Safety on Koh Chang:
Koh Chang got a new Government in late 2008 and the safety on the island has improved a lot doing the last 6-8 month with many new features. We do now have lifeguards along the beaches and together with the hotels they make sure to watch out for the clients and put up red flags with the ocean is dangerous.

One danger in the ocean is the current, which also is one of the biggest dangers all over Thailand. This is specially doing the summer period, when the ocean is wild. The Government has on Koh Chang put up signs as below all over the island in English, German and Thai and we can see already this year that the signs has safe life’s.

Since beginning of September 2009 Ko Chang has had a new golf driving range in the north end of the island in the small village of Klong Son.

Koh Chang General:
The weather was extremely good in August with a lot of sun and calm ocean, which made it perfect for diving and snorkeling. In the beginning of September more rain has arrived and we normally do get a lot of rain in September.

Since mid of September the weather has changed to sun and calm ocean. This could mean an early end of the monsoon season this year.
