How to get from Bangkok to Koh Chang

Download the 12go Asia app

There are a few options to get to Koh Chang from Bangkok. 

By Flight 

I choose to fly into Trat airport and then get the transfer by bus to the pier and ferry ticket included. You can book a single or return. On the way back I will take the bus back to Bangkok but we warned it takes approximately 6 and half hours.

By Bus

You can go direct from Suvarnabhumi Airport from £17.It is best to leave early in the morning as the last ferry transfer is 6.30pm and you will need to find somewhere to stay in Trat.

You can also go by bus near Khaosan road.

Make sure to check the 12go asia app.

How long should you stay 

I recommend a minimum of 3 to 4 days and up to a week depending on what you would like to do.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Itinerary Gal
Hi I'm Emma from the UK and I have been fortunate enough to have been traveling since my 20s in the UK and abroad. I started the Destination bible because I wanted to turn my passion of travelling into a business so I became an Independent travel advisor. I also have a love for fitness and the outdoors. I have spent so much time planning my adventures that I wanted to take the stress and hassle out of planning the perfect escape for others. I offer 1:1 calls and custom itineraries for all tastes and budgets. I also accept requests for package holidays/cheap flight deals/ UK staycations/ Spa and theatre breaks/ cruises and Disneyland packages and I will source the best deals and tell you where to book them. Don't worry if you have a fur baby, I often take my ginger Pomeranian Todd on my adventure's too so I can recommend some great dog friendly places. I regularly check all the best package deals from the UK so reach out if you want some recommendations on where is cheap and trending right now, as we all love a great deal right? I hope my guides will inspire you to get out more and explore the world 🌎no matter what your budget or location. I have created guides on my personal experiences and on places that I know you will enjoy exploring. Hopefully as much as I have. I only recommend places to stay based on personal experience. Looking for some inspiration? Feel free to check out my socials or browse my travel shop💗
