One of Thailand's most remote and undeveloped islands, Koh Bulon Lae sits between Trang and Satun provinces in the Andaman Sea. Home to a small Moken sea gypsy community, the island has no ATMs, no cars, and limited electricity. Its pristine beaches and surrounding coral reefs offer a glimpse of what Thai islands looked like before mass tourism.
Koh Bulon barely changes season: around 28°C most of the year.
There is a clear wet season from April – November, peaking in October with around 288 mm. The dry months run from February.
Wind is a factor: February averages 20 km/h, enough to notice on a terrace or a bike. Air quality is worth watching: March averages an AQI of 59, while October clears to 36.
Daylight is steady all year, around 12.0 hours a day.
For what you're after, the best months in Koh Bulon are December – April. Expect slow internet (5 Mbps) and a low cost of living (about €600 a month).
