I have been to Koh Chang by car many times already, but I am thinking about taking my bike instead on my next trip ????
1. I am an "experienced Pattaya city rider". But is this kind of trip actually doable/advisable on a 150cc scooter? Has anybody here attempted this already?
2. Would I need "special clothing" or would be jeans, long arm shirt, and gloves sufficient? Would be a ¾ helmet with visor ok?
3. I noticed that Trat often had rain when I drove through (even though Koh Chang was dry). Would be a "25 baht 7-11 rain coat" enough to get by in case of rain? I would obviously try to do this kind of trip in the dry season.
4. I guess the trip would take significantly more time than by car. Maybe one hour more? But at the ferry pier ... do bikes actually have (significantly) less waiting time than cars normally?
Any other thoughts?

Just brainstorming ????
