Bangkok to Koh Chang door-to-door transfer service
Using our joining minibus service you'll be picked up at your Bangkok Hotel and taken direct to your Resort on Koh Chang. No extras like Bangkok Taxi to the airport (300 baht) and Trat Airport Minibus (400 baht+). The complete price, door to door, is now just 850 baht per person, and this can often be faster than the door-to-door price when flying Bangkok to Trat. There's 1 departure a day, at around 8:30am, and the total transfer time is around 6 to 7 hours, inclusive of ferry waiting and sailing time. Most other buses booked from Bangkok WILL NOT take you onto the island. Ours will. There is a surcharge to the quoted price if your resort on Koh Chang is "out of the way", eg East coast, or south of Kai Bae. A very few Koh Chang resorts are not accessible by minibus so very rarely there may be a short final leg by free taxi, or foot!. You can read all of our other daily recommendations here.

Private Transfers to Koh Chang
If you want the flexibility of your own departure time and to be in control of stopping times during your journey, then a private minibus or saloon car transfer may be what you're looking for. Prices between Bangkok and Koh Chang start at just 3,800 Baht, and this includes the ferry ticket(s) and is a door-to-door service. Koh Chang/Pattaya price starts at 3,400 Baht. The bigger your group, the more sense it makes - for example a group of 5 Bangkok to Koh Chang will usually pay less than 5 people in the joining door-to-door minibus service (4,500 Baht). What's more, you can usually book these transfers without the need for any pre-payment. You can read all of our other daily recommendations here.
