GETTING THERE
To reach the Koh Chang Marine National Park you need to
travel eastbound to Trat, the easternmost province in the
Gulf of Thailand that borders Cambodia. This is the Jumping-off
point to the Islands.
FROM BANGKOK TO TRAT
Trat is accessible by three main routes from Bangkok. Traveling
time is about 4 hours. For convenience and better road surface
use the elevated Bangkok-Chonburi Tollway until its final
exit or the Bangkok-Chonburi Motorway and exit for Ban Bung-
Klaeng - Chantaburi-Trat. Distance:315 Kilometers
BY PRIVATE CAR
ROUTE1 : Bangna-Chonburi-Ban
Bung-Klaeng-Chantaburi-Trat.Distance:315 Kilometers This
is the more preferred route with the following details:
(a) take highway No.3(Bangna-Trat-Road)
until you reach the Chonburi by-pass.You can either take
the normal road or the new elevated Bangkok-Chonburi Tollway,
which is right above it. Toll fee is 55 Baht
(b) Exit from the main road, head to the left and follow
the Chonburi by-pass that reads Pattaya-Rayong.
(c) Head for Rayong until You see the Ban Bung-Klaeng- Chantaburi
and the Bang Saen- Pattaya signboards.
(d) Take the Ban Bung-Klaeng- Chantaburi routes on your
left . You areNow on highway no.344
(e)Take the right route at Ban Bung-Klaeng junction and
head for Klaeng only until you reach the Chantaburi- Rayong
junction.Turn left to Chantaburi but do not enter the town
which is on Your right. This is again highway No.3 instead
go forward untilReach the Sa Kaew-Trat junction
(f) ke the right turn to the town of Trat .
(g) Altermatively , you can head directly to the three piers
without passing through Trat town. Look for the signboard
Laem Ngop at the Laem Ngop- Trat junction . Notice there
is a PTT petrol station on your left just after a police
checkpoint followed by another PTT station exactly one kilometer
away. This is the Laem Ngop-Trat junction. Turn right to
Laem Ngop. This is Highway no.3156 (Laem Ngop- San Tung
Road). You will reach Ao Thammachat followed by Centre Point
and Kromaluang Chumporn piers.
ROUTE 2 : (Motorway
Route) : Rama IX or Srinakarin-Ban Ban Bung- Klaeng- Chantaburi-Trat.
The Motorway is another alternative. Starting from Rama
IX or Srinakarin road exit after paying the second toll
that leads to Ban Bung , Klaeng , Chantaburi and finally
Trat. The total toll free is 60 Baht.
ROUTE 3 : Bangna
- Chonburi- Rayong- Chantaburi-Trat
DISTANCE : 385 KILOMETERS
This is the other route using the same highway no.3 but
can take longer as you need to pass through the provinces
of Chantaburi and Rayong.
