Trat - Koh Chang Bus Terminal
Buses are definitely the preferred mode of transportation by tourists to reach Koh Chang from Bangkok, but also from Chiang Mai or from the even closer Pattaya. Buses are cheaper of flights, also less than a sixth of the price, and considering the time needed to go to the airport in Bangkok and from Trat Airport to the piers for Koh Chang, in the district of Laem Ngop, the time difference is not significant. Several private companies, and even the governmental, offer different choices to get to Koh Chang, with direct lines to the piers Ao Thammachat and Centrepoint, or in alternative to the bus terminal in Trat, the provincial capital, about 20 kilometres away. VIP buses, with few comfortable seats, toilet and air conditioning, first-class buses or minibuses depart from three terminals in the capital, Ekkamai, Mo Chit and Suvarnabhumi Transportation Centre, but also from Khao San Road in Bangkok, Arcade Bus Station Chiang Mai and North Pattaya Bus Station. You can buy tickets directly at the departure terminal or at any travel agency, prices are not negotiable. The companies are different but the service is the same, with a comfortable journey non stop until the starting docks in Laem Ngop.The bus service from Khao San Road usually includes the cost of the ferry until Klong Son, the port of arrival in Koh Chang. The bus trip from the terminals in Bangkok to the piers is about 5-6 hours, four hours from Pattaya and seventeen from Chiang Mai, same travel times to reach the bus terminal in Trat. The provincial bus station is located just off Sukhumvit Road to the northeast of town, about thirty minutes journey by songthaew to travel 18 km, at a cost of 50 THB. The private company Burapha offers an excellent bus and minibus service from Suvarnabhumi Airport, and Pattaya, direct up to the beaches of Koh Chang. A bus with 40 comfortable seats run daily up to Klong Son, the arrival point in the island, then passengers is transferred by vans or songthaews to the various resorts on the island up to Lonely Beach, there is an extra for Bang Bao and the east coast.
