There is no designated flight to Thailand or Cambodia. You will need to arrive in Bangkok on the first day of the session (this means leaving the UK on the day before the session starts) and can check into the Sofitel Silom Hotel from 12pm. You should aim to arrive in Bangkok before 4pm, and can take a metered taxi to the Sofitel Silom for roughly £6.00, to join the rest of the group. Your return flight needs to leave Bangkok on the last day of the session. Flight options from the UK include Thai Air, Eva, Lufthansa, British Airways, Gulf Air, Quantas and Emirates.
Flights can be booked through The Flight Centre on 0113 243 4572, please ask for Sonya Bezboruah and tell her you are going on a Skyros holiday and she will offer you the best flight available.
Transfer to the Island
Skyros offers a transfer from Bangkok to Koh Chang for £175.00 which includes two nights shared accommodation at the 5-star Sofitel Silom on the first and last night of the holiday, and coach and ferry transport to and from Koh Chang. Optional excursions in Bangkok to the night markets, a Thai dance show and the Jim Thompson house are also available on this transfer.
Independent travel
You may prefer to make your own way to Koh Chang. You can do this in one of two ways:
Domestic flight and ferry: Fly from Bangkok to Trat. From there you can take a taxi that will take you on to the ferry to Koh Chang, and straight to the Aiyapura resort on the other side.
Bus and ferry: Take a bus from Bangkok Ekamai Eastern Bus Terminal to Trat. You will need to book your seat. The journey will take roughly 5 hours depending on traffic. From Trat take a taxi to Ao Thammachat Pier and take the public ferry to Koh Chang. On arrival take a local taxi to the Aiyapura resort.
