Departure from Pattaya was fine and bus was comfortable and some snacks given. Not sure why we had to change buses onto another one that was not so comfortable and lots of couples had to sit separately as the bus was already pretty full with others.
Once we got to the ferry port there was no communication on where to go or what was next, luckily we found someone to ask and was directed to office to get ferry tickets.
After what seemed a pointless 45 min wait the group getting the same ferry was all be shouted at to hurry and run to get the ferry, also note the ferry is NOT suitcase friendly.
Once on the other side you're greeted with multiple songthaews and lots of shouting.
On booking this as it was combined bus, ferry, taxi this was definitely the most chaotic travel day in 10 months of travelling.

I’ve made the journey through multiple provider’s over the years and this Ewa by far the worst logistical experience I’ve had, pick up wa on time at 7,30 from our hotel in pratumnak Pattaya, we then had to drive to north pattaya, wut at some office until 8,40 then reboard, drive north to chon Buri to let up with another bus that was obviously coming from bangkok,,, so really we only started the journey at 10am, then drive to the pier to koh chang, wait 30 minute when we arrive, walk onto the ferry, and get one of the local truck taxis on the other side,
What happened to a van pickup direct to the ferry, drive on and drop off to hotel in the same vehicle!??
they weren't able to transfer me to my hotel because it was too far away and then he got me out of the bus and brought me to an expensive tourist taxi that cost me another 200 baht for a 5 minute drive
In pictures you said there will be high speed catamaran. Nope. Normal ferry. Don't put fancy pictures to your app if it is something else. I think it is Boonsiri company to blame. I don't know.

Just the food included wasn't that great as there's so many yummy things in Thailand I don't get the egg sandwich with two raw sausages ?!?

It went OK the travel from Pattaya to Koh Chang, but they should have a little more organized. You don't get any info during the travel so the costumers can get a little confused (bus driver doesn't speak much English) . Like we needed to change bus after 1 hour drive, to another bus full of people that comes from Bangkok. When we arrived to the pier it was no info, so after some some time a woman was calling us from the office for show the booking again and get some lunch, that's all, after some time a guy went out giving the passes for the ferry(don't understand why they don't give us that before when they checked our booking) because some people was waiting in others areas or bathrooms so when they went for law in the ferry they didn't have the tickets for go inside, so they needed to wait until the guy come with more tickets.

Spacious bus and everything hassle free and on time . Worth the small premium to the minibus options
