Best time to visit is out of the holiday / festival times. Still a great weekend away from it all, imo.
Mozzies are bigger than on the mainland, and the bites take a while to heal up (at least on me), but never heard of anyone getting Malaria or Dengue from Samet..
Thanks for the photos, sunsetter.
