So we went for option 3: bus + ferry + songthaew. It was a fraction of the cost and Thai buses are very good. We thought it would be more of an adventure. For the first part, the journey was fine. We turned up at Ekamai Bus Terminal in Bangkok at 9.20 and got tickets for the 9.45 bus no problem. The bus made good time and we got to the pier just in time to take the next ferry without waiting (last year we waited ages in the baking sun for the next ferry). The sky was overcast and the weather relatively cool. The ferry was smooth and uneventful. All good.

| A Koh Chang ferry |
We arrived safely on Koh Chang, squeezed into a songthaew with about 9 other people and then the heavens opened... I mean really opened. It was a full-on tropical rainstorm. The kind of rain that turns roads into muddy rivers in minutes. Koh Chang is hilly so this was an interesting ride. We didn't care about getting a bit wet as it was warm rain, but we were a bit concerned about our bags on the roof.....
