hello to all you people who live on koh chang ,could you please post some ohotos of the island if pos please be much appreciated cheers ..chinkles

There are quite a few good web sites with photos, but not sure if I can list the url's?

One is run by Ian on Koh Chang who has a huge site with incredible detailed information on the island, and loads of quick loading photos. Try a google.

OK, seems like one can quote the links, so here goes:

This is Ian's site with masses of good photos that are down to earth and show life as it really is:

And another good site for photos is this one that also has 360 degree shots:

http://www.kochangvr.com/index.htm

Both sites also show the surrounding islands, which are worth a look.

Be prepared for a proper wet season.

Be prepared for a proper wet season.

Cannot possibly be worse than Samui!!

mmmmm - I think you'd better look at the rainfall figures and wind speeds for KC ..... doesn't sound as if you're prepared

A pretty mserable place during the wet season I must say, I've spent the last 7 seasons on Koh Chang and when it's wet is boring, the sea is choppy, the roads are dangerous and flooded, the only real thing to do is get yourself to a bar full of booze and nice 'company' and dig in for the evening, sayng that, during the high season it's a fine place to stay, lots of activities now and lots of friendly ladies

Beware of White Sands during the rainy season, roads are rivers...

Koh Chang June, July Aug: average rain fall 1000mm/month 27 rainy days per month

Koh Samui June, July Aug: average rain fall 120mm/month 14 rainy days per month

Worst month in Koh Samui is November with 490mm/month and 14 rainy days.

Serious stats ZZZ, I've only spent a little bit of time down in the south during the wet season and it was very wet but now I see the comparisons!

Here's a good weather map.....

KC - max 1071 mm in August

Samui - 490 in November......

if you move aboiut enough you could be sodden for most of the year!
