Koh Samui to Koh Chang by Bus
The journey from Koh Samui to Koh Chang takes around twenty hours if you take the bus. The trip includes a pick-up from your hotel to the Nathon Bus Station from where you will head to the ferry port and take the ninety-minute ride to Donsak. From Donsak, you will take the bus to Bangkok, which will take ten hours, and then head to Koh Chang through connecting services, a seven-hour ride.
The buses will be air-conditioned and will have both Economic and VIP seats available. The chief difference between the two classes is reclining space, legroom, and the food and snacks that are served to the VIP guests. The buses stops frequently at the Thai service stations so the guests can relax, use the toilets, freshen up, eat, and get snacks for the journey.
This trip requires two ferry rides. Both rides will be aboard car ferries, which are spacious, large, sturdy, can withstand tough weather, and include bathroom facilities, sundeck, air-conditioned cabin, plenty of seating, as well as a ship for food and snacks. For people suffering from seasickness, we recommend taking the seasickness pill twenty minutes before the departure.
Koh Samui to Koh Chang by Ferry
To travel to Koh Chang by ferry, you start your journey by taking the ferry from Koh Samui to Chumphon—from Chumphon, which is halfway between Bangkok and Koh Samui, you will take the bus and travel overnight to the capital. Once you reach Bangkok, you will take the ferry again and begin your journey to Koh Chang; the ferry journey is slower when compared to bus, but it is specifically designed for foreigners and tourists. The ferries have air-conditioned cabins, plenty of seats, toilets, shops for food and snacks, etc. English movies are played on board for your entertainment and to help you pass the time. This journey takes around twenty-three hours. You can socialize easily with others onboard, head out to the sundeck for a smoke, and enjoy the beautiful nature all around.
Instead of arriving at the bus station, like you would on a bus ride, you will arrive at a well-known tourist favorite area in Bangkok; when you arrive, you will get the transfer to Ekamai Station from where you can get the bus to Koh Chang.

Koh Samui to Koh Chang by Plane
Although Koh Samui has no direct flights to Koh Chang, you can easily find connecting flights via Bangkok to Trat—it is on the mainland, close to Koh Chang. The travel to for both destinations (with Bangkok Airways) is three and a half hours to five hours, and the tickets cost between 5900 Thai Bahts to 8500 Thai Bahts. This is the easiest and simplest way to get to Koh Chang; a mini bus service that charges 300 Thai Baht and includes a ferry ticket can take you to Koh Chang from the airport.
Please remember that you have to reach the airport forty-five minutes before your flight time. Although the transfer from hotel to airport is not included, you can arrange it with us separately.
The flights to Trat are only available from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport; these flights take only one hour and cost between 2500 Thai Bahts to 3800 Thai Bahts. You can also get to Bangkok via ferry, bus, or train, or flights from Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Tammarat airport.
If you fly from Surat Thani or Nakhon Si Tammarat, you will add another five or six hours to your trip, as it involves taking a ferry from Koh Samui and a then bus to the said airport. Hotel transfer is included in Koh Samui and the rate is around 1300 to 2500 Thai Bahts, which saves significantly on the Bangkok Airways service.
