When purchasing the service, it was written that there would be a minivan for 10 people. But we were transferred to a large bus. At the port, we had to go from the bus to the ship, and no one explained anything about what to do after getting off the ship. This is impossible!!!

It went OK the travel from Pattaya to Koh Chang, but they should have a little more organized. You don't get any info during the travel so the costumers can get a little confused (bus driver doesn't speak much English) . Like we needed to change bus after 1 hour drive, to another bus full of people that comes from Bangkok. When we arrived to the pier it was no info, so after some some time a woman was calling us from the office for show the booking again and get some lunch, that's all, after some time a guy went out giving the passes for the ferry(don't understand why they don't give us that before when they checked our booking) because some people was waiting in others areas or bathrooms so when they went for law in the ferry they didn't have the tickets for go inside, so they needed to wait until the guy come with more tickets.

We were the first to pick up, so we had to sit almost 2 hours in the bus before the journey started. That was a bit annoying, but the rest worked perfectly.

Everything went smooth until we got to Koh Chang, where the driver took us to the other side of the island even though we showed him on the map where our home stay was. We knew most of the tourist go to the west side and that's why we pointed out that we were on the east side. The driver simply ignored our instructions and ended up stranding us on the opposite side of the island. They offered no solution, and expected us to pay extra for them to take us to our accomodation. Fortunately the owner from the place we were staying at was kind enough to go pick us up.
