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.

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.
