To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Koh Chang Transport offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Koh Chang Transport?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Smooth pickup, but a very uncomfortable drive
The pickup went smoothly and without any problems. The bus was new, clean, and comfortable for 9 passengers. The driver was also on time, and we actually arrived in Bangkok about an hour earlier than expected.
Unfortunately, the drive itself was quite challenging. The driver’s driving was extremely rough, with a very bumpy ride and constant, unpredictable acceleration and braking. At times we were driving quite fast, which made the journey uncomfortable, especially for anyone prone to motion sickness.
One of the children sitting in the last row became sick and threw up, but we still did not stop. In total, we only stopped once, for about 20 minutes, after approximately four hours of driving.
Overall, the service was punctual and the vehicle was good, but the driving style made what could have been a comfortable journey quite unpleasant. If you are prone to motion sickness, I would definitely recommend being prepared for a rough ride.

Friendly and good driver. Stopps for toilet and food (maybe too much). The vehicle was completly filled up. If we would have been only adults, it would have been too crowded, because the 4 backseats are too narrow. With 2 kids for the family sitting in the back, it was okay.

Very smooth journey; everything on time.
We left "The Nine Centre" on time at 9am, took a 30 mins break at approx 11:30am, and a 15 mins break at approx. 13:30pm.
We caught the 14:45pm ferry, and arrived at our White Sand Beach hotel approx 15:30pm.
The van was very comfortable, with plenty of space for luggage.
The driving was, at times, probably a little faster than I would have liked, but I suppose that's not unusual here... We arrived safely.
The driver was very friendly and helpful.
I would happily recommend.

Bus ride was very uncomfortable and honestly felt unsafe. The driver was driving extremely recklessly, constantly switching lanes aggressively and making sudden movements. His behavior also seemed very strange — at the beginning of the trip he was nervous and irritated, but later he became unusually cheerful and energetic, which made me feel uneasy and gave me the impression that he might have been under the influence of something.
Another major issue was the air conditioning. It was set unbelievably cold the entire trip. We asked the driver several times to lower it or turn it off, and although he would sometimes do it for a short while, he kept turning it back on again. Everyone on the bus was freezing by the end of the journey.
Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience and I did not feel safe during the ride.

Everything was fine, no issues along the way. The only thing I don't understand is why, for a flight at 1:20 PM, we were brought to the airport at 10:30 AM. Trat Airport has no air conditioning, so the wait was exhausting. It would be more reasonable to take the 10:45 AM flight — that would be more than enough time.

We booked this company both ways from central Bangkok to Koh Chang and back. Outbound was fine, got plate number 20min before pickup by WhatsApp. Minivan, decently comfortable with ac, but no charging ports. Driver spoke decent English and communicated stops and the ferry. On the return, a similar van, and WhatsApp confirmation the day before. But very slow driver who spoke no English, so even with a 8.20am scheduled start from the island we only made the 11am ferry and were in Bangkok only after 6pm. I'd say if you've bus traveled in Southeast Asia before, you know the drill. Chaotic, and little signposting what will happen, but eventually you get where you're going.

Oh Well. Pick-up worked, started on time and got to my Hotel in the end, so the basic was fullfilled. But 1. It took way longer than estimated, in no universe this could have worked in 6 hours
2. Not great communication, we didn't know when the Stops would be (and they we're planned poorly)
3. To the wirst:the Driver. He was speeding and drove Like hell, Breaks? Only for the weak... Gosh i didn't felt safe and sleeping was Not possible because driving so fast with this roads, No fun.
4. And the Driver was not nice to say it polite, He yelled at us at out second Break because in His opinion we took too long , 10 minutes with toilet and food is way Not enough when u need to wait vor the Toilet, and it was only 8minutes when He started yelling. (I needee to Out my food away , didn't eat shit vor 8 hours because of that) Oh and later at the ferry, He was complaining to Others about us, making us responsible for having to wait for the next ferry??? Wtf, and He made gestures Like he would like to kick us.
Never would i Go with this again....

Overall, everything went well. However, be careful: the timing is quite tight if your flight is at 9:45 from Trat Airport. The first ferry departs at 6:30, and the second only at 7:45. The 7:45 one absolutely must not be delayed. You will also need to rely on people boarding the van quickly and on time.

Our transfer from Koh Chang to Bangkok was great. A van picked us up from our accomodation, with a 10 min window provided. The drive was smooth and comfortable. Our driver purchased tickets for the ferry and lead us to the boat. The boat ride was roughly 30 mins. Once onshore, we walked 500m to the carpark where drivers were waiting for us. Have your sticker visible so they can identify you and direct you to the right van. The van ride from trat to Bangkok was smooth. The driver was great, stopped 3 times, and weaved in and out of traffic to get us to Bangkok speedily. We arrived 15 mins after the estimated time. We highly recommend Koh Chang Transport!! The team were professional, spoke good English and provided a smooth and seamless trip.

Booked the Bangkok to Koh Chang hotel transfer. I didn’t include any extras and got a WhatsApp 20 mins or so before departure and greeted at pickup point. Admin was very good and kept up to date with the schedule. The driver was very friendly, drove fast but not dangerously. Got to ferry and hotel destination within estimated time. Had 2 stops on the way, 20+ and 10+ minutes.
FYI: I would however check that your baggage remains on the bus with you if there are multiple drop-offs. (Be responsible for the whereabouts of your own luggage. Mistakes will happen!). Also make the driver very aware of your hotel drop off.
All in all a very good experience and an excellent service. I highly recommend based on my experience.

The pickup point was easy to find. In the bus there was a very annoying beeping sound, every vouple minutes it would beep a bunch of times. Then when we arrived at the pier we had to get of the bus because we were late and it could not get onto the ferry. We had to wait outside for the ferry for a while, without air conditioning. Finally, we reached the destination about two hours late

At first I want to say that the organization itself was very well. This includes the Pickup and the Transport by the Ferry. The driver was constantly anoyed by talking with others in bus. We did a few rest stops which werent all necessary. The AC didnt work well. Driver didnt help to put the luggage in the car. At the end the was driver was in hurry and drove too fast with an lack of Professional driver skills.
