Rayong to Koh Chang Destination Reviews

Bad communication - Not really any information given about the exact pickup point, even though when I booked it was "Ban Phe Pier" to Koh Chang... Arrived in good time, around 10am for the 10:35 bus... no sign of the buses there, so I asked around a bit, but nobody seemed to know anything. Messaged them on Whatsapp and they told me "10 minutes Ban Phe Pier" - so I just waited there.. At 10:40 and still no sign of the bus, a Tuktuk driver tells me it is from the other pier and kindly drives me there. The bus was waiting to leave of course, but why not tell me to come to the other pier? If you're reading this - Don't stay at Ban Phe Pier - walk a few minutes south to the other one (Nuanthip), and on the opposite side of the main road is where the buses leave from PN Group 2017 on Google Maps

Comfy bus but it Took longer than planned. The bus was early at the pier, started loading new passengers but didn’t let any on board passengers off for a break until we were ready to leave, half an hour later.. We left on time from the pier but soon after we stopped again for half an hour without any communication (a family got off and we had to wait for one couple that arrived in a tuk tuk) We had a toilet/food break in an expensive service area. when we arrived at the next pier there was some organisational hiccups, we were then rushed off the bus but left to wait without instructions then quickly rushed again on the ferry that was about to leave. Once in Koh Chang they crammed 10 people and bags on one pick up van. All together from Rayong pier to Koh Chang hotel it took us 6 hours

Very cheap and easy - I felt well informed with the pdf I got about the pickup place - with coordinates and picture. Also well coordinated part from Bus - Ferry - taxi to hotel I went from Rayong to koh chang . I paid the 100 bath more to get the transfer after the ferry directly to the hotel - def. Worth it. Would do again

The original confirmation advised that the minivan we arrived in would be loaded into the ferry and we would be transferred over to Koh Samet and dropped off at our various hotels. Instead, we had to walk to the ferry with our luggage, carry it upstairs to the seating area, drag it down again when we arrived and the. We had to find the corresponding van to take us to our accommodation. There were already 8 people in the "taxi" and there was no space for me or our luggage. I initially was told to sit in the floor looking out backwards on the road bit eventually the driver told me to sit inside the can with him. He was pleasant but the reason I booked this seamless transfer was that I would not have to drag my luggage around myself as I have some mobility issues and I was travelling on my own.
