Je n'arrive pas à trouver sur internet un site me donnant des infos pour aller de l'aéroport de TRAT à KOH KOOD.
Je trouve des ferries ou bâteaux express du ponton Laem Sok pour Koh Kood, là, pas de souci.
Le souci est de venir de l'aéroport à Laem Sok.
Est ce qu'il y a des personnes qui ont fait ce trajet et pourraient elles me donner la marche à suivre.
Merci d'avance à tous.

Free shuttle service from Trad
To ensure that you won't be burdened with an extra charge from what you though to be a point of departure (Trat city), a free shuttle service to Laem Sok / Siriwhite speedboats by "Song Teaw" is available from the parking next to the police post opposite the Krung Thai Bank in the center of Trat city and from any hotel, guesthouse or resort in Trad City or on the route between Laem Sok and the city center, at 07:00 and 11:30.
Pick up from Trat's bus station is available at 04:00 - 04:30 (whenever the bus arrives) and at 11:30. Note that pick up locations need to be made known at least 24 hours in advance, but prefarable upon booking. Airport pick ups
Trat Airport. Pick ups from Trat Airport are not free, as the airport isn't actually located in or near Trat, but more towards the Koh Chang ferries. We offer 3 types of pickups from the airport. For larger families or people that enjoy the warm air: by Song Teaw (half open converted pick truck): 900 baht / way / car. For couples or singles that travel light: by Toyota Vios: 1100 baht / way / car For couples with one or two small children or that carry a lot of luggage: by Toyota Altis Limousine 1300 baht / way / car.By private minibus: please visit the Trat Airport private minibus websitetaxi simplement - sinon quelques minivan quand meme aussi
( mais la plupart vont surtout au quai des départs pour Koh Chang)
sachant que l'aéroport de trat est juste coté du départ des ferry pour koh chang ( donc pas du tout le même coté que LaemSok)
vous avez 60 km de route ( compter large 1h30 minimum)
faites vous bien préciser les horaires de ferry car peu de ferry milieu d'après-midi et rien le soir
en principe 2 ferry par jour de chaque compagnie ( le matin tot et l'autre vers 13-14h)
pour les ferry rapides, il n'y a que 3 compagnies Siriwhite , KK princess et KK express ) et a la bonne saison ils peuvent s’avérer complets - donc donner un coup de fil la veille de Bangkok peut s'averer utilie
préférez le speedboat ( plus cher mais plus rapide et direct ) qui va vous déposer directement au pied de votre hotel, sinon, il faut apres la traversée, compter encore le cout du taxi
Merci Lukmee,
Donc nous prendrons un taxi pour aller prendre le bâteau express.
Nous arrivons à l'aéroport de Trat à 9h30, je pense qu'en prenant un taxi aussitôt nous aurons le temps d'arriver pour prendre le bâteau à 12h30.
Je me suis renseignée pour le speedboat: kokkutexpress, je réserverai mes billets à l'avance par internet.
Encore merci pour vos conseils, est ce vous pourriez me dire le coût du taxi si vous avez eu l'occasion de le prendre.
Cordialement.
Diu29.
pour le transport les prix mentionnées dans mon mail ci-dessus ( 900 a 1200 THB) ne concernent que le transfert de l'aéroport jusqu'a Trat ( soit a peine la moitié de la distance pour laler jusqu'au quai
et donc le prix du taxi aeroport jusqu'au quai sera bien superieur
mais ensuite vous avez la navette gratuite a partir du centre ville
alors vous devriez tout simplement reserver votre billet si vous savez que vous utilisez LS Express
et du coup vous beneficiez de leur navette fiable et gratuite
( sinon le taxi va vous coter aussi cher que le ferry ! )
je connais bien le siriwhite et les speedboat direct quai du resort capt hook
pour le KK express je ne l'ai jamais utilisé mais sur leur site ils mentionnent '' free taxi''
par contre je ne sais pas comment vous pouvez les regler en ligne sur internet ( sauf faire un virement international bancaire qui va vous vouter de 20 a 40 euro par transaction ) ; à ma conaissance ils n'ont pas de reglementen ligne carte internationale ?

bonsoir,
Apres un sejour sur l'ile, je dois me rendre de koh kood à trat, debut janvier
Vos derniers post m'ont bien informé sur les differentes compagnies de bateaux, mais j'ai tout de meme un petit souci . En effet si je reserve un vol , depart à 17h pour bangkok, et que le bateau part de koh kood à 13 h, plus la distance de l'embarcadère de trat à l'aeroport, pensez vous que je pourrais attraper mon vol sans souci ou est il preferable que je passe la nuit à trat ?
merci
les choses changent
consultez le site de la ''bonne'' compagnie de ferry BOONSIRI pour Koh Kood retour sur
www.boonsiriferry.com/en/timetable/
vous verrez que les horaires sont depart KKood 12h00 arrivee Trat 13h50 ( il faudra voir a leur preciser Trat aeroport et non pas Trat bureau -)
et sachant que leurs horaires peuvent changer légèrement pour la prochaine saison -
ferry a reserver
leur systeme de billet combiné ferry + bus fonctionne tres bien et a l'avantage de vous emmener dans Bangkok ( a coté de KhaoSan rd) a moins que votre retour avion coincide avec une correspondance ?
On eu le siècle des Lumières,
puis un con a dû éteindre
Bonjour, merci pour votre réponse qui m'a bien informé. Je vais consulter ce site merci beaucoup.
Pour mon vol non je n'ai pas de correspondance mais préfère prendre l'avion que le bus c'est Plus rapide
🙂
J'avais peur , qu'entre le temps de trajet de la traversée et le temps d'aller à l'aéroport serait trop juste pour attraper mon vol à 17h
mais vu les horaires que vous m'annoncez avec boonSiri ça a l'air très bien
Merci beaucoup
au final l'avion n'est pas plus rapide si vous calculez le temps entre le depart hotel koh kood et l'arrivée hotel Bangkok !!
le bus de Boonsiri arrivant en plein centre de Bangkok (depart 12h koh kood - arrivée 20 h cnetre Bangkok )
en prenant le dernier vol Trat vers 18h dans tous les cas vosu devrez partir au plus tard vers 14 h de l'ile
( 45 mn de bateau et 1h de taxi quai aeroport + etre une heure d''avance a l'aeroport)

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip?
I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before:
- Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees.
Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands.
Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way).
Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan.
Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide).
Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre.
Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island.
Day 10 – Head to Semporna.
Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai.
Day 15 – Bohey Dulang.
Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous.
I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing.
I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture.
But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary.
If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai?
Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai.
My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok:
No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna:
From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄).
Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM.
Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau:
Found this via AI—is it legit?
No online booking, as far as I can tell.
Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly????
And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning
March 24: Phnom Penh
March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang

March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap
March 31: Siem Reap

April 2: Siem Reap
April 3: Siem Reap
April 4: Siem Reap

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
My partner and I are planning a trip to Indonesia in September-October 2026. It’ll be our first time in Asia, and we’re thinking of hitting the classic spots in East Java and Bali, then wrapping up with a cruise around Komodo for some snorkeling/diving. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.

22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen

06/10: Komodo cruise
07/10: Komodo cruise, flight to Denpasar in the late afternoon/evening or overnight in Labuan Bajo.
08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
09/10: 10:00 AM flight Denpasar - SIN, overnight in Singapore
10/10: Flight SIN-YQB
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing
July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao
August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide
August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena
August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands
August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts)
August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk
August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar
August 17: Rammang Rammang
August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
