How do I get to Koh Chang?
Busses run daily from Bangkok to Trat and even to the ferry. Most busses will take you there in a 4-5 hour journey. Taxi services from the Trat bus terminal will bring you to the ferry. If you should come in by plane and you are on the last plane, you do not need to worry; ferries will wait until you arrive from the airport. Minibusses provide the transport between the airport and the ferry.

What is the weather like at different times of the year?

The "hot season" is from April and May, when temperatures reach their highest.
