The bus is scheduled to depart at 07:45 but several tourists turned up around that time trying to buy tickets! What were they thinking? It was a big pity that the bus was not full otherwise I would really enjoy to see some very disappointed faces.
Anyway, the bus eventually departed at 08:05 and made only one 15 mins stop for everyone to stretch their legs or buying some snacks. There is on board toilet so the stop was not necessary.
Ferry fare is B80.00 but combined ticket to the resort is also available.
I bought the ferry ticket only and the fare for the songthew in Koh Chang pier is a bit complicated. There is a big board with fare to those beaches on the Weat coast, East coast is completely different story. However, the fare for the West coast is based on the songthew departing with minimum of 10 passengers(clearly written in Thai and English). Tough luck if you do not understand either language. Passengers has the choice either to wait or pay extra. Six of us on board decided to pay the extra. So instead of paying B100.00 to Lonely Beach, the fare has increased to B150.00. B1,000.00 is the base fare.
Three persons wanted to go somewhere in the East coast and they have to charter a whole van for B1,000.00.
Diving tomorrow.
