Getting to Koh Kood has become much easier over the last couple of years but it does still require some forward planning.
The mainland departure point is Laem Sok Pier, located some 30km out from Trat, the nearest provincial town.
Your Options
- To reach the pier directly, your most stress-free choice is our private transfer direct from your Bangkok hotel or Suvarnabhumi Airport. We co-ordinate the collections with the boat times and can pick-up from plenty of other places too. A SUV car is 3,800bt to 4,000bt (north Bangkok, Bangkok Noi) , travel time 4.5 to 5 hours.
- Passenger boats (express, catamaran, mini catamaran and speedboat) run by 4 separate companies start at 10.00 (high season only), 10.45 and finish at 16.00. Prices are 350bt to 600bt. There are no car ferries.
- If you fly into Trat Airport on the lunchtime flight, PG305, arriving at 12.40 (25/3/23 to 28/10/23, summer timetable) or 13.40 (29/10/23 to 24/3/24, winter timetable), you can make the 14.20 (summer) or 14.40 (winter) Boonsiri or the 16.00 Seudamgo connection. The PG307 does not make any boat connections.
- A cheaper option is the bus/boat combinations at 1,100bt/1,000bt per person, with daily departures from the different boat companies at 05.00, 06.00 and 07.30 from the Khao San Road area. Or you could use public transport from Ekamai Bus Station to Trat City itself – the early morning departures or night bus (currently every day) are the ones to catch.
- Finally, you can island hop from Koh Chang, Koh Mak and Koh Wai using speedboats, a wooden boat or catamarans. Please note this service is not available in the rainy season, June to September.
- Once on Koh Kood, the best way to get about is renting a motorbike, 250bt to 350bt per day. Or you could also take an island tour – chat with us about setting one up for you.
