Koh Chang Guide 2025 – 3 Days 2 Nights (Trip Review)

🗓 Updated: 14 Oct 2025 ⏱ Read time: 9–12 min Category: Trip Review • Koh Chang

Kai Bae Viewpoint at golden hour — a classic Koh Chang scene.

Goal of this trip: easy in, do a lot, stay on budget. We chose a bus + ferry (one ticket) with Boonsiri Ferry—morning departure from Bangkok and a smooth afternoon check-in on Koh Chang. Over 3 days we focused on beaches + waterfalls + snorkeling + cafés. It’s beginner-friendly and efficient.

Getting There & Timing

We left Khao San / Rama 9 around 08:00, reached Ao Thammachat ~13:30, and got to our hotel area around 14:30. The single-ticket setup kept things seamless.

Times can vary by season—always confirm the latest schedule before departure.

Pro Tips & Common Mistakes

  • Lock transport first: Align bus + ferry with hotel check-in/snorkel timetables.
  • Watch weather: Jun–Oct seas can be choppy—check forecasts before sea trips.
  • Ride safely: Mountainous roads—go slow, use low gear downhill, helmets on.
  • Be ocean-friendly: No coral stepping/feeding wildlife; switch to reef-safe sunscreen.
  • Reserve peak meals: Sunset beachfront tables sell out quickly.
