How long does it take to drive from Bangkok International Airport to Trat in Thailand at 6am?
Want to get to Ko Chang as soon as possible, but not pay silly money. Was thinking about driving but wasn't sure how long it would take.

Honestly I have taken the bus from BKK to Trat several times. It was about 5 hrs every time in the afternoon/late morning. Also in the mid day was about a little more. The Bus from Bkk was cheap enough. Now though there is a new airport which I believe is slightly close to that area than the old one. flying is only an hour so consider it.
By Car
From Bangkok, take Highway No. 34 (Bang Na-Trat) or Motorway to Chonburi, then use Highway No. 344 (Ban Bung-Klaeng) Arriving at Klaeng, turn onto Highway No. 3 and proceed to Trat. The total distance from Bangkok to Trat is 318 kilometers.
By Bus
Both air-conditioned and non air-conditioned buses depart from Bangkok's Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai) to Trat every hour from 6 a.m. to midnight. From Bangkok the buses to Trat cost 169 baht for 1st class air-conditioned buses (132 baht for 2nd class) and 197 baht for 24-seat VIP air-conditioned buses or 113 baht for regular buses. The trip takes five to six hours by air-conditioned bus or about eight hours by regular bus.

Several non air-conditioned buses leave daily, starting from 07.00a.m.-11.00p.m. Fare is 78B (Tel.02 391-2504). Air-conditioned buses leave every 1.30 hours, starting from 07.00a.m.-11.00p.m.. Fare is 140B (Tel. 02 391-4164).
From Chanthaburi to Trat, the regular bus takes about 30 minutes. If one goes by taxi from Chanthaburi to Trat, it takes around 45 minutes.
the petrol would cost a fortune, ur better off flying. it would take about 68hours driving. 1-2hours or less flying
it will be busy as that is rush hour
rush hour there is dreadfully , it may take you 2brs maybe more
they are terrible drivers , very frightening so be prepared
I recently went by Bus and it took almost 8 hours including the ferry from Trat to Koh Chang.
You can fly. There is an airport in Trat. I discovered this on my last vist it to Koh Chang. So, it seems that you can fly from BKK to Trat then take the ferry out to Koh Chang. I would check with the airport for more info in BKK. If you go by this route it should not take you more than 2 hours ( give or take depending on 'waiting time').
