How to get to Koh Chang ?
Koh Chang is an island so the last part of the journey is obviously by ferry or boat. They depart from Laem Ngop, around 20 km from Trat. And to go to Trat you can fly from Bangkok (2 flights per day) or take a bus from Ekkamai Bus Terminal in Bangkok. There is a bus almost every hour and 4 departures per day of "Trat Express" which is more comfortable but not really faster than other buses. You can also buy bus+ ferry join tickets at Ekkamai Bus Terminal in Bangkok or buy minivan + ferry join tickets from Bangkok (online booking here)Buses and minivans to Koh Chang
Please note: many buses can only be booked 30 days before departure, so they will not appear in our booking partner's results if you search earlier.
