We were in Koh Chang, booked a tour of their 5 islands. Did you specify in advance that 850 baht is all you need to pay per person, or will there be additional payments? They said they wouldn't have to pay anything else. But at the pier, we were charged another 200 baht each. I had to pay, otherwise they wouldn't have put me on the yacht. As a result, after the showdown, the money was returned to us, but the mood was spoiled.
We visited Koh Chang for the first time before the pandemic. The most positive memories. Now here we are. The island came to life. The infrastructure is working, the beach is clean, restaurants/cafes/bars are functioning. The hotel is fine.
We traveled from Bangkok by car for five hours, so choose a more comfortable car. There is an airport nearby, but Bangkok-Trat tickets are above average. We are vacationing with a company, of course a comfortable bus is more profitable than an airplane.
