Pattaya to Koh Chang- Safest way

[survivalblue]

I need to get to Koh Chang from Pattaya and it appears the new Sattahip ferry service is no operational, nor will it be any year soon.

Burapha https://www.buspattayakohchang.com appears like a decent way, but they don't seem to have their service fully operational and just is a front for the death van operations.   If the drivers are not kamikaze, I'm alright with it.  

I'm more than happy to spend the extra hour on a bigger bus (safer) and get off at Laem Ngop and take the songthaew into the ferry.  If the songthaew are still around.

It's been a number of years since I've done this sort of trip so I need some up to date info and the online info seems to be futuristic rather than present.

Seeking a way from Pattaya to Koh Chang, one way trip, comfortable and safe as can be inexpensive transport.
