- At BKK Suvarnbhumi Airport, MCT (Minumum Connecting Time) is 75 minutes.
- At Trat Airport, you should be there 60 minutes before departure but this is actually quite flexible.
Getting Between Trat Airport and Koh Chang
From Trat Airport, there are either private transfers or shared minibuses to and from Koh Chang.
The private transfer is priced at 2,500bt for a minibus for 4 adults, with an additional person at 100bt. The SUV car is 2,000bt for 2 adults or 2 adults and 2 young child. This is a door to door service including the fast ferry tickets. For beaches at the far end of the west coast (Lonely Beach to Klong Goi/Bang Bao), please add 200bt.
When going from the island to Trat Airport, resort collections are set specifically for your flight times, so there are never any problems.
During busy holiday times such as New Year and Songkran, when ferry queues can be extremely long, a two vehicle system may be used. With this, one vehicle collects you from your resort to go to the pier. You walk on the ferry and a second vehicle waits for you on the mainland for the final transfer to the Airport.
The share minibus is 800bt per person with ferry ticket, 1,500bt round trip. It too delivers you to your resort direct.
