenagers, where my sister innocently took a photo of the Zambian airforce parked outside!! In those days one could not of course delete photos, so they wanted to smash/conficscate her camera! Have also had a near arrest for doing a U-turn near Mugabe's mansion in Harare some years back.<br /><br />I have also experienced a sudden and unexpected compassionate turnaround in the most horrible officials, when death, illness, bereavement is mentioned. Glad you got off without further troubles! Oh no!
