chang - went there in july, waves were coming in in 5 rows and were very powerful, but were going all over the place. according to the locals very unusual sea behaviour. i didnt see any surfboard rentals though...

surfing thailand - i have surfed in thailand for the last ten years and there is some good days but its mostly wind chop and if you are a serious surfer you would be better off going somewhere else. the best surf is down in the muslim areas take your chances, most of them are very nice people
