Spent 10 days there in June. Rained night and early morning sometimes. Days were hot and sunny.
Useful to look at 7 day forecasts before going though. I wouldnt let one unlucky experience put you off.

OK maybe not every day but the rain that does fall, nearly everyday, is equal to a weeks rain elsewhere :)
I've been there half a dozen times and never got passed white sands beach....whats lonely beach like? is it worth a visit
Yep, stayed there a couple of times. Also Kai Bae beach area. Never had a bad experience there tbh, although we only stay for a few days (3-6) at a time.
Just avoid rainy season and Thai National holidays, (& sometimes weekends) as queues for the ferry can get ridiculous at these times.
Be on Koh Chang Wednesday for 4-5 days work.
In Ratchaburi a meal 30 baht & in KC 80 b.
Lets see how this time goes.:chitown:
Your paying for the Western ambiance.
That for my Thai workers from a small Ma & Pa shop:)
Tons of kway teow and kau gang shops at all the main places. Mostly on the main round the island road. 10 baht or so more a plate to cover transportation to the island. We often take a simple Thai lunch after the hotel breakfast. Then go out for a nice dinner. Dont go to Bang Bao where your crew will want to go. A tourist trap that mostly takes the Thai customers money. Great seafood but very overpriced. Its also a bitch of a road back late at night..
I did find a pub which served a good English breakfast.
