Everything went smoothly until we arrived to Koh Chang and the taxi driver refused to take us until more ferries came and his taxi filled or we paid him more, even though we had already paid for transport to the accommodation. Luckily, we called BoonSiri and they called the driver and made him take us.

The Driver was excellent - thoughtful for his passengers, explained times clearly. He concentrated on the driving, with very little time spent on his phone while driving I rated "Great" overall because the van, while good, did struggle over holes in the road

The vehicle was on time and AC was always on too. We took several breaks which was good too. The driver helps you where will you go after you reach the island. I got off at the pier.

Friendly driver, well maintained minivan, and a nice stop on the way. The journey took 6 hours from door to door.

On time, very straight forward and nice driver. The bus was tiny so a little uncomfortable but generally an extremely smooth trip! We stopped for lunch 1 hour into journey. Bus goes onto the ferry and driver drops you off on the other side up to a certain point. If you are staying anywhere 15 mins (approx) beyond the pier you will get a taxi for 50 THB which is waiting for you when driver drops you off. ☺️

The minivan we had, was really bad. It was one of the worst 4-5h ride we had from our 6 months travelling. The minivan had 0 suspension, literally every 2 seconds we were bouncing. We both had an upset stomach. Also the seat of my gf was loose, not fixed which made her ride even worser + dangerous (as the minivan was full she couldn't change). ** I have a video of the bumpy ride and photo of the loose seat that I could send Besides that the driver was nice and friendly and the restaurant where he stopped was good. I also think the bus shouldn't have stopped that much on this short ride. We stopped at least 3 times (15 min after 1h, then stopped 30 min for lunch, and then 1h later again 20 min stop). We could have spared 30 min easily.

Things to remember: Note that some of the airlines may have restrictions on checked luggage weight or require paying extra for check-in, choosing seats or transportation of oversized luggage.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Koh Chang, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
