Hi,
I am going to Thailand the first week of August, and I am looking for place with good conditions (good visibility). I have understood that the time of the year is really not good for Andaman coast, however I would preferably like to avoid the what I have heard is "overfull" icelands Ko Samui / KO Tao etc.
That leaves pretty much the Ko Chang archipelago. However I hear mixed reports about August. Some say it is still fine, but other people say one should forget it during (the northern) summer because of the weather (closed access to outer island etc).
If anyone has experience with diving Ko Chang archipelago in the period July-September it would be welcome!
Best regards,
Erik Adli, Norway
