How to Reach Koh Chang, Mak & Kood from Chanthaburi

Chanthaburi is a practical gateway to eastern Thai islands like Koh Chang, Koh Mak, and Koh Kood, located close to Trat.

Best Transport Options

  • Songthaew: Economical ride to Trat or direct to piers—journey takes ~1.5 hours; negotiate fares before departure.
  • Grab/Bolt: Good for one‑way trips, but no return service is allowed from piers.

⚠️ Tip: Consider songthaew to Trat, then tuk‑tuk to the pier for better flexibility.

Island Pier Departures

  • Koh Chang: Ao Thammachat or Center‑Point piers, with frequent boats.
  • Koh Mak & Kood: Laem Sok pier—some ferries serve both islands sequentially.

Booking Tips

  • Purchase boat tickets in advance, especially in high season (Nov–Apr).
  • Choose services offering luggage space and island drop-off.

Enjoy seamless travel from Chanthaburi to Thailand’s Eastern Islands!

Pensez à réserver vos billets de bateau à l’avance, surtout en haute saison (novembre-avril).
