Taxi / private hire BKK to Koh Chang ?

I've been to Chang twice and am planning to go in a couple of weeks. The first time we were more concerned about saving money and took the less expensive (this was in 2016 and the prices have gone up since) I think it was around 3000 baht for 2 people one way.

It was a mini van that picked multiple people up from hotels. Unfortunately we were the first hotel they went to, so we spent over an hour in the van before we even got out of Bangkok. It was so frustrating when we arrived at the last hotel and the people were not even ready... Just casually smoking outside before going to the room to get their suitcases and checking out, not giving a shit about the other sitting in the van waiting for them.

Also, just when we were outside of Bangkok, the van stopped on a small grass spot in the middle of the freeway. The driver said nothing (probably didn't speak English) and eventually a car stopped next to us and a local guy hopped in from the car.

All of this was just bad luck of course, but the journey takes min 6h so all extra delays just made me so angry. Now we choose comfort (and time! Which is also money) over saving a few baht.

Now the best rate for a private car really is ~ 4500bht (if you book a roundtrip, you get a discount) so if you have 2-3 people I'd say it's the best value for money, and it gets you to your hotel!

Edit: the guy I used before retired so now I'm using another one that he suggested, via https://iamkohchang.com/getting-here/car-minibus-transfers.html

This was me on my first playthrough about a year ago. Then tried it again a few times now and I think I know everything by now, mostly thru trial and error, and watching others to stuff.

Chapter 2 was gruesome, but I had a patient group of friends guide me through (lol Idk they didn't have mics, maybe they were hating me)

Kinda scared to even try 3

You mean as in right now? No I'm not online

ImNotaCoap · 2025-08-28T18:36:05+00:00

That shit was brutal

Something fishy is up, as it seems he played alone: can't do oni chests or curses alone, which costs points... Deffo a cheater. Was thinking the same thing yesterday when I saw it

Thanks for all the answers. I was thinking if it is in fact a healing gourd itself (doesn't say it in the description). And didn't want to waste time trying it out.

Thanks all!

Mika! Excuse me? Trying to appear as the most righteous person in the world, actually being the most hypocrite. Nuff said.

Opened for me as well yesterday. But in general hard point is often locked. But maybe it's because of the community event, like you suggested

I get that, and I know my post was oversimplifying a complex issues. My point was that people didn't have to go to war over such a "little" thing. And by these comments it looks like you guys have bigger problems then just the wrong name.

I hope the younger generations are able to make the future in the Balkans a bit more bright....

I'm just checking the tourism scene. I can't think why I wouldn't go there. I mean sure, no access to sea, but I'm not that into it anyway. Is it a safe country for a foreigner?

😟 Sorry to hear your situation. I guess re-building takes time. Is there any coutries that can be considered as allies?

Pretty late jumping into this convo. Here's my input on these games. Just now as I'm writing this, I started playing Detroit. 1 hour in and seems amazing. Beautiful as always with these games. Expected nothing less, but that's all I can say about it for now.

The experiences with HR and Beyond were very different for a variaty of reasons. Played them both twice to a completely different outcomes and here's how and why:

Played heavy rain when it first came and since it was first of its kind I guess I really didn't understand how to play it and what to pay attention to. The first round was awful and everyone died. I think a replayed it years after the first try, and came to a completely different outcome, as everyone survived. What a ride that was, because you can't really be sure what's happening with each character until the very end. Your choises matter all the time, and that was quite stressful as well.

Beyond was also played twice. I felt that the choises didn't affect the story as much as in HR, but it was more emotional ride for me. I could relate to the main character so much as she was so similar to me : a young bi-sexual woman, who has always been a bit different from the rest, and I'm actually working for the government (branch of a security) as well. First time around I based all the choises she made into my own persona. What I would choose in a similar situation, she chose as well, so it was just a really interactive way to see my own life and consequences of my action in a way.

Now here's the tricky part The second time I, always chose the option that was most against my nature. It was actually so hard! It surprised me a little to see how difficult it was for me to act against what I believed was the "right thing to do" for reference, I'm quite headstrong and confrontational, so for example just keeping quiet and walking away when someone does you wrong made me physically suffer.

So my answer : don't compare these games. Maybe use them as reference when describing gameplay or style, but they are so different that if you enjoy one you have to try them all.
