I'm thinking about taking the drive over to Koh Chang from Pattaya on the 5th January and staying 3 or 4 nights.

What is the situation with the car ferry...do I book or just get in line?

Are there frequent transfers and more importantly will I definately be able to get off the island in a timely manner with my car during peak season?

I'm guessing that as New year will have long gone I should get no troubles but I cannot afford to be held up for a day too long due to traffic volumes...I have a flight to catch!

Any first hand knowlege would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

I have been to Koh Chang many times and have never booked in advance, I'm not even sure that you can. Never a problem, at most have had to wait 30 minutes in either direction. I always use the Koh Chang Ferry, rather than Centrepoint, its closer and I remember reading somewhere that its more frequent.

Used center point many times, you dont book in advance, just turn up and get in the queue, only time I ever remember traffic problems was one Songkran years ago, 30 minute turn around is about the norm as well at ceter point

The ferries usually depart in 60 minute intervals between dawn and dusk, crossing takes 50-75 minutes, depending which ferry you take.
