Weather Report

It feels as if it's been a wet month, but looking back at the details, it seems as if we did have good number of sunny days, though lots of heavy rain when it did rain. The past week has been pretty wet, but today and yesterday saw some decent sunshine. Not the best time of year for snorkeling and diving, but still worthwhile when the weather's calm, and some guests have reported decent underwater visibility of around 15 meters. Some days have seen some strong breakers close to shore, and rip-tides can be dangerous at this time of year, so please take care if the sea is rough close to shore. When calm, then water close to shore is sometimes uncomfortably hot. For a more detailed weather history please look at our daily weather reports which we have been writing since October 2009.

If you're thinking of coming to Koh Chang in the next few days, then look for yourself through our webcam for the weather as it is right now, and view the weather images page for an idea about weather on Koh Chang in the recent past. Our weather report and forecast page now contains our own daily weather updates, 4 hourly weather recordings from the Trat station of the Thai Meteorological Department, as well as the current 10 day forecast from MSN.

The season

European school holiday time, and July and August does produce a mini-peak in what is generally the low season on Koh Chang (though we should call that the green season). Good waterfalls of course at this time of year, and everywhere does look so much greener now. All activities and tours (even snorkeling and diving) are available now - please come to see us when you're on the island and we'll show you what's available and what's a worthwhile outing. Here you can read all of our previous weather summaries and news items.

Weather Report

A month has passed since our previous weather update, as we have been away from Koh Chang for much of July. The early part of the month saw some mixed weather, with seasonal amounts of rain, but on the whole it was not too bad. The second 2 weeks saw one good spell of a few days, but either side of that there was loads of rain, but this fell mostly at night time. An improvement today, hence the visit down to the beach to take the snapshot. Torrential rain seemed to be falling for all of last night, so there was a fair bit of damage and drifted sand down at the beach. Like today, when the sun comes out, the temperature is reaching around 33C, but during the rain it struggles to reach 25C. Beware, there have been very strong rip-tides recently, and sadly a couple of drownings occurred last week. An improvement yesterday and today; the sea was calm enough for some decent snorkeling trips, with wave heights of about one meter (in the open sea). For a more detailed weather history please look at our daily weather reports which we have been writing since October 2009.

The season

European school holiday time, and July and August does produce a mini-peak in what is generally the low season on Koh Chang (though we should call that the green season). Last weekend was an important Buddhist festival, and the island was very busy. Good waterfalls of course at this time of year, and everywhere does look so much greener now. All activities and tours (even snorkeling and diving) are available now - please come to see us when you're on the island and we'll show you what's available and what's a worthwhile outing. Here you can read all of our previous weather summaries and news items.

Weather Report

Weather summary for the past 2 weeks: Lots of rain overnight, sometimes we get torrential downpours with violent thunder and lightning. On some days the rain persists through the day, but mostly it becomes dry during the afternoon. Some decent sunshine on most days too, though usually pretty humid also, and with the temperature reaching around 34C, it sometimes feels uncomfortable. Wave height has been up to about a meter and a half close to shore on a couple of days, but otherwise quite low on most days. So far no sign of rip tides which can be dangerous at this time of year off the west coast beaches. For a more detailed weather history please look at our daily weather reports which we have been writing since October 2009.

The season

Koh Chang is now probably at it's quietest, so you could argue it's a great time to visit. If you turn up at any hotel, you will find rooms available, and you should be able to negotiate a price better than the listed price if you want to stay for a week or longer. We currently have good deals at the Klong Prao Resort, and from there you'll pretty well have 3KM of great beach much to yourself. We call this time of year the "green season", and the recent rain has filled the waterfalls which now have good flows. All activities and tours (even snorkeling and diving) are still available - please come to see us when you're on the island and we'll show you what's available and worthwhile.

Koh Chang remains very quiet, and you can have beaches, taxis, and restaurants all to yourself. We call this time of year the "green season", and the recent rain has filled the waterfalls which now have good flows. All activities and tours (even snorkeling and diving) are still available - please come to see us when you're on the island and we'll show you what's available and worthwhile.
