210 min · On demand · 24 hours

💡 Book a fixed-rate taxi at the airport taxi counter on Level 1 (Arrivals). Metered taxis are cheaper but drivers often refuse longer trips. Negotiate hard for returns: local drivers near Iyara will do 1500-1600 THB.

🚕
Songthaew (local pickup truck) 20 THB

Chanthaburi town centre → Iyara Resort

15 min · Every 5-10 minutes · 06:00 - 19:00

💡 Shared passenger trucks run fixed routes. Look for the white-and-red ones heading south on Tha Charoen Road. Wave them down anywhere. Tell the driver 'Iyara' – they know it. No fixed stops, just tap the roof to get off.

🚌
Government bus from Bangkok 200 THB

Ekkamai Bus Terminal (Bangkok) → Chanthaburi Bus Station

240 min · Every 30-60 minutes · 04:00 - 21:00

💡 Get off at the main bus station, then take a public songthaew (20 THB) or a motorbike taxi (60 THB) to Iyara Resort. Do not take the minibus – it's overpriced and cramped.

210 min · Every 1-2 hours · 07:00 - 18:00
