Bangkok to Koh Chang Taxi & Van Transfer from ฿6,500

Koh Chang is Thailand's second-largest island, in Trat province. Reaching it from Bangkok means about 330 km by road to Laem Ngop pier, four and a half to five hours, followed by a 30 to 45 minute ferry crossing. Kingtocar arranges private van charters to Koh Chang with a driver, dropping you right at Laem Ngop pier at one flat price from your Bangkok door — no multiple transfers with luggage, and a return pick-up can be arranged in advance.

Laem Ngop ferry piers

Laem Ngop ferry piers

Several piers operate here under different companies, so check with your island accommodation which one to use. The last sailing is usually in the early evening and the crossing takes 30 to 45 minutes.

White Sand Beach

White Sand Beach

The busiest beach on Koh Chang, with hotels, restaurants and shops. Best for first-time visitors who want convenience, and the sunsets are excellent on this western shore.

Klong Prao and Kai Bae beaches

Klong Prao and Kai Bae beaches

Longer and quieter than White Sand, with mid-range to upscale resorts. A good balance for families who want calm but still a choice of restaurants.

Klong Plu Waterfall

Klong Plu Waterfall

The island's largest waterfall, inside Mu Ko Chang National Park, a 15 to 20 minute walk from the car park with a pool for swimming. Strongest in the rainy season.

Bang Bao fishing village

Bang Bao fishing village

A stilted fishing village on a wooden pier at the island's southern end, with seafood restaurants and over-water guesthouses, and the departure point for diving trips to Koh Rang.

Kai Bae viewpoint and the ring road

Kai Bae viewpoint and the ring road

The island ring road has several viewpoints over the sea and outlying islets. Some sections are very steep, so a well-maintained vehicle and a driver familiar with the island are essential.

Why book this route with us

084-709-3719

Straight to Laem Ngop pier

We drop at the ferry terminal entrance so you walk in, buy tickets and board — no hauling luggage onto a songthaew or motorbike for the last stretch.

Timed for the last ferry

The final sailing is usually in the early evening, so we set your Bangkok pick-up to reach the pier at least an hour beforehand, allowing for traffic and ticketing.

Flat ฿6,500 per trip

฿6,500 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿12,000 for a Toyota Alphard, including fuel, motorway tolls, the driver and bottled water, with nothing collected on arrival.

Pre-arranged return pick-up

Tell us your return ferry date and time when booking the outbound leg and a van will be waiting as the boat docks — far safer than hunting for transport on a busy long weekend.

Travel tips for this route

  1. You must reach Laem Ngop before the last ferry, usually in the early evening. Leaving Bangkok by 8am gets you to the pier by early afternoon with a comfortable buffer; miss the boat and you overnight on the mainland.
  2. Our vans go as far as Laem Ngop pier and do not cross to the island. On Koh Chang, shared songthaews serve the whole island, or your resort can arrange collection at the island pier.
  3. Peak season runs November to April with calm seas and fine weather. From May to October it is the rainy season, seas can be rough and some sailings are cancelled, so check the forecast.
  4. At 330 km and around five hours, plan one or two breaks in Rayong or Chanthaburi for restrooms and food — much more comfortable than driving straight through, especially with children or older passengers.

What's included

  • Professional driver who knows the route
  • Fuel + expressway and motorway tolls
  • Chilled water on board · child seat on request
  • Parking fees everywhere · light snacks on board
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the van cross to Koh Chang?

No — we drop you at Laem Ngop pier and you take the ferry across, a 30 to 45 minute crossing. On the island, shared songthaews serve everywhere, or your resort can meet you at the island pier. For the return we can wait for you at Laem Ngop.

How long from Bangkok to Laem Ngop pier?

About four and a half to five hours for the 330 km via Motorway 7 and Sukhumvit Route 3, or up to six on long weekends. Leave Bangkok by 8am to be sure of catching the last ferry.

Does ฿6,500 include the ferry ticket?

No. The ฿6,500 is the one-way vehicle charter covering fuel, motorway tolls, driver and water. Ferry tickets are bought at the pier and vary by operator, and island accommodation and transport are separate.

When is the best time to visit Koh Chang?

November to April is best, with fine weather, calm seas and full ferry schedules. May to October is the rainy season — accommodation is much cheaper, but seas can be rough and some sailings cancelled, so always check the forecast.

Can we book the return journey in advance?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it, especially on long weekends when vehicles at the pier are scarce. Give us your return ferry date and time at the outbound booking and a van will be waiting when the boat docks.

How much is a taxi from Bangkok to Koh Chang?

Our private van taxi from Bangkok to Koh Chang is a fixed price per vehicle, one way: Toyota Commuter ฿6,500 (9–13 seats) or Toyota Alphard ฿12,000 (6–7 seats), including driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water — no meter and no surcharge for luggage. We drop you at the Laem Ngop ferry pier; boat tickets are paid separately. The return from Koh Chang costs the same.
