Koh Chang Island, Thailand - "Chang Island, to which it is easy to get from Pattaya. On the coral islands on the boat, exotic bathing with elephants

Island Ko Chang - the third largest island in Thailand. After Phuket and Samui.
A sufficient number of Russians choose it for wintering. Why dont know. In my opinion, on the island live hard and boring, but this is a matter of taste of course.
The island of Koh Chang attracted me the fact that there can be reached from Pattaya by car, gearing on the ferry. On the nearest to Pattaya, the island of Samat, unfortunately,
It is impossible to come on the car.

From Pattaya on Koh Chang by car

From Pattaya to Chang Island by car only 350 km.

If there is no car or desire to go on it - it's easy to go taking an excursion all inclusive to Chang Island.
I included it in the list of the 20 best excursions of PattayaSo if you need contacts of a proven and reliable tour bureau with which we have been driving for several years and recommend friends and readers, write in the comments - I will send to the mail.

We left the house early in the morning and arrived at Koh Chang to dinner.
Since we were a little Dasha, (she was only 1.4g at that time), the road did not seem to me fast and cloudless.
Really, reach an hour 4-5, not counting the ferry crossing. To Changa from Pattaya about 350 km.

Ferry on Ko Chang

It is located next to the city of Chang. It is impossible to get lost, the pointers that will lead you to the right place.
Pier 2:
KOH CHANG FERRY PIER AT AO THAMMACHART - Cost of crossing a person 80 baht and 120 both sides and 200 BAT for the car.
Ferry go every hour from 6 to 19:00 and until 21:00 on weekends.
CENTER POINT FERRY PIER - Something, only the car is free.
In the way, about 40-50 minutes, which fly imperceptibly, since on the second floor there is a mini cafe with coffee and drinks.
Crossing seemed to me well, albeit rather long. First you buy a ticket for the car and passengers, then become a queue.
The employees of the port build cars in a row and in line order help to boot on the ferry.
Of course, "lucky", our car did not fit in the ferry and had to wait for the following.
Ferries from spending go every half an hour, contrary to information on the Internet. Although, perhaps, this is because our trip fell on weekends.

At the exit from the ferry on Koh Chang, you will be offered Tuk Tuki to all the beaches of the island. Cost from 50 baht per person at the closest - White Sands Beach, up to 120bat
For the road to the very end of the beaches of Chang, the fishing village of Bang Bao.
The road to Chang does not get closed into the ring.

What is he khang?

For some reason I am waiting for something special every time from the islands, I don't know why. In reality, at least Ko Lan, even to Chang with the sampet, differ from each other except with the area and number of people.
Of course, we will not exaggerate, on Ko Lan, there is almost nothing to look at, and there are elephants and waterfalls with the jungle on Khanga, but in general, an ordinary tourist who came to "continue" in the sun - this is all the same. If you want more privacy and the Aithian flavor with the atmosphere, then do not be lazy to go to Ko Kud's closest to Changu. That's where is really paradise.


Island - he and in Thailand Island, with all the consequences, somehow: the prices are higher for all at times, with medicine so-so, in a difficult situation you need to ship into the nearest
Spending. Standing in line on the ferry - also dubious pleasure.

Go to the weekend, change the scenery - ok, but live, nuuu, no, perhaps.

On the Internet, it is customary to sign up its trips to the islands as a paradise and not forgotten, lowering some domestic and other disadvantages, as not significant.
This is certainly my subjective objectivity, but what can be done, everyone has the right to its own point of view.

All beaches to Chang - what to choose?

The beach of the beach on Koh Chang was tightly connected with the hotel. I have definitely needed the first coastline to the beach clean and sane prices.
With the accumulation of prices for hotels on the islands in principle, everything is bad. The choice is small - the competition is sufficient, the price for which in Pattaya or Bangkoe can be renting a room in a very good hotel,
On Khanga will be for barely 3 stars and the estimate of the rest gave God by 6.7 points.

The beaches are a few, the most popular - White Sand Beach, was rejected by me at once, like a beach on which too many people. There are packaged batch tourists and wanted a more secluded place.
Although, upon arrival it turned out that White Sand Beach is not so bad as his little. There are all sorts of parties and parties.

In Dol White Sand Beach is a lot of hotels. You can arrive walk along the shore and choose the favor.

Where to settle on Koh Changga

If you arrived at Koh Chang on your own, then you probably want to rent a bike. Despite my not small driving experience, I would not ride on Khanga.
Surrible Surpantine Surfaceless, Surpant, is not a big desire to sit behind the wheel of the bike. Very often there in the accident, of course not, all these are sad stories.
What to do? Take a car or Tuk Tuk.

To begin with, watch hotels, select the beach, read the reviews and narrow the search range. Decide what you want - to walk a lot, watch the surroundings,
Go on a tour or just lying on the beach.
What are you going for? For family or romantic leave or hang out?
If you are a top youth, then you will be bored and quiet to the clone. There, after sunset, everyone goes to bed :)

M s did not plan to get out of anywhere, so I felt Klong Prao along and across and chose as a result. Hotel - Magic Resort.
Returning to the conversation about savings, it is a pity that at that moment I could not find him in any booking system at all,
But he is on Rum Guru and almost twice cheaper than rented on the spot (!!) we. On Rumguor, the price of a house of a house in which we lived for the same dates, all 36 dollars .
I believe that this is a very good option for your money and corresponds to what I wanted. My husband disagree with me, so as you can see how many people, so many opinions.
Of the advantages - a nice clean beach, a good cafe right on the pier near, unnatible staff, there is where to park the car, silence, peace, the child is fine.
Of the minuses - all the enhanced and amenities are not for ramp and weaklyer, everything is very, very simple. All old, but working. I actually spit, I'm behind the beach and silence, so
I all arranged.

We watched Klong Prao Resort, there were a couple of options and at a price of 4,000 per room.
Then passed towards Amari. I can not remember the name of the hotel, which goes into the joint with Amari, but I shocked me that only numbers on the first floor were left overlooking
The kitchen of staff, from which pulled the garbage and at a price above 100 dollars per room no more than 15 meters.

It began to get upset that I would not find anything decent and so as not expensive.
Having passed on the beach by Amari, we came across Magic Resort and decided to stop in it.
For 100 dollars, we shot 2 rooms (one house with two numbers) right on the seashore. Each house was designed for 4 people.

Magic Resort Ko Chang - Minuses and Pluses

Of course, we were not lucky. Before bedtime, I smeared give a whole lotion from mosquitoes, they remained not smeared only eyelids, where to bite her mosquito.

In the morning, the eye had a child almost did not open, I had to go to Bangkok Ko Chang Hospital. Where we waited an hour and a half, although there was no one except
The doctor examined the minute and wrote down antihistamines and ointment. Helped immediately.

Then, we "forgot" to return the passport, although the insurance (reso), has already confirmed the payment. When a husband returned for a passport, the Russian employee discolished it
The tub of mats, that if not for steam, I would be happy to roll the complaint. Just hamke and pig.

With all this, do not forget to buy tourist insurance abroad. It is not so expensive, for a short period at all a penny, but the fabulous amount of money and nerves will save you.
I constantly hold the hand on the pulse, the insurance often change, new, the old disappear is added. At the moment, the best insurance option abroad is definitely ERV coated
from 50,000 dollars. In second place Zetta, and in general it depends on your needs.
. There are cheaper than all and employees will always answer all questions, will help solve problems if they arise and can even extend (and pushing)
Insurance, when those begin to take off from paying large amounts of payments.
Thailand is the loss direction at insurance, because it is very often treated. For the same reason, it is necessary to insure !!!

Not minus, but notice, in Magic Resort there is no pool. Who needs it, of course, but suddenly.

M s stayed there for two nights and personally I liked the trip.
In the evening, I played quiet pleasant music, noise the surf and setting the children to sleep, we chatted in the dark, enjoying the salt air of this beautiful island.

Surprised what Thais - Thais. Besides us, no one expressed the desire to dine in a cafe on the pier, and now, we came the clock by 22:00, it turned out that
They no longer work. Rather, it was 20 minutes before the closure, zero people, and to the question - whether they would work, said - nea. And really, why?

Well, not trouble. We sat perfectly sitting on an open veranda, on the beach Amari. Very recommending a restaurant on the beach. Prices are certainly not happy, but, very tasty.
Perhaps the only place where all we ordered turned out to be delicious. Very interesting and not a banal selection of dishes, excellent cocktails.
If dinner wants in a romantic setting - here is the very place. Work until late.

What to look at Khanga?

Massed nothing and in principle did not plan hikes to waterfalls and in the jungle.
They wondered the elephants, fed them (you can still ride) and went to the look Point.

Elephants are not difficult to find, farm in front of the hotel Cents.

With a sightseeing site, too, do not miss, she is behind the Blong Brono Beach. It's hard to get lost when the road is one.

Dashin's eye spoiled the impression from the rest, I honestly revealed, and immediately thought - as you can with small children
live on the islands? In the case of anything, you do not have time! There are no resuscitation in the hospital and one and a half of the doctor, whose competences can be doubted.
Heavy patients are brought by helicopter in spending. Will this insurance pay? question.

Yes, prices were also delivered. For inspection and penny drugs, 5000 baht bills allowed! Five thousand! For receiving the therapist!
Husband shrugged and said - Cat! Well, how do you need to live on something? There are no people, so the prices are twisted what to do.

If in general, then I travel to Khang, like almost all trips, liked. Feeling of the road, hotel selection, joy from the sea and the sun, new places -
All this is great and that for what people are going to the way.
But, probably, we are unlikely to go soon again on the island of Koh Chang. The most closest to us, not less picturesque and do not need to go 4 hours by car.
And also, I want to do new places. But if you are in thought, go to Chang or not, of course go!

Pattaya is definitely a cheerful city. But how many people in the world are there people who would like to be a raw holiday every day? Sometimes you want to relax from the hyperactive lifestyle, to be alone with you and the virgin nature or just get over.

And best do it on the island of Koh Chang. He is the exact opposite of Pattaya. No violent entertainment, only quiet beaches, drying under the wind of slim palm trees da measured surf whisper.

There is another reason why many tourists are asked about how to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang. Global warming is reflected in Thailand in the Phenomenon of El Niño. It manifests itself in the unpredictability of the weather. For several years now, in a row, a delayed shower is poured in a dry period, and the sun shines on the rainy season over the island of Koh Chang and there is no precipitation drops.

Maybe for agriculture Thailand is a catastrophe, but not for tourists. After all, prices in the so-called rainy season remain low. In this article we will tell you in detail how to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang with different types of transport.

Distance between points

Thailand is famous for rest on the islands. Pattaya and Hua Hin are definitely good resorts, but Ko (that is, the island) Samui, Phangan, Tao, Phuket, Phui Phi and Chang is incomparably better. In the mainland coastal cities, life beats the key. But the same pleasures will give you to Phuket - the largest island of the country.

Chang - the second in the sizes of the country. But on it you will not meet the cities of dubious joys, which are full of on Patong, and the streets like Bangla Road. On this island you will not entertain the show of transvestites. But you can completely feel like Robinzone Cruzo - after all, most of its part is occupied by the swords of the jungle rocks. And the beaches there in a hundred times read more than in Pattaya.

How to get yourself to Koh Chang? Our article will be devoted to this issue. In the meantime, we say that the island, whose name is translated as an "elephant", is located south-east of Pattaya. The distance between items is 251 kilometers in a straight line.

But there is no air service between Pattaya and Chang. Therefore, all the rest of the way, even by sea, will be longer. Let's take a closer look at the most independent traveler to get to the Paradise Island.

By air or by sea?

If you are a zealous fan of air transport, you can return from Pattaya in Bangkok and fly out internally airlines to the province of spending, to the city of the same name (on board - about 40 minutes). It is located on the mainland.

To get to the island of Koh Chang, you need to sit on the Songteo minibus, next to the pier Lang Ngop. The trip lasts from a quarter of an hour. There you need to take a ticket to the ferry to Chang. This ship will deliver you to the island for half an hour.

Most hotels on Khanga are located 20 minutes from the pier to which the ferry approaches. As you can see, this option is the road to the capital flight, a trip to the pier and swimming is not only the most expensive, but also long.

As for the path to the sea, it is theoretically possible, but in practice only happy yacht owners is available. If you do not rush, but proceed from the principle "How to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang is most comfortable", then the whole road will take two days. But there will be many impressions: fishing, night fishing squid, sunset and dawn into the sea in Chonburi province.

What is a combi ticket in Thailand

In the kingdom of smiles, the transfer of tourists to various islands is established and deposited to the smallest detail. It, as a rule, includes a train (or bus) and a ferry (or spedboat, high-speed vessel). Buy combic acid from any item on the island can be in a turbule.

There is such a ticket more expensive than if you ourselves paid for travel at the office of the train station, the bus station and on the pier. But you do not need to fool your head on questions about how to get from the city of spending to the pier and what to do if the train fails, etc. The passenger transportation industry works like Swiss clock.

The tourist is glued (literally, on the clothes) the label, according to which the staff pull him out of the crowd of other travelers, literally for the handle to take it to the right minivan, plant on the ferry and so in a gentle way, as if precious cargo, deliver from point A in Item B.

What is the advantage of such a transfer? You do not need to think about how to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang - all worries take on the company. You can also negotiate that you are taken directly from the hotel, and you took the address on the address you need.

Minuses of the Combi-Ticket

High price is the main disadvantage of such a service. The cheapest shuttle service will cost a traveler at 500 baht (973 rubles). It is if you buy a ticket from a direct artist service to "35 Pattaya Group". The office of this company is located on the third street of the resort.

The rest of the turbule is only mediators booking a place for you in the company's minibuses. They have a comb-ticket (bus + ferry) will be from 600 to 900 baht (1170-1750 rubles) in one direction. Another minus is an early departure from Pattaya. Buses depart from the city from 6 to 9 am.

And finally, the most important thing: the company's office of 35 GROUP Pattaya is not on the island. How to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang, so it is only part of the problem. You have to think about how to return. And what if you are already on the island? You can buy a transfer from intermediaries - tourist firms.

But if you do not want to overpay, purchase the reverse Combi-ticket back in Pattaya. It also costs 500 baht (973 rubles). Moreover, such a ticket can be bought with an open date.

The transfer of passengers involves passing by the bus for three and a half hours before the pier, and then a 40-minute sailing. Before this, tourists from hotels can be organized. Next, travelers are still moving along the island of Koh Chang to hotels.

The same trouble-free way to get to the place is a taxi. The car will take you "from the door to the door." You can order a taxi from Utapao or directly from the city. The price also depends on the destination. The most reasonable to order a taxi to the Pierce of Trata.

On the ferry you will enter as pedestrians. And on the island you can hire another taxi. The whole road will take about four hours in this case. The fare depends on the capacity and class of the machine. But Taxi Pattaya - Pierce spending will cost at least 6900 rubles.

Bus and ferry

Tourists who want to be independent in all movements in Thailand, we will give detailed instructions, how to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang. Buses to the city of spending depart from the station.

This station is located on Sukhumvit Road, a hundred meters from the Central Station of Pattaya. The ticket can be purchased directly at the box office or online. The fare to spending is only 200 baht (390 rubles)

Thus, the bus and steam is the most budget way to get to Chang Island. Tourists assure that you can and do not rush to the bus station. The cars are selected on the road of all "voting".

Climb buses go every day, but only in the morning, from 6:00 to noon. These are very comfortable cars, air conditioning and soft seats. But on the path of the flight buses make so many stops that the way to the city of Trata will take not three and a half hours, and all five.

Ferries up to Chang from spending

An independent tourist has an advantage compared to those who paid the transfer. He can choose a pier from which to go to the island. In Trat two pier. From the Pier Laem NGOP will start and "batch" passengers of minivans.

But an independent tourist may well buy a ticket to the ferry at the post office. It costs 80 baht (156 rubles), and in both directions - 120 (234 rubles). On the way will have to spend about 50 minutes. Ferries walk from six in the morning and up to seven in the evening with an interval per hour.

The second Pier is called JSC Tammachat. There from the bus station, spending also run Songteo. From the Tammachate Ferry JSC go more often - every half hour. These high-speed trials overcome the distance between the mainland and the island in 25 minutes. But the ticket is a bit more expensive - one hundred baht (195 rubles) in one direction.

The first ferry with Tammachata AO is sent at 6:30, and the last - in seven pm. You should not worry that you will have to swell right on Pierce Bang Bao on Chang Island. A number of minivans, taxis and sonGTEO are built up to the arrival of each ferry.

How to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang on a bike or car

In Thailand, many tourists prefer to rent a vehicle. It is cheap and convenient. This is especially true of motorbikes, which are not terrible traffic jams and congestion on the roads.

If you have already managed to get used to the left-sided movement in Thailand, you can try to get to Chang Island by rental. To do this, you need to overcome 230 kilometers to get on one of the purses of waste.

All the way will take about four and a half hours. On the road leading to the southeast, signs are often found on spending.

What you need to take into account the motorist

Little to know how to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang by car. If you want to disseminate on the Iron horse on the island, you need to deliver it there. This is possible, but requires additional investment.

The car venter on the ferries is paid separately. The service in one direction is worth a hundred bah (195 rubles.). As you will export the car back, it is wiser to buy a double ticket for 180 baht (350 rubles).

Book taxi from Pattaya to Koh Chang. Or order a transfer with a group on a minibus. Here are 2 basic way to get to Koh Chang. You can order a taxi to Koh Chang online either in place. It is cheaper to get a 35-group transfer for 400 baht per person. Both options include a trip to the ground to spending and steam on the island.

Pattaya - Ko Chang: how to get yourself

Communication language is minimal English. All you have to say there: Koh Chang, choose time, how many people, the name of your hotel and room number, your phone number. Vkontakte is a Russian-speaking group of 35group, through which transfers are sold. But I'm not sure that they are official representatives. Most likely some kind of agency.

Koh Chang is one of the largest island of Thailand, his name in Thai means "elephant". Chang Island is part of the National Park Mu Koh Chang. Distance from Pattaya to Koh Changa - 250 km.

In the nature of Khanga very easy to fall in love. Mountain landscapes, wild jungle, sandy beaches with coconut trees, waterfalls - this is what makes returning here again and again. Most of the hotels are located along the western coast, the eastern part of the island is poorly equipped. In the south Koh Chang is a fishing village Bang Bao.

We offer a convenient and inexpensive way to get to Koh Chang - a group transfer on a minibus (or a large bus in a high season) and ferry.

You can also order an individual transfer - taxi to the pier or to the hotel on Khanga. Ferry tickets are not included in the taxi cost.

If you do not know exactly the return date, you can make a reservation with an open date, but not less than a day before the desired date of departure, you must notify about the return.

We do not recommend ordering a reverse transfer from the island on the same day as the date of departure.

Since the bus may arrive in Pattaya not on a schedule, we do not recommend planning the trips somewhere on this day.

A desire to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang often arises from tourists who spent some time in the conditions of Pattaya and are somewhat tired of its rampant fun and in general from the noise of a large resort town. In this regard, Chang is the opposite of Pattaya. This is a quiet and very picturesque island with magnificent beaches, high mountains, coconut palm trees and other tropical vegetation. There is nothing surprising that the number of tourists who want to spend several days on Koh Chang is constantly increasing. This article is told about the simplest and most popular ways to get from Pattaya to Chang quickly and comfortably. You will also learn in what cases it is more profitable to use one or another option.

First of all, the article we are talking about integrated transfers. Despite the fact that Pattaya's transfer - Koh Chang is not the most budget way to get to the island, it is he who is recommended to all experienced travelers, once making sure of its advantages. A completely small overpayment for the specified transfer compared to other methods described at the end of this article and also allowing to get to Chang from Pattaya and back, is completely compensated by convenience and simplicity.

Today in Pattaya it is easy to find a lot of tourist offices, which will gladly deal with your move on to Chang Island, but not everywhere the prices are the same and in the same way can be paid both 400 THB and 1000 THB. This is due to the fact that not all sellers and transport companies themselves are delivered by the delivery of passengers on the Pattaya route - Ko Chang: many are only intermediaries. As a result, the cost of the transfer for customers of such companies will often be higher than among tourists who turned directly to the transfer organizers.

Pattaya Transfer - Koh Chang from Mango Travel

This way to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang appeared in July 2018 and is popular with tourists who prefer to get to Chang Island from Pattaya quickly and without additional transfers. The essence of this offer is shipped from the hotel to the hotel. At the same time, your moving to Koh Chang consists of three stages:

one). A minibus takes you at the Pattaya Hotel and delivers a Pier in the province of spending.

2). Water portion of the route you overcome on the ferry on Koh Chang.

3). You again take your place in a minibus, and it delivers you to the hotel on Koh Chang Island.

You can order a transfer from Manga Travel. At the same time, you do not need to visit the office of the company in Pattaya and spend your time and money for it. Payment is possible with PayPal and bank cards. The cost of the transfer includes a ticket to the ferry. At the same time there are some limitations regarding the location of hotels in Pattaya and to Chang. In Pattaya, a free shuttle service includes the entire southern part of the city (Jomtien and Jomtien regions), the entire Central Pattaya and Cholean District in North Pattaya.

Bus Salon Mango Travel - Pattaya Transfer - Ko Chang

At the same time, the company does not take tourists, whose hotels are located on Sukumvit Road. Free shipping on Koh Chang is available for hotels located on White Sand Beach beaches, Klong Prao Beach, Kai Bae Beach, Lonely Beach and Baible Beach. Those. This is almost all the west coast of Chang Island, where 90% of all hotels are located. The cost also includes the transport of one luggage space for each passenger. Before your trip, you must print a voucher, which will be sent to email after payment transfer.

The duration of the trip from Pattaya to Koh Chang is about 6 hours, but in reality the road to the island can take longer. Collection of tourists in Pattaya hotels begins at 7:00 am, and departure from the city usually around 07:40. During the trip, 1-2 stops on the gas station are provided, where tourists can visit free toilets and buy something in stores and cafes. A minibus includes 14 passenger seats and is equipped with air conditioning (it is better to use a sweater or a light jacket if you are poorly carrying cooled air.

The cost of transfer Pattaya - Koh Chang from Mango Travel at the time of writing this article is 990 THB. At first glance, it is not very cheap, especially if you are traveling not alone. For example, you can order for 3500-4000 THB for 4 people. The cost for each passenger will be approximately the same. And comfort and speed above. But if you compare with other offers of transfers on minibuses, then the option can be considered.

You can easily find transfers for 500-600 THB from Pattaya to the pier in the province of spending, but then you must additionally pay a ticket to the ferry (+80 THB) and a taxi pickup to the right beach (day from 50 to 150 THB, in the evening more expensive). It turns out that instead of 500-600 THB, the cost of your trip increases to 700-900 THB, which is not much cheaper transfer prices. Plus, you may have to do some way on foot to the hotel from the main road on the desired beach.

In other words, I recommend choosing a transfer from Mango Travel in cases where you want to get a complete transfer from the hotel to the hotel without additional transfers and communications with local taxi drivers. If you want to save, especially when you are traveling not alone, I recommend using the following option that always use yourself.

Transfer Pattaya - Chang from 35 Group Pattaya

The company with the best prices to date and excellent reputation is 35 Group Pattaya, the office of which is located on the third street in Pattaya, close to the crossroads with south street. If you go from the beginning of the Walking Street in South Street, then you need to go through several small intersections, i.e. The third street is not the next intersection for the second street, as many people think, but much further, but I always went on foot without problems. Your guide should be a traffic light on a larger crossroads than previous and low repair of motorbikes in front of him, located in the building on the right in the course of the movement (although the establishments and signs in Pattaya describe it is useless, since everything is rapidly changing).

At this crossroad, you need to turn left and go through several buildings until you see a 4-storey pink building with balconies. Again on the left side of the corresponding signboard (see photo) and a glass door. By the way, on the road signs the street is denoted as Pattaya Tai (Latin). To do not look for a long time in reality in the hot Thai sun, I recommend previewing your path with Google Street View. Before entering the office, you must remove the shoes (see a lot of shoes before the door and remember it).

In the office of the transport company, you will be asked, on which island you want to book a shuttle service (Pattaya - Ko Chang), the date and time of departure you want. You must also report your hotel's name and its address in Pattaya. If your hotel is small and little-known, take a business card with the address at the reception, so that the driver will accurately find you before traveling to Chang). There will be no problem if you prefer to stay in Pattaya in private apartments, as I do with AirbnB (here you can get as a gift in this service). You will also need to leave a phone number for communication in Thailand. You probably use it and it will not be a problem.

Company 35 GROUP PATTAYA produces three flights along the Pattaya route - Ko Chang per day: at 07:00 and 09:00 am and at 13:00. The cost of the transfer of Pattaya - Koh Chang from 2013 to the present is only 400 baht, and at the specified value included a ticket to the ferry spending - Koh Chang (who is worth 80 baht when buying separately). If you plan to return to Chang to Pattaya (and not in Bangkok, for example), I advise you to order a ticket immediately and in the opposite direction, i.e. Transfer to Chang - Pattaya. Earlier, it was possible to save another 100 baht, because the transfer in both directions was 700 THB until the end of 2017). Since 2018, the cost of transfer in both directions is 800 THB. The return ticket can be taken from the open date (tell me the girl in the office, which is needed "Open Ticket" (Open Ticket)). With a reverse transfer there are some nuances that are discussed in the next section.

After paying tickets from you, no action will be required in order to get from Pattaya to Koh Chang. Just expect a minibus at the right time in the right place (the girl in the office will write to you in advance on paper, at what time you will send a minibus to the hotel or condo). At the appointed time you will be taken and will be taken on a comfortable VIP minibace to Toyota to the pier in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Trath, from where ferries are departed to Koh Chang. Next to the pier there is a small office of the company 35 Group Pattaya, whose employee will give you tickets to the ferry to Chang. Ferry ticket to Chang - red. If you have paid a reverse transfer to Pattaya, make sure you have received a return ticket to the ferry from Koh Chang Islands (green).

Next, you must go to a small waiting room and wait for the nearest ferry to the island. In good weather you can see the island from the mainland. The ferry will deliver you to Chang in about 30 minutes. On the passenger deck there are cafes and you can take a free map to Chang. Ferry Pier on Koh Chang is located on the eastern side of the island, and most hotels and beaches are on Western. Therefore, you may have to use Songteo (Passenger taxi-pickup). Before the nearest one is given in a separate article - White Sand Beach - the trip will cost 50-60 baht, to Kai Bae Beach and Lonely Beach - 100-150 baht (depending on the time of day and the total number of passengers in a pickup).

If you do not want to spend time visiting the company's office of 35 Group Pattaya, you can buy a shuttle service to Chang on a minibase of this carrier on the network. Such transfers sell intermediaries and costs will be higher at 100-200 THB per person. At the same time, such offers often do not include a ferry ticket. And this is another 80 THB to your expenses, so keep in mind and specify all the details.

During the order of Pattaya shutter - Koh Chang, you can pay delivery directly to a particular hotel on the island. Of course, it will cost more, about 600 THB in one direction or about 1200 THB for a trip to both sides. But someone will seem comfortable for someone, especially if you managed to save a lot using the search form of hotels and compare prices for them in various booking systems, which is located just below. I pay attention to: the company's reputation of 35 Group Pattaya is really good and not only among Russian-speaking tourists, therefore, it is increasingly necessary to order the transfer of Pattaya - to Chang in advance. I myself encountered a situation when I had to postpone the trip to Chang for one day due to the lack of free places in the minibus. Therefore, if you want to be guaranteed to go to the island of Koh Chang from Pattaya cheaply - order a transfer in advance.

Reverse transfer to Chang - Pattaya from 35 GROUP PATTAYA

If the reverse transfer is ordered, be sure to ask for an employee of the company "35 Group Pattaya", which will meet you upon arrival at the pier, receipt for the return ticket to the ferry. For some reason, I refused such a receipt for some reason, I had to demand more insistently, indicating that there is a ticket with an open date back. If the reverse transfer is originally ordered at a specific date, just come a few hours before departure to Pattaya on the island pier, exchange a receipt for a ticket and go to the landing on the ferry.

If the inverse transfer to Chang - Pattaya With an open date, it should be changed to the company's office two days before the planned departure from the island and book places in minibas. If this is not done, free places on the bus may not be and will have to look for other options for returning to Pattaya and overpay for it. A little refinement: the employees speak only in Thai and English (as in the company's offices), so it is desirable to know this language a little and be able to connect a few words on it to explain what you need (you need to specify the contract number, date and date Departure time from spending in Pattaya).

The exchange of receipt for a ticket is made in the window at the entrance to the pier territory on the island (before departing to the mainland). You can get to the pier in the same way as at the arrival on the island - using SongTEO. By the way, it is better to arrive at the pier in advance so as not to be late for your reverse transfer. Saying on the ferry in spending, it is necessary to appeal to the office of the company "35 Group Pattaya", from the doors of which buses and show your ticket. Often at the same time you on a T-shirt stick a bright sticker with the name of the company so that you are not lost.

If the company's minibuse arrived in the chosen time, and there was no place for you in it, you should not panic and swear, "losing face." Soon another minibass will arrive and you will definitely be taken to the hotel in Pattaya, from where they were originally taken. Along the way and there, and back mini abilities necessarily stops at the gas station, where you are dojuna to leave the bus for a few minutes. You can simply stretch your legs, but you can eat local food (from the Makashnitsa), eat fruit or go to the 7/11 store (there are not at all refills) and buy there or beer. Only do not confuse mini, they are usually a lot and all white. Therefore, pay attention to the name of the company (on the photo is highlighted with a yellow marker) and remember the companions.

Why Pattaya Transfer - Koh Chang is more profitable and more convenient to bus

More accessible in first glance, ways are regular buses passing through Pattaya in spending. Their cost is about 200-250 baht. It would seem that the amount is almost two times less than the cost of an organized transfer on. However, if you add 80 baht to this amount per ticket for a ferry, it is already about 300 baht. Plus, it is necessary to get from the hotel to the northern bus station in Pattaya or Sukkhumvit's tracks (10-20 baht on SongTeo or much more on a taxi), find a suitable bus (and with this, too, not everything, if you use the succumber passing through Pattaya, which you need Establish or asking to do these are local residents, as well as for a small remuneration).

In addition, from the spending itself it will be necessary to independently get to one of the ferry berths, using local SongTEO, which will reach you again in the amount of about 50 baht. In other words, the amount is obtained similar to, plus-minus 30 baht, with difficulties much more, especially if there are problems with English. If you order a transfer in both directions, then this method is not only the fastest, but also the cheapest and freight buses at all can not be competition.
