Pattaya to Koh Chang Destination Reviews

DR
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.

This was the best Pattaya to Koh Chang transfer service I’ve ever taken. This team is high organized and they communicate well. The previous company I went with had us all wandering around confused about where to go. This tour group really has their act together and you will quickly feel confident that you’re in good hands!

We booked a bus for 10 passengers and started out in a bus without air conditioning. After 1.5 hours, we had to switch from the shuttle to another bus. Even though there were over 20 passengers on the shuttle, at least we had air conditioning. If we had known this beforehand, we would have booked the bus, which would have been cheaper. What a shame.

Website stated it would be roughly 7-8 hour journey… it ended up taking 11 hours after the bus broke down and many stops along the way which was nice but too frequent. Bus was crammed but AC was nice to have.

Otherwise good but it took far too long, 7 h 45 min from door to door. I was the first one to be picked up and it took almost 1,5 hours until everyone was onboard.
