Weather report

We were recently hit by the periphery of a high pressure system that lay over the Western side of the gulf, so conditions were not so good a few days ago. We even had small amounts of rain. Since, the weather has calmed again, and clear skies again prevail. High winds and cool temperatures can still be expected overnight. The wind usually calms down during the day, but sometimes gusts of wind come down from the mountains. All snorkelling boats are now running and sea conditions are variable in wave height and visibility, though clearing day by day. Sea visibility is around 20 meters in Koh Rang; around 15 meters off Koh Yuak. Afternoon temperatures are around 35 degrees. Night time, the temperature can fall to around 15 degrees.

Coco Dee Bo Tours have been in operation on Koh Chang since 2005. We have 2 shops, where we offer all of the available tours around Koh Chang, as well as providing high speed internet access and other computer services.

Our shop on the beach at Chai Chet

We offer free advice and information about all of the activities available on Koh Chang. You can book all of the tours with us, and we can also arrange your transport on and off the island, and to the neighbouring islands of the Koh Chang archipeligo. We can make your hotel bookings around Koh Chang, on the neighbouring islands, and throughout Thailand, including Bangkok. We aim to give our customers impartial advice and accurate information prior to selling any tour or service. For example, owing to the arduous conditions on the Cambodian roads, we would advise against any family with very small children from going to Angkor Wat at Siem Reap in Cambodia.

Private speedboats and wooden Thai style boats can be chartered through us for half-day, full-day, or longer excursions. We deal with 3 of the top diving schools in operation on Koh Chang, so make Coco Dee Bo your one-stop place for making your dive reservations.
