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 2,300bt for a minibus for 4 adults, with an additional person at 100bt. The SUV car is 1,900bt for 2 adults or 2 adults and 2 young child. This is a door to door service including the fast ferry tickets. We offer the return with a small discount.
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 650bt per person with fast ferry ticket, 1,200bt round trip. It too delivers you to your resort direct.
