Other destinations
To go
The best way to come to Koh Chang is to take a bus leaving from Kao San Road at Bangkok (one leaves every morning) Once you get off the ferry, however, you will be completely abandoned and you will have to find a way to get to a village. For this, some pick-ups will take you for 50 bath, or then depending on your arrival dock you can rent a scooter. However the roads are a roller coaster ride, it is advisable to be a rather seasoned driver of two wheels to hire one.
