Koh Kood Transfers – Private Car or Minibus, Prices, Booking

Koh Kood transfers by either private car or private minibus are the most convenient way to get to Laem Sok Pier, the departure point for all mainland boats going to Koh Kood.

Collection is easily arranged from the main tourist areas in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport, Don Mueang Airport, Trat Airport, Pattaya, Ban Phe (Koh Samet), Koh Chang, the Cambodian borders and Cambodian cities.

From Bangkok, travel time is around 4.5 to 5 hours to Laem Sok with a couple of stops for diesel, snacks and toilet breaks along the way.


Guide prices are here but we do suggest you read the different sections too:-


Collection Times – Bangkok Hotels

Collection time from your hotel is up to you but we co-ordinate with the boat departures as follows:-

  • 04.45 for 10.00 Koh Kut Express Speedboat
  • 05.15 for 10.45 Boonsiri catamaran
  • 06.00 for 11.30 Koh Kut Express mini catamaran (via Koh Mak)
  • 06.30 for 12.00 Seudamgo mini catamaran (via Koh Mak)
  • 07.00 for 12.30 Koh Kood Princess slow boat
  • 07.30 for 13.30 Koh Kut Express slow boat
  • 08.30 for 14.20 Seudamgo mini catamaran
  • 08.30/09.00 for 14.40 Boonsiri
  • 10.30 for 16.00 Seudamgo mini catamaran

Of course, all transfers are available in the opposite direction, with the driver meeting you directly off your boat at the pier. For return boats, see the latest timetable here.


Collection Times – Bangkok Airports

If arriving into Suvarnbhumi Airport (BKK) on an international flight, your flight needs to land by 09.30 at the latest. Allowing a further 45 minutes at least to clear Immigration and baggage reclaim, we then have the driver on standby from 10.15 onwards. Domestic flights where you can proceed straight to the meeting point have a little more time.

For Don Mueang Airport (DMK) that International flight should land by 09.00 at the latest. Again,domestic flights give you some flexibility.

Meeting Points – Airports

Our driver meets you at Door 3 Level 2 at Suvarnabhumi or Door 5/6 Terminal 1 at Don Mueang. The meeting point for domestic arrivals at Don Mueang is Door 10/11 Terminal 2.


Transfers to Trat

For those not in a hurry or arriving too late into Suvarnabhumi Airport or DMK Airport to make the last boat at 16.00, we would suggest door to door Koh Kood transfers into Trat or to Laem Sok Pier.

In Trat, you can stay a night in one of the many guesthouses and then pick up the 40bt per person shuttle taxi offered by all the boat companies down to the pier on the following morning. If required, you need to confirm this service with your guesthouse on arrival. It’s about 45 minutes to the pier.

There is also one place to stay at Laem Sok Pier itself, Check and Chill.


Vehicles – Private Car or Minibus

For our private transfer car, we use an SUV style vehicle (Fortuner, Pajero, Innova, Miu-X, Suzuki 7). This is ideal for up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children. For larger groups, say 4 to 7 people, we use a Ventury or a Toyota Commuter private minibus.

All vehicles are fitted with seat belts.

Child Seats

We can supply a free child seat, with an additional one charged at 200bt extra.

If using 2 seats, we can use an SUV but space will be at a premium. If we use a minibus for 2 child seats as it affords much more room, please note only forward facing child seats are possible as the vehicle has only lap seatbelts.

I haven't used their services (yet). But i sure will. Dan is an amazing guy and extremely helpful. We had a call, i explained what exactly i wanted and he delivered a list of choices for boat transfers, drivers, accommodation and all sort of ideas that could make our holidays better. I will make another review once i have met Dan in person and used his services but i have a feeling that everything will continue on an extremely professional level. Highly recommended.

We were doing a few bits of complex travel around Koh Chang and the islands and Dan was incredible swift, clear and helpful - the transfers were seamless and it was definitely worth the money for the peace of mind we recieved going to and from different destinations.

Excellent service, cannot recommend enough, travelled with young children and it was seamless. Easiest traveling around Thailand we have done, Dan booked all boat tickets and arranged all the drivers, door to door service with excellent communication throughout and really reasonable prices. Thank you, you really removed a lot of the stressful part of travelling with children.We will use again when next heading to Koh Chang.

Perfect service with really profesionals and high expirence drivers. Used from Bangkok to Koh Chang and back to Bangkok. Perfect solution for families with 2 kids, as price was close to publick bus for service from door to door. One way Bangkok to Kohchang 3950 TBH. I will recomend it for any who will ask for best solution to get from Bangkok to Koh Chang.

We had great transfer services between Bangkok and our hotel on Koh Chang. Dan was very helpful via email with the booking. The drivers didn't speak English, which could have been communicated beforehand, but they were still very friendly and helpful.

We used explorekohchang for all our transfers over a 3 week period, Dan offers an amazing service, every transfer was faultless both in timekeeping and professional staff used. I can't recommend his services highly enough. Will definitely use again next time we visit Thailand.

To and from Cambodia – Koh Kood Transfers by Private Car or Minibus

If you are going to or coming from Cambodia, we can arrange a private transfer for you too.

We can either meet you or drop you at the borders of Aranya Prathet (Siem Reap), Had Lek (Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville) and Ban Pakkad (Battambang). Or we also offer a door to door transfer by private car or private minibus to and from your hotel in Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh and Battambang. There is always a change of vehicle at the border.

We normally only book transfers into Cambodia if you have an evisa, very easy to order from the official Cambodian government site.

Border Guide

Going into Cambodia for Siem Reap, we suggest the 09.00 boat off Koh Kood to reach your hotel in Siem Reap late afternoon.

Cambodian Immigration at the Poipet border has improved immensely since the Covid period, so you can now usually get through quickly. Our Cambodian driver waits after the exit from Immigration at a pre-arranged meeting point with a name sign.

Coming the other way, you need a 05.15 start from Siem Reap to safely make the boat at 14.40. For the 16.00, we suggest 06.30 from your hotel. Be prepared for a longer wait and queue to clear Thai Immigration – 60 to 90 minutes or more.

At Had Lek, Immigration is quick in either direction. There are a few more locals hanging around on the Cambodian side as well as an unnecessary health check but if you are aware of it, it’s really no problem.

We can also offer Koh Kood private speedboats directly to and from this border – please just ask for more details and a quotation.

Payment

For this international transfer service, we do require a deposit as we pay the Cambodian drivers in advance. If travelling into Cambodia, payment for the balance (after the deposit has been taken) is at the border before you leave Thailand. If coming out from Cambodia, we ask for payment on arrival at your destination in Thailand.

Our comprehensive round-up on travel to and from Cambodia is here.
