Flying to Trat Airport

With three daily flights from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, getting to Koh Chang has never been easier. Flights depart at 08.30, 11.40 and 17.05 and take exactly 1 hour. Bangkok Airways operate the flights and tickets can be booked via their website ( https://www.bangkokair.com/ ).

The daily flights land at https://www.bangkokair.com/, which is located on the mainland and around 30 minutes from the ferry terminals. After disembarking at Trat airport you can hop on a minibus and get a direct transfer to your accommodation on Koh Chang. Expect to pay 500 Baht, which will also include your ferry crossing or 900 Baht for a return ticket.

The ferry and flight schedules are designed to coincide with each other. You can catch the last flight, PG307, leaving from Bangkok at 17.00 and have time to make the last ferry crossing to Koh Chang. This also works the opposite way, you can leave the island early enough to catch the first flight of the day back to Bangkok.

Bangkok Airways run a minibus service for their passengers.  This ensures that passengers are guaranteed to get to Koh Chang easily.  And have no stress worrying about getting to the airport in time for their return flight. Minibus tickets can be bought at Trat Airport or in advance online – which will save you money.
