Chai Chet Beach, Koh Chang
Chai Chet lies between White Sands and Klong Prao on the west coast of Koh Chang, and it is generally quieter than its northern neighbour. A taxi from Bangkok to a hotel here costs 3,899 THB for the whole car, and the car goes over on the ferry with you.

A beach between two others
People who book Chai Chet usually want a calmer evening than White Sands offers and still want the restaurants of White Sands a short ride away. Families with children and couples who do not plan late nights tend to look here.
Expect a small, relaxed beach. Read a recent review of your hotel before you book, because the feel of a beach changes from one hotel to the next.
Getting to Chai Chet by taxi
A private car brings you from Bangkok, an airport or Pattaya to the Ao Thammachat ferry, and the driver continues on the island road to your hotel. You do not change vehicles and you do not carry the luggage between a pier and a songthaew.
Put the hotel name in the order form together with the beach. The driver sees it on his phone and knows where to stop. The price list gives 5 h 16 min from Bangkok to Koh Chang, and the wait for the ferry and the crossing come on top.
Choosing the car and paying
For a couple the Standard Sedan at 3,899 THB is enough. A family of four with suitcases fits the Toyota Innova at 4,099 THB. From Don Mueang the Standard Sedan is 3,999 THB, from Suvarnabhumi 3,699 THB and from Pattaya 3,299 THB.
You pay the driver in cash, or by Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, transfer by QR code or bank transfer to a Thai account if you prefer. The ferry is not included in the price: plus ferry tickets, about 90 THB per person. From 24 December to 5 January 400 THB is added per car.
