Many people arrive on Koh Chang without having booked accommodation. They then embark upon a hit or miss search for somewhere suitable to stay. To help those who arrive with no accommodation booked, if you call us when you're close to Koh Chang, and let us know what kind of accommodation you're looking for, then we will try to find somewhere for you whilst you approach Koh Chang. There is no obligation to accept any room without first seeing it, and there is no booking fee, indeed what you pay will be no lower than the walk-in price, and might even be lower! Our telephone numbers are 08 6328 4684, and 08 7711 3390. Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Weather report

We can finally say that the rainy season is coming to a close. Some showers can still be expected, but at this time of year, Koh Chang has generally dryer weather than islands on the other (western) side of the Gulf Of Thailand. Expect some high winds overnight, though much calmer in the day time. Most snorkelling boats are now running and sea conditions are variable in wave height and visibility. Afternoon temperatures are around 34 degrees.

Work is in progress on constructing 10 new bungalows on the beach next to our shop.

If you're interested in booking one of these for March onwards, then please let us know.

Weather report.

The previous 14 days started with hot sunshine with little cloud. Strong winds have persisted throughout the night and into the morning. For a couple of days, some snorkeling boats were staying ashore because of the winds and choppy seas - the wave height was reported to be around 3 meters in places. In the past few days the winds and wave heights have lessened, though the evenings and nights have remained cool down to around around 14 degrees. The sea is cool and quite clear around the Koh Chang beaches, but very clear in the snorkeling areas in the islands to the south of Koh Chang. Afternoon temperature is aound 29 degrees.  

A map of Thailand appeared in the sky the other day:
