hi suey!
we flew to penang nov 21st,just gone.when we arrived it was hot, but very overcast.on our 2nd day,it was overcast again,and we had a downfall,in the afternoon.
on the 3rd day,we flew over to bali,for 3 nights,to meet my sister & her family,who were there for a fortnight,on holiday.it was absolutely red hot,they were, on their last 3 days,of their holiday,when we arrived & they said,it had been red hot,all the time,apart from a couple of days.
when we were flying over,the sky just changed from overcast,to a lovely blue.
when we got back to penang,it was still overcast,but hot.
our last week however,was great,the sun was blazing!
i would say,bali would be your best bet for weather.
we enjoyed our brief time there.we enjoyed the prices even better,it was soooo cheap.

just got in in front of me! I agree re Bali- especially Sept/Oct- see the average temps, rainfall
However, Cha am may be ok- I will leave Sunbear( or anyone else!) to confirm this.( There are conflicting weather stats for Cha am and I can never remember which one is correct!)
I am very biased towards Bali so I would pick it first. However, each to their own!

I'm in agreement I would go for Bali.Cha'am might not be too bad in September but I think Bali might be a more interesting destination. If you want to go to Thailand you might want to consider Hua Hin which is just a bit further south from Cha'am

Looks like we may try Bali then. Thanks for the useful feedback.
