Ko Samui to Ko Chang
 

Could anyone help me here...trying to get to ko chang from samui...it seems theres a trat airport but does not show up on the map..if there is such airport how far from ko chang is it and time driving getting to and from....any help out there????Thank you Steve-OOO

The vonly flight I found is Samui to u-tapao in Pattaya...How long of a trip by car is the airport in Pattaya to Ko Chang????

We just got back from koh chang!!!! it was aewsome! we flew on bangkok air from bkk to trat, then got on a mini bus, then got on a ferry, then on a mini bus again after we got to koh chang, and finally ended up at our bungalow!!!!!! right now the only flight into trat is the bangkok air twice daily flight from bkk. thats what the pilot told us in koh chang( he was also our dive master) anyway hope that helps. jeffrey

hey travelduo....where did you stay and how was the diving...what was the name of the dive operator

From Samui you can fly in 1 hr to Pattaya (U-Tapao) and then down to Trat and Koh Chang. If you are on a budget might be best to o/night in Pattaya and then you will be able to find the operators that run the mini-wans/buses along the coast to get you to Koh Chang, if you are not on a budget then get in touch with "Image Cars" of Pattaya and they will meet you off the Samui flight and drive you to the ferry point for Koh Chang, should be a couple of hours.
Otherwise fly Bangkok Airways Samui-Bangkok-Trat

We stayed at Barali Resort and it was just about perfect! We dove with The Wing dive center, the guy that owns it is also a pilot for Bangkok Air, and him and his wife both speak perfect english! We were there during the full moon so the current was very strong anf the vis wasnt that great, but there was some cool fish that we normally dont see here in the carribean and bahamas. most of the coral was bleached out. maybe my outlook on the diving was jaded because we had just got back from Belize 2 weeks before we dove in koh chang.
