What is the weather condition on Koh Chang for most parts of the year?

Koh Chang has three main seasons, the cool season runs from November to the end of February. This is when the island is at its busiest, with guaranteed daily sunshine, stunning blue sky, and calm sea. If you don’t mind crowds, this is the ideal time to visit. During this time the average temperature is between 27 – 30°C, you may experience the odd refreshing thunderstorm.

The hot season follows the cool season and runs for 3 months, March to April. During these months the temperature is over 33C most days and along with the high humidity, it can get uncomfortable.  You’ll find yourself sweating when standing still. The months of April and May are also the usual holiday months for Thais, so the tourist areas of the island can still be busy. Especially during Songkran, Thai New Year, this is from 13 – 15 April.
