Last verified: April 2026
Koh Chang is Thailand's second-largest island, located near the Cambodian border in the eastern Gulf. Getting there from Bangkok involves a bus or minivan to Trat, then a short ferry crossing.
Our recommendation
Bus from Ekkamai or Mo Chit + ferry is the standard route. Minivans are faster but less comfortable. Flying to Trat Airport is possible but expensive.
