Info on Koh Chang Hotel :

Koh Chang is the second-largest island of Thailand, with many-a nice hotel and resort. located on the Thai east coast near the border to Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. Koh Chang is a mountainous island with several waterfalls. The island is part of the Mu Koh Chang Marine National Park. Until the mid-1980s the infrastructure on Koh Chang was totally undeveloped, but the tourism (and hotels) has significantly increased since then. Koh Chang now receives 100,000 visitors annually, about one third of them Thai. Many book a hotel or resort through us.

From Bangkok the easiest, most direct, and most economical way to get to Koh-Chang
is to take a 1st class bus from the Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai) straight to the Centrepoint ferry pier at Laem Ngop.

The fare is 232 baht (or 438 baht for a round trip) and takes just over five hours. Departures from Ekamai to Koh Chang are at 07:45 & 13:00, and return at 14:00 and 16:00.
Subject to seat availability, this bus can also be boarded at Chanthaburi.

Alternatively, there are 1st class (approx. 5 hours) and 2nd class services from both the Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai) and Northern Bus Terminal (Moh Chit) direct to Trat, and frequent songthaew services from Trat to Laem Ngop (approx. 30 minutes).

The most frequent services are between Ekamai and Trat.

If coming by bus from the south, the #511 air-con bus can be used to connect directly between Bangkok's Southern (Sai Tai Mai) and Eastern (Ekamai) bus terminals.

There are direct minibus services to Laem Ngop from Pattaya, Ban Phe, and Bangkok's Khao San Road.
It may also be possible to proceed directly to Laem Ngop by minibus or songthaew from the Hat Lek / Koh Kong border crossing with southern Cambodia, depending on the time of year, time of day, phase of the moon, etc - enquire locally.

Most ferries operate from Laem Ngop, which has three piers, of which two are currently operational. The Laem Ngop (Tha Khrom Luang or Tha Laern Ngop) pier is approximately 700 meters west of Laem Ngop. The Centrepoint pier is located about 3.5 km north-west of Laem Ngop. These piers serve both vehicle and passenger ferries.

Another vehicle ferry pier is located in Thaachat Bay (Ao Thaachat), around 15 km west of Laem Ngop. Almost all piers on Koh Chang are situated on the eastern side of the island. The major piers are the two Dan Kao piers, Tha Dan Kao and Tha Ferry Dan Kao, who handles most of the traffic.

To take a boat from Laem Ngop to the Dan Kao piers take around 45 minutes. The car ferry from Laem Ngop take around 1 hour and arrives at the Tha Ferry Dan Kao pier, situated 40 minutes southeast of the Tha Dan Kao pier.

The car ferry from Thaachat Bay stops at the Koh Chang Ferry Pier (Tha Ferry Koh Chang) in the Sapparot Bay (Ao Sapparot), which means "Pineapple Bay", 3 kilometers northwest from the Dan Kao piers. Light meals, fruit, fruits and beverages are available at all the piers and on the car ferries.

Koh Chang is about 30km long and almost 14 km wide. The inside of the island is mountainous and covered with tropical rain forest. The highest elevation on Koh CHang is the Khao Salak Phet, 743m above sea level. Around the coast of the island are several sandy beaches, most of which have a dozen resorts or hotels nearby.

In 1982, Koh Chang, together with 50 surrounding small islands was protected as the Mu Koh Chang Marine National Park. About 85% of the island are part of the national park, mostly the rain forest inside the island. Notable animals in the park include the stump-tailed Macaque, the small Indian Civet, the Javan Mongoose, 61 resident bird species. The Koh Chang Wart Frog (Limnonectes kohchangae) was originally thought to be an endemic species, but has now been found on the mainland as well.
