Get in

From Bangkok

Take one of the many regular buses to Trat from either the Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai) or the Northern Bus Terminal (Moh Chit). Direct 1st class buses from Ekamai average a bit more than 5 hours, the less frequent frequent services from Moh Chit take a little less. 2nd class buses take a lot longer as they make more stops and use slower and less direct routes.

From Trat, take a minibus direct to the Hat Lek border crossing, where you can cross into Cambodia and take a moto or share taxi to Koh Kong and organize the next part of your trip.
