4) Driving On & Pier Facilities
How to board with a car

- 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}
