zz.fugazi Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'm considering riding my motorcycle from BKK to Ko Sichang next week. It might be fun to buzz around the island on a motorbike. I have been unable to find any information on the web regarding public motorcycle or vehicle ferries between the mainland and Ko Sichang. Does anyone know whether such a ferry exists, and, if so, where to catch it? ZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zz.fugazi Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 hello take a look all information where you catch the ferry leave http://www.ko-sichang.com/SirachaTown.html Thank you. Unfortunately, there's no information on that page indicating that motorcycles can be taken aboard. If all the ferries look like this: http://eng.folktravel.com/wp-content/uploa...06/sichang1.jpg and this: http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1474108480078613194TViiwf then I'd guess they accommodate foot traffic only.

apananth Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 the piers in Koh si chang are not designed for ferries that can transport vehicles. These ferries are small country boats that transfer passengers. A day trip with the local tuk-tuks is more than enough to cover the whole island in a day.

smint Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) I know you can hire motorbikes there, for a low fee. As for bringing your motorbike over, I saw a local Thai bringing his motorbike up from a boat/ferry (can't remember) and loaded it up his own pickup truck in Ko Si Chang so maybe it's possible - but he is a Thai so maybe he owns the boat and all, but if you have money nothing is impossible here. Ferry is 30B if I'm not wrong and departs everytwo hours. Still have the brochure in my house so it says - 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm. And leave the island before 6pm, think it's the last ferry back to mainland. And during peak hours there are the larger ferries with aircon. (Saturdays 10am) Otherwise it's the smaller ferry/boat w/o aircon. Let me know if you need more info, just been there few months back though..

nam-thip Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) I rode my Kawasaki Boss from Pattaya to Koh Chang a few years ago and it took me around five hours to the ferry point. I could have cut the traveling time as i was misinformed about the distance from Pats to Koh Chang so i took my time. I stuck it on the ferry for a small charge and rode around the island for four days. The roads on the island are not for the faint hearted with a nasty hair-pin bend as you drop down into White sands bay after leaving the ferry. Head for the Thammachat-Pier to Ko-Chang-Ferry-Pier Web-link for ferry info: http://www.ko-chang.info Car and motorcycle ferries From Center-Point-Pier to Dan-Kao-Pier Daily 7.00, 9.00, 11.00, 13.00, 15.00 and 17.00.
