4) Driving On & Pier Facilities

How to board with a car

  • Follow signs to weigh/pay → queue in the vehicle lane → drive aboard as directed by staff.
  • Handbrake on, P/low gear, engine off during the crossing.
  • Passengers can use the cabin/deck seating upstairs.

Facilities at the piers

  • Restrooms, snack shops/mini-marts, and parking at both sides. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
  • If you don’t take your car, you can park on the mainland (daily fee) and cross on foot.

5) Real-World Tips

  • Avoid peak holidays/weekends: queues can be long even with extra boats—arrive early or travel on weekdays. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
  • Bring cash: car-ferry booths take cash only; ATMs exist but don’t rely on them. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
  • Island transfers: songthaew (shared pickup taxis) wait at Ao Sapparot for all main beaches.
  • No car? Use the Bus + Ferry package (single ticket) direct to your hotel area—popular with first-timers.

❓ FAQ

Is there a later boat after 18:30?

Typically the last departures are around 18:30. On exceptionally busy days, operators may extend runs to clear queues, but do not rely on this—plan to reach Ao Thammachat well before the last regular boat. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Which mainland pier is closest to Trat town?

Centerpoint (Laem Ngop) is nearer to Trat town, but its services are currently suspended. For now, use Ao Thammachat → Ao Sapparot operated by Ferry Koh Chang. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Do I need to book ahead?

No—there’s no online/advance booking for the car ferries; buy at the pier with cash. Foot passengers almost always make the next boat. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
