By Road

There are two main driving routes from Bangkok, both around 310 km long.The first route is to take Highway 3, the Bangna - Trat road.There is a quicker elevated tollway running above Highway 3.Continue until the Chonburi Bypass and here turn off onto Highway 344.Follow this road past Ban Bung and when you reach the Klaeng Crossroads turn back on to Highway 3 and continue on towards Trat.

Alternatively you can leave Bangkok on the Motorway that is a continuation of the Rama IX, Srinakarin road. This road goes onwards and meets highway 344 where you can continue to Trat as detailed above.

To avoid Trat and go directly to the ferry departure points turn right onto the well sign posted Laem Ngop road about 20 km outside Trat.

There are 2 piers (Thammachat and Centre Point Ferry) where you can take a passenger and car ferry to Koh Chang.Both are safe and run yearly.The time varies from 30 - 45 minutes.They both run hourly or more often during the peak season.
