Hi all,

I was wondering what Ko Chang is like in Mid to late September in terms of the amount of rain, rip tides, and jellyfish?

Would I be better off waiting until December or January to go?

Thank you for any advice

Depends on the weather. Last week the sea was calm as a lake, yesterday there were pretty big waves. People drown every rainy season due to riptides. If your sensible you wont have any problems.

Dec / Jan has better weather - and more guarantee of sunshine and no rain - they are also far busier. At the moment you can pretty much have a resort to yourself. In Sept you cant guarantee lots of sunshine - but the past couple of weeks have , on the whole been very nice here. The past two days have been the wettest for a while.

Some jellyfish on Klong Prao beach now - most dont sting. The ones that do just, at least in my case, just give an annoying burn for half an hour then it goes. They wont kill you.

I had to work in Holland for 7 months, so rain or riptides cant stop me, i will visit Koh Chang in 5 weeks, with my wife and daughter, nomatter what. I was thinking about visiting the most populair beach up north white sand beach i think. Cant wait.
