Affordable, Door-to-Door Private Transfers to Koh Chang
Trusted Koh Chang Transfer Service Since 2006
As an independent traveler trying to avoid the overcrowded islands in the South of Thailand, you’re probably looking for the easiest way to get to and from Koh Chang.
Or maybe you’re a little tired of late drivers running on ‘Thai time’, a bit concerned about the language-barrier, or perhaps not even sure where to start when booking safe and inexpensive travel in Thailand.
I moved to Koh Chang in 2003 years ago when there were far less convenient online booking services, so know exactly how that feels.
Looking for tickets for a shared minibus service? Click here to skip to the details and prices.When traveling to Koh Chang, there are four options to choose from:
-
- Public Bus – the cheapest option available, but also the slowest and often uncomfortable.
- Flying – by far the most expensive and you still need to contend with the hassle of hanging around an airport.
- Shared Minibus – an inexpensive, convenient but sometimes crowded, service offered from most hotels in central Bangkok.
- Public taxi – a public taxi from Bangkok is possible but drivers usually won’t come onto the island and are often in a hurry.
- Private Transfer by Car or Minibus – the fastest, most convenient and direct option and much more affordable than you think!
If flying is too expensive, and the bus is too slow or too crowded, then hiring a private car or booking a seat on a shared minibus is an affordable, safe, and speedy alternative.
We’ve been helping friends and travelers book hassle-free trips to and from Koh Chang for over 14 years using a team of local drivers and trusted transport companies.
The #1 goal is to make sure that you have a fantastic time in Koh Chang and an easy travel experience getting here – so if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Here’s Why We’ve Got Great Feedback Over the Years
✅Pay when and how you want. Unlike other private transfer services, with us you can pay in advance or wait to pay when you’ve reached your destination. Pay online via Paypal or in cash to the driver once you’ve arrived safely at the end of the journey.
The driver can even stop at a bank or currency exchange on the island (where you’ll get a much better rate than at the airport.) If you wish to pay in advance, you’re welcome to do so via Paypal. The only exception is if you’re going to a destination in Cambodia where you pay your Thai driver at the border crossing.
✅ All of our Koh Chang transfers are “door to door” – meaning our drivers will meet you at your hotel, the airport, or wherever you need to be picked up. Then you’re dropped off at your destination. We promise you will never be left at a bus station or ferry pier . . . . unless that’s where you want to go.
✅ Our drivers use the fast ferry to help you get to your destination sooner. We use the quicker ‘Ferry Koh Chang’ service – NOT the slow ‘Centrepoint’ boats, which has less frequent departures and a longer crossing time.
✅ Your driver will gladly stop for lunch, toilet breaks or snacks along the way. You can decide when you want to stop during your trip.
✅ Zero hidden fees or extra charges. All of our prices listed below include the cost of your transfer, the driver’s fee, tax, gasoline, ferry tickets, and expressway tolls if necessary.
✅ Flexible and convenient. We’ll do our best to accommodate your needs including last minute changes due to flight delays etc.
✅ Traveling with Children? We have car seats for infants, toddlers and young kids available for a small surcharge.
✅ Round-trip discounts. Return private transfers between Bangkok and Koh Chang are discounted by 500 Baht. And, as you’ll have already taken care of your trip back to the city, you can relax and simply enjoy your time on the island.
