Hello travel peeps,

I'm due to arrive in Suvanabhumi Airport at around 18.00 in early November and want to head straight to trat and then ko chang. Whats the best way to get there without too much hastle and avoiding central bangkok? (I do like Bangkok but prefer to avoid cities after 16 hour flights)

I've found a few options but I'm unsure if they are still in operation and if they are the easiest way.

From what I can gather the last bus from the airport bus station to trat is 18.30ish. Ive also noticed on a post (from 2007) that there is a bus from Suvanabhumi Airport to chanthaburi until 23.30 from which I could possibly get another bus on to trat.

I think there is also a bus from Ekamai bus station until 23.30 which takes 5 hours but Im unsure of how to get there from the airport...

Any info would be good, and also if anyone knows of reliable websites for bus times that would also be v useful.

Thanks again and happy travels!
