Express Bus from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport direct to the tropical Koh Chang island.
Started on the 1st of December 2009: a direct VIP bus connection from the international airport in Bangkok to the tropical island of Koh chang (เกาะช้าง).
The most comfortable way for affordable travel between Koh Chang and Bangkok airport: the brand new Suvarnabhumi airport <-> Koh Chang Express bus number 392, aka the Suvarnabhumi Burapha Bus service. This air conditioned VIP coach, with it's beach, sea and sun destination, will depart from Bangkok Airport and Koh Chang island every day for an as good as non-stop journey, following below listed time tables. The Koh Chang - Chantaburi - Trat - Suvarnabhumi Airport bus will only pick up passengers from the bus stations in Chantaburi and Trat, without making an actual stop at either of these bus terminals.
Because this bus line is brand new, the number of departure times will initially be limited, but we expect a second delivery of brand new Scandia buses in 2011, at which time we will expand our travel frequency significantly.
Our VIP airport bus # 392 is the only full sized coach that can take up to 40 passengers all the way to the island of Koh Chang in the eastern part of Thailand, practically non-stop from Suvarnabhumi Airport near Bangkok. Other government and private bus operators, that usually start from a bus station in Bangkok, will only make a quick stop at Suvarnabhumi Airport's bus terminal and even stop a few times along the route for lunch and dropping off passengers at many locations, before unloading all passengers that are heading to Koh Chang, as well as their luggage, at the beginning of the pier in Laem Ngop on the mainland. From there those passengers are on their own to get all of their luggage to and from the ferries and up and down their small steep stairs and squeezing into the hot song teaw shared taxi's that have been waiting at the pier for more than an hour. Not so for our passengers: any Suvarnabhumi Burapha air conditioned first class VIP Bus will get onto the ferry with both passengers and luggage on board and unload in an comfortable area away from the hot ferry grounds.
