Matt74m Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hi all, I'm trying to book a tourist bus from Pattaya to Koh Chang on a Tuesday in October. What appears to be a decent operator does not travel on that day of the week and the operator listed on 12go.asia says it does, but seems to be unreliable. Does anyone have any tips for booking, such as a good physical travel agent based in Pattaya that I can e-mail to book then pay locally a couple of days before travel? I'm on a tight schedule so don't want to risk having to stay an additional day. Really appreciate any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) There used to be a specialist agent on Soi Post Office for Koh Chang excursions.... minibus, ferry and hotel booking all done. But I always preferred to do things in person, email doesn't seem to work well. Edited August 29, 2022 by jacko45k 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongkitlo Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 There is minivan service to Chantaburi behind Numchai on Sukumvit rd near Soi Siam Country Club. Leaces 10am each morning. From Chantaburi plenty of options for KC. The vans had a bad reputation years ago but these days seem a lot safer with the drivers laying off the yabba. For a big bus I would try Boonsiri ferry company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
