How to Get from Bangkok to Koh Chang

Taking a plane from Bangkok to Trat and then continuing with the ferry is the fastest way.

Bangkok Airways is the only airline operating along this route, with two flights daily. These flights depart from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and arrive at Trat Airport (TDX) after 1 hour.

One-way airfare starts from $1. Book early for the best fares.

Once you arrive at the airport, you will need to take a transfer to the pier to catch the ferry to Koh Chang.

We recommend travelling by bus and ferry from Bangkok to Koh Chang. The bus will go from Bangkok To Trat and from there you have to transfer to a 45-minute ferry from Trat to Koh Chang.

You can book combined bus + ferry tickets online for 900 THB from Bangkok city centre or 800 THB when departing from Bangkok Airport (BKK).

When you book your tickets separately, you might be able to save some money, but it also comes with more hassle. With a combined ticket, you don’t need to worry about the transfer and also don’t need to buy separate tickets.

Below we will start with the combined options from Bangkok to Koh Chang. After the table, you will find the info on how to make the journey with two separate bookings.

Departure in Bangkok

Khao San Boonsiri is conveniently located in Bangkok city centre. Suvarnabhumi Burapha Bus is more convenient if you come from the airport. However, as there is only one departure in the early morning, this usually doesn’t match any flight schedule.

Therefore we would recommend travelling with Boonsiri. Not only do they leave from Bangkok city centre, but they also drop you off at your hotel in Koh Chang.
