About Triple T

Company Information

This van service specialise in the popular Bangkok – Trat route and are viewed by locals and visitors alike as one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get from Thailand’s capital to the tourist hotspot of Koh Chang. Based in Bangkok, this reliable operator also offers ferry tickets to Koh Chang from Trat.

Routes served by Triple T (TTT)

As mentioned above, Triple T focuses on servicing the busy Bangkok–Trat route. Although there is little in Trat itself, it is a useful gateway to reach the beautiful islands of Koh Chang, Koh Kood and Koh Mak with ease.

Bangkok–Trat

Helpfully, there are two departure points from Bangkok; Mo Chit, in the north of the city, and Ekkamai, the eastern bus terminal. A one-way ticket from either station in Bangkok to Trat costs approximately THB320, with departures throughout the day. As Bangkok is a huge city, having this choice is very useful as it could save you a trek across the city.

Services from Mo Chit depart hourly between 05.00-08.00 and 09.30-15.30, with the final service at 18.30. Vans from Ekkamai run hourly throughout the day from 06.00-19.00, with both trips taking around 5 hours in total.

The return trip from Trat to either Bangkok station costs the same amount (THB320) with vans every hour to both stations (08.00-18.00 to Mo Chit and 05.00-19.00 to Ekkamai).

Bangkok–Koh Chang

From Trat it is possible to travel by ferry to Koh Chang. You can make this journey yourself by catching a songthaew to the port and purchasing a ferry ticket there. However, it is much easier and also cheaper to take advantage of the excellent value Bangkok–Koh Chang package offered by Triple T.

This ticket costs just THB350 from Mo Chit and includes a van to Trat as well as the ferry across to Koh Chang. Vans depart Bangkok hourly from 05.00-08.00 and 09.30-12.30, with the full trip lasting around 6 ½ hours. Tickets from Ekkamai station in Bangkok are priced at THB440 for the same trip, with vans leaving every hour between 06.00-12.00.

Note A word of warning if you are planning on heading to Koh Chang without purchasing the Bangkok–Koh Chang package ticket, bear in mind that the last ferry is at 19.00 so leaving Bangkok any later than 12.00 risks missing this service and having to find some overnight accommodation.

It is also possible to buy a ticket direct to the pier where the Koh Chang ferry departs from. However, from Mo Chit this is the same price as the combination ticket so not really a worthwhile option. Priced at THB350, vans depart both Bangkok stations between 05.00-08.00 and 09.30-11.30 (Mo Chit) and 06.00-12.00 (Ekkamai).

Pros

As mentioned, the package ticket from Bangkok–Koh Chang offers excellent value for money and is a great option for travellers. This is one of the main reasons that Triple T is such a popular choice on this route.

The flexibility offered by departures from both Mo Chit and Ekkamai is another advantage of using Triple T. Travelling across Bangkok can be difficult and time-consuming, if you're located in the east of the city then it will be far easier to catch a van from Ekkamai, saving you both time and money.

Mo Chit is one of Thailand’s more confusing bus stations, so the information provided on the website is very helpful when trying to locate the ticket office or ask someone for help.

Finally, as there are so many services heading to and from Trat each day, it might be possible to be put on an earlier or later departure depending on availability if you miss your scheduled departure time. This is particularly useful in Bangkok where delays in traffic or on public transport are frequent.

Cons

It's worth noting that it isn't possible to choose actual seats in the vans, just to reserve a place, so it is worth getting there early to ensure that you get a good seat and are not stuck next to the luggage.

Also, as some of the vans tend to be a few years old, the air conditioning is not always of the best quality. Again, arrive early to grab a seat close to the a/c to ensure your trip is as comfortable as possible.

If you purchase a Bangkok–Koh Chang ticket you will most likely have to change at Trat and catch a songthaew (which will be arranged and paid for by Triple T). For those unused to travelling in Thailand this process may seem chaotic, but don't worry, there is a system and you will arrive in time for your ferry!

Keep in mind

Although, it is possible to buy a ticket from Bangkok to Trat and then make your own way to the islands, if you're heading to Koh Chang it is highly recommended that you buy the package ticket which will take you all the way there. There is little to do in Trat itself but if you decide to spend the day there remember that the last ferry departs at 19.00, and it’s around 30 minutes to the pier! This combination ticket costs the same as a ticket to the pier, where you would then have to pay for a ferry, so it does offer good value for money.

Travellers reviews

The majority of reviews focus on the very competitively priced tickets, especially the Bangkok – Koh Chang ticket, made even more attractive with the fairly quick journey times.

Many reviews highlight the fact that, unlike some other transport providers, Triple T often let you on a later service if you are delayed and there is space on the next van departing. With hourly departures throughout the day, there is never too long to wait for the next one!

The biggest complaint is the age of the vehicles, with the result that the air conditioning can sometimes be unreliable. Unfortunately, this is true of almost all transport companies across Thailand and there is little that can be done about this, except arriving early to ensure you sit as close to the a/c or a window as possible, or bringing your own small fan!

Fine bus ride and driver. The seats are bit small.... For me as European.

I booked a combi travel from Bangkok to Koh Mak over 12go Asia. Before I booked I wrote a mail to the support to ask if there is a transfer included from Trat Bus Terminal to the Pier. They garanteed me over mail that a transfer to the pier is included and sended me the link to book the jorney. So I trusted them and booked the package. On our way to Trat. 15 minutes before the Bus Terminal, the bus driver said that everybody who want‘s to go to koh Mak or Koh Chang has now to leave the Bus, so we got out on a small market in the nowhere. There was a private Taxi Service to the Pier for 100 Bhat each person. They told us that 12go asia are lyers, there is no transfer included and if we book the bus directely in Bangkok and the ferry on the ferry station we would have saved 140 Bhat each of us 😏 after calling the support from 12 go Asia they told us on the telephone, that in our voucher is no transfer included. Great! 😏 but we got to Koh Mak with a few extra costs and that‘s the most important thing.

Overall was ok. Left on time and was more like a large van, not a big bus. There's only room for bags in the narrow aisle on the ground so when 12Go mentions to get an extra seat if you have a big bag, they're not kidding. Seats don't recline but aren't rock hard. We stopped for one bathroom break on the way to Trat, about halfway. Air conditioning was working and we didn't crash so really what more can you ask for?

trip from Trat to Bangkok, so obviously the most expensive ticket, but unking lady put us at the last seats of the bus, which were the most uncomfortable. Asked to changed but no possible with stubborn lady. Not logic when other people step in the bus with less time to spend in the bus.

There was noone at the counter at the busstation when we had to check in at ekkamai. It gave us big difficulties getting on the bus and also to continue fra Trat (we payed a private driver). The rest of the trip worked well.

Look it's all super cool okay, you show up and secure your seat belt, tell them where you are going and youd reach your destination on time, no problem. Minimal buggery if you are going to connect ferry ride to one of the islands. My half baked Thai notwithstanding. Prefer buses to claustrophobic plane seats and airport queues anytime.

It was not clear that a Minibus does not pick you up at Thammachat Pier. First you must find the company office who will then arrange a songthaew to take you to a waiting area outside of town. Then you must wait for the minibus to come from Trat. Also the bus doesn't stop at a regular gas station rest stop. It stops at a small Thai-style rest stop a few hours into the trip, so I'd recommend using the restroom and getting drinks or snacks ahead of time.

The ticket said we would depart from the pier, which is why I bought it. Upon arriving they told us we wouldn't leave at the scheduled time and we needed to pay for a taxi to a different departure point. This wasn't mentioned in the initial information about the route. After waiting for an hour extra, the taxi journey took a long time and dropped us at a road side stall in the rain. We waited for an hour before a bus came. When it arrived there was not enough seats on it, so we were made to wait for the next bus. Despite having prebooked our seats 2 weeks in advance, people who bought tickets at the bus station that day were given priority over us. After waiting another 30 minutes, the only free seat was over the wheel arch. So my girlfriend has to sit with her knees in her face, as squashed up for the 6 hour bus ride. Another disappointing part of the trip was the driver continually asking me in Thai to do something with my bags. I quite clearly didn't understand and made it clear I didn't. But he decided to keep repeating the instructions. When I tried to do what I thought was being asked of me and it was wrong, he and a passenger started laughing at me. It was lucky another kind passenger came and explained to me what I needed to do.

The trip was fine. At 8am I think it's perfect - there are few people in the BTS, and at the station, and it's not so hot - after all, the station is open, although with a canopy. There is a free toilet at the station. Minibus was like on the photo. We bought the ticket electronically. On the day of departure for 40 minutes came to the 24 ticket office (it is indicated in the cover letter to the tickets) and we were given paper tickets. Departure from terminal 17 on time. On the bus, the air conditioning was working properly. At departure from Ekkamai the bus was full, it was good that we took a ticket in advance. Halfway there were free seats, we could change seats. There is no luggage compartment - large things were stacked at the front door. We were with backpacks, so it was not critical for us. We were dropped off on the road to Trat and transferred to a Songteo (tuk-tuk). Minutes 15-20 wait for the tuktuk to fill up and take you to the pier. The road for about 20-30 minutes. Ferry ticket is included in the price of the trip. For reference sangteo on kochang from the pier to the village of Kai Bai 80 baht per person.

The driver was stopping multiple times to collect certain packages. This took a big amount of time. When we almost got to the pier, he also had to take detours to drop the packages which again took a lot of time.

I do not know, the trip is so-so... But you can stand it. I had no experience of similar trips to Thailand, so there is nothing to compare it with. But in order. The route of the bus. Ekkomai-Ko Chang station. At 10:25 came to the window 24, there we exchanged pre-printed voucher for a ticket, the cashier gave us a ticket to the minibus and a ticket for the ferry. When we approached the bus stop (no. 17), there was the mini bus, a tin can, of course. We are the only tourists to Ko Chang, the rest were Thais who went somewhere in their Thai business. In connection with this on the way constantly stopped, dropped off the Thais and picked up new here and there. It was annoying because it was stuffy, uncomfortable, long, etc. Once stopped at a gas station, where there is a toilet and cafes. We stopped somewhere else +2 times, the driver went out for some urgent business. Our luggage was placed on the back seat with a rope. Such a safety feature... But since we didn't have anybody else with big bags, it wasn't a problem. It was stuffy in the car on the one hand, and on the other hand the old air conditioner was blowing at one point and we had to cover our necks. We were driving for 4 hours. Then we were put out, in 5 minutes we were transferred to another bus, bigger. It was more comfortable. We drove for another hour. Then I was dropped off at another stop and they made me exchange my ticket at the window. We exchanged the ticket they gave us back in Ekkamai for another one. Then in 3 minutes we got in a nice car with an open back door and a low ceiling, where we were offered an unforgettable 40 minutes of jolting at high speed. It was blowing very hard, I wore a hooded sweatshirt. The car finally brought us to the pier, at that point we had been on the road for 6 hours. At the pier, we saw that the ferry was already in place, gave us tickets and let's go. We set sail in about 15 minutes, after another 20 minutes we were already on the Ko Chang. The total travel time was about 6:30. At the exit of the ferry we were waiting for the driver, who offered to bring us to the hotel by the same open car.1000 per car at least. We pooled with other people, all going who - where, in the end it came out 100-150bat each person, depending on the distance. Well got to kind of okay.

We were there 2 hours early. The employee was so flexible that we sat within 5 minutes in an earlier van that was not full. The recommended 3rd ticket for "big luggage" would not have been necessary in our case. But you never know. The request of a fellow passenger for a toilet stop - which was not at all inconvenient for me - was quickly responded to. The driver drove safely and professionally. All in all, the flexibility of this company surprised me very positively.

No major problems, but part of the journey from an area near Trat to the port leading to Koh Chang is made in a "safety cab" pickup, and this takes about 20 minutes. This should be indicated.

We were obliged to pay 270 bath more because we had large suitcases but this was specified when we ordered the tickets! Instead of leaving at 10am, we left at 11am, again I think because of our suitcases, but we weren't in a hurry, so I was very happy with the 12gb transaction.

Can recommend the 5 o'clock bus. On time departure, change of transport just before Trat to get to the pier. Car ferry was ok. In the end we were there an hour early. In Koh Chang there are shared cabs waiting to take you to the hotel for 50-150 baht (depending on where you want to go).
