The weather in and around Trat
and Koh Chang is very comfortable with warm temperature most of the time. The
region is influenced by the northeastern and southwestern winds which sometimes
limit sea transports to a group of islands. From May to October the southwest
monsoon blows. During this period the west coast can be wet and stormy. Thus,
occasionally unsafe for ferries and smaller boats. However, visitors can still
visit the islands via the normally more popular routes, most of which are to the
northeast of Koh Chang, anyway.
The province of Trat, host of the
Koh Chang archipelago, is located within the Gulf of Thailand which has a
tropical climate. The annual average temperature is 27.3 C with an average high
of 31.3 C and an average low of 23.2 C. Mid-November to February is the cool,
dry season when the temperature is at its lowest, especially in January when it
averages at 21 C. March to May is the hot and humid season.
The best season to holiday in Koh
Chang is from November to May mainly because of much more sunshine. Other
periods of the year do attract visitors to the Koh Chang Marine National Park as
well,even though they are aware of possible rains and storms from time to time.
