Bangkok to Koh Chang Destination Reviews

For first time tourists & solo female travellers, the itenary details are too vague/not transparent, such as number of refreshment stops, how the ferry crossing will work, from Ao Sapparot Pier to hotel, etc.

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.

We left 15min late. Then we stopped 2 times for a long time when I think everyone would have preferred to not stop and just get there sooner as we arrived 2hrs late (but there was also a lot of traffic on the way). Otherwise was comfortable and well organized

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....

Everything went well but it took far more longer than expected. We arrived at the pier at 8pm (instead of the estimated time of 3pm….!)

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

The trip was overall fine, but the air conditioning wasn’t effective and couldn’t handle the heat. After 6 hours on the bus, everyone was really fed up with the journey and much more exhausted than expected.

If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there. Similarly, in some vans seats in the back row may be a disappointment as they do not recline due to the trunk filled with travellers’ luggage.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
