Transfers from Suvarnabhumi Airport near Bangkok or downtown Bangkok?
The Siam Beach Mini-bus services
Due to popular demand the Siam Beach Resort maintains a set of brand new Nissan Urvan 3.0Di GX minibuses. These minibuses can seat 9 people, but for rides that last > 1 hours, we recommend a maximum of 6 persons to be transported at once.
In previous years, many of our guest indicated that a 12 hour flight plus a few extra hours for check in and check out on either side was more than enough to experience in a single day and that they would, much rather, like to rest in the back of a comfortable & properly air conditioned, spacious minibus then sit like sardines in a can on a public bus, shared minibus, minivan or regular limousine / taxi, which in it's turn still beats spending a few more hours at the airport, waiting for a domestic flight to finally depart.
Working with third party transporters turned out to be a bit of a headache, as some of them refused to get on the ferry and deliver our guests all the way to our doorstep, while others would turn up an hour late or had forgotten to bring welcoming name signs and / or their mobile phones. Fortunately there have never been reports of any major accidents or theft of personal belongings like we sometimes hear when our guests discuss the well known Kao Sarn mini-bus services. However, we felt that our guests deserve a guaranteed safe trip during which they need not worry about anything besides the when and where they would like to make toilet and other stops, if any at all.
This is when we decided to start our own Lonely Beach minibus service and place the care of our sleeping or relaxing guests in the very capable hand of our very friendly driver: Mr. Sarod (aka Mai). Don't let first impressions fool you: Mr. Sarod is one of the most attentive and friendly persons we had the pleasure of working with and he has been working with our resort and it's owner for over a decade. Mr. Sarod does not drink and doesn't mind waking up early which, combined with him never being late or hardly ever getting sick, makes him the perfect pick up partner for all trips to the Siam Resorts.
It wasn't long when one minibus wasn't enough to cover all the back and forth's to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport plus the short trips around the island and the region, so we were happy to be forced to buy yet another minibus to aid Mr. Mai whom, at the time, reportedly spend more nights sleeping in the minibus then at home in his Siam Hut bungalow. To drive this new minibus we called in the help of Mr. Wat whom was our most experienced private chauffeur for the Siam Beach Resort management for quite a while.
Together these two men probably make up the most dedicated team of drivers on the island of Koh Chang, so if you are in need of a safe and quick journey, please don't hesitate to contact us at any time.

Just the Two of You?
Then you may also want to consider the slightly cheaper, but a bit more luxurious Bangkok city and Bangkok Airport limousines. The so-called limousines are actually just nicer Toyota Camry's, but the larger seats and more comfortable cushions may make your journey even more pleasant.
