The route

The Koh Chang to Koh Samet transfer is the reverse private drive of roughly 140 km, from the island back along the eastern seaboard to the Rayong pier town of Ban Phe — the mainland gateway for Koh Samet — with the car-ferry crossing included in the fixed price. Your driver collects you at your Koh Chang hotel, coordinates the ferry back to the mainland and takes you on to Ban Phe, where you catch the short passenger boat across to Koh Samet.

Reviews from real travellers

4.7/5 from genuine traveller reviews

  • We came back from Koh Chang today. Everything was organised perfectly, and well in advance — we booked our tickets back in August. They reserved a good hotel at a reasonable price, arranged a private transfer both ways, and booked a hotel near Bangkok airport for our last night. Everything was absolutely precise, honest and high quality — you couldn’t plan it any better. Of course we couldn’t skip the elephant bathing again (our 5th time on Koh Chang). The full-day car tour around the island was a highlight — even places we already knew came alive with new information, and we discovered a couple of brand-new spots. This company is a model of reliability and precision, and you can trust it completely. If we’re lucky we’ll come back to them next trip.

  • I came to this company for help booking hotels and transfers, holidaying on Koh Chang and Koh Kood. They helped me book the hotels I’d chosen through Agoda — I sent the money and they paid the hotels in baht, which was very convenient. I ordered three transfers: Pattaya–Koh Chang, Koh Chang–Koh Kood and Koh Kood–Pattaya. All of them went without a hitch. I also took two tours — jungle trekking and a five-islands trip. I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!

  • We’re holidaying on Koh Chang as a family — two adults and children aged 16 and 7. We took the “swimming with elephants” tour. Everything went brilliantly, thank you so much! We washed the elephants and got a good soaking ourselves in the process.

  • Very happy with the team’s work — always glad to help and point you to the right contact, always ready to assist. We booked a transfer from Pattaya to Koh Chang. We ordered the car late in the evening, and early the next morning the driver was already waiting at the hotel. On the way he helped us find an ATM to withdraw cash. A very comfortable trip — I recommend them 100%.

    Natalie Pattaya → Koh Chang transfer

  • We’ve used this service for many years and this year was no exception. Our trip was complicated: a big family (8 people, including a 10-month-old baby), staying on different islands, with family members arriving and leaving at different times and from different cities. We were quite a handful, but the team handled it brilliantly. They booked hotels (Bangkok, Koh Chang, Koh Kood), eight transfer routes and car hire. Everything was on time, with no glitches, and they were always in touch and supported us with any question. Without them our holiday wouldn’t have been so wonderful.

  • A deep bow and huge thanks to the whole team! A couple of weeks ago we came back from Thailand happy, tanned and cheerful, and all of it thanks to their smooth work. The transfer and all the excursions were organised precisely, flawlessly and punctually. 10 out of 10 — professionals at the highest level. We’ll definitely come back, and only to you!

  • A big hello and a deep bow to the team! A couple of weeks ago our family came back from Koh Chang — tanned, cheerful and happy, with a mass of unforgettable memories, all thanks to precise, flawless, Swiss-watch work. Everything, including the transfer and all the excursions, was done to the highest standard. 10 out of 10! Thanks to you our holiday was magical. We’ll definitely be back.

  • My thanks to the company’s staff — you do everything professionally. They booked hotels in Bangkok and on Koh Chang and arranged the transfers. Everything was first-class. Prosperity and success to you in everything!

  • Thank you for the beautifully organised transfers for my parents, who don’t speak any foreign languages and were in Bangkok for the first time. The 5-hour journey flew by for them — the driver suggested making two stops himself. I’ll definitely use them again and recommend them to friends.

  • We’re deeply grateful for the support and help in organising our trip. The transfer was beyond praise — everything was arranged clearly and smoothly, with detailed instructions provided. With best wishes.

Questions travellers ask
Can you drop me for the Koh Samet boat?
Yes — we drop you right at the Ban Phe pier area where the Koh Samet passenger boats leave, or at any Ban Phe address you prefer.
Is the car ferry included?
Yes. The Koh Chang vehicle-ferry ticket is included in the quoted price — you stay in the car for the short crossing.
Which vehicle should I choose?
A Sedan seats up to 3 passengers (3,400 ฿), an SUV up to 4 (3,900 ฿), a Minivan up to 6 (4,800 ฿) and a Minibus up to 10 (5,300 ฿). Tell us your group size and bags and we’ll confirm the right fit.
Do I pay anything in advance?
No. You pay the driver on the day. There is no deposit and no card needed to reserve.
What are the Koh Chang ferry hours — and what if we arrive after the last ferry?
⛴ The Koh Chang car ferry runs roughly 06:00–18:30 (the ticket desk closes around 18:00 and the last ferry leaves about 18:30). Your ferry ticket is included and we coordinate the timing — just plan your pickup so we reach the pier before the last crossing. If your flight or schedule means arriving after the ferry has stopped for the night, we can arrange a private wooden boat across for 4,000 ฿ — so a late arrival never leaves you stranded on the mainland.
How do I book a transfer?
Send your date, time, route, number of passengers and luggage by WhatsApp or email. We reply with a written confirmation naming your driver — usually within a couple of hours.
Which payment methods do you accept?
You pay the driver directly on the day, in cash (Thai baht preferred). No card details, deposit or prepayment are needed to reserve.
Can you provide a child or baby seat?
Yes. Baby and booster seats are available on request for a small add-on per seat — just tell us your children’s ages when you book. Child seats aren’t required by Thai law, so it’s entirely your choice; we’re glad to fit them if you’d like the extra peace of mind.
How much luggage can I bring?
Each vehicle class has a luggage limit tied to its passenger count. Tell us your bag count when booking and we assign the right vehicle — a sedan suits a couple with standard cases; larger groups take an SUV, minivan or minibus.
Will I get the exact vehicle model I booked?
You always get at least the class you booked — and sometimes better. When it suits our schedule we may send a larger or higher-class vehicle (for example a minivan or minibus in place of a sedan) at no extra charge and without prior notice. You are never downgraded, and the price never changes.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; within 24 hours a 20% fee applies, because by then your driver has set the day aside and turned down other work. In all honesty this runs on trust — nothing is prepaid, so the fee is a matter of good faith, not something we chase. If a driver has held the day for you, we simply ask that you do right by them. Delays or emergencies beyond your control are always penalty-free — just message us as early as you can. A no-show — no one at the pickup and no word from you — is charged 100% of the fare.
Do the drivers speak English?
Our drivers handle the essentials in English, and our booking team communicates fully in English, French and German before and during your trip.
Is the price per vehicle or per person?
The quoted price is per vehicle, not per person — the whole car is yours. It already includes tolls and, on island routes, the vehicle-ferry ticket.
