Flight Arrivals and Boat Connections to Koh Kood
From Trat Airport to Laem Sok Pier
From 27/10/24 until 30/3/25, Bangkok Airways runs its winter timetable with the PG305 departing at 12.40 arriving at 13.40. Boonsiri‘s boat at 15.00 is cutting things very fine as it will not wait if there are any flight delays – in our opinion, it is best to opt for either the 16.00 Seudamgo or the new Koh Kut Express speedboat, same time.
When on its summer timetable from 31/3/25 to 26/10/25, the lunchtime flight, PG305, leaves BKK at 11.40 and lands at 12.40. You can make the 14.20 Seudamgo, 600bt and 1 hour.
The afternoon flight, PG307, departs at 16.15, arriving at Trat Airport at 17.15 – all year. You will not be able to reach the island on the same day so you must stay a night in Trat or near the pier.
Boats from Koh Kood and Flight Departures
To connect to the lunchtime PG306 flight departing at 14.10 (winter timetable, 28/10/24 to 30/3/25), you take the 10.00 Seudamgo, 600bt per person, 1 hour.
Once on the summer timetable (31/3/25 to 27/10/25) with PG306 departure at 13.10, you can use the 09.00 Boonsiri, the 09.30 Koh Kut Express speedboat (closed 1/6/25 to 30/9/25) or the 10.00 Seudamgo, all 600bt and 1 hour, though the Seudamgo is cutting things a bit fine if there are any delays.
For the afternoon PG308 flight departing at 17.45, you use the last boats off the island, the 13.00 Boonsiri, the 13.00 or 14.00 Koh Kut Express speedboat at 600bt per person, 1 hour, or the Seudamgo mini catamaran at 13.50 (via Koh Mak) docking at 15.20, same price.
In all cases, we can then meet you with a private vehicle to travel the 50 minutes to Trat Airport.
Please see here for the full Koh Kood ferry and speedboat timetables.
Private Transfer by Car or Minibus between Trat Airport and Laem Sok Pier
From Trat Airport to Laem Sok Pier and the reverse, it is easiest to use private transfers to connect to the different boats.
These private transfers to/from Laem Sok Pier are priced at 1,500bt for a SUV style car (Innova, Fortuner, Pajero) for 2/3 adults or 2 adults and 2/3 children. It’s 1,800bt for a minibus for 4 to 8 persons.
We can organise both the transfer and the connecting boats for you, with our driving meeting passengers at Arrivals at Trat Airport with a name sign or directly off the boats on their return. Journey time is around 50 minutes between the Airport and the pier.
Please email us at [email protected] for all your private transfer requirements.
Payment for the private transfer is either in THB cash on the day or with an initial deposit via Wise, Revolut, Thai bank transfer or PayPal invoice (with processing charges). No need for a PayPal account, you can use a credit or debit card.
You then pay the balances due in THB cash on the day, all fully agreed beforehand.
Payment for the boat tickets is upfront, their cost added to the same transfer/invoice as the deposit. Or we can take THB cash for them too on the day, paid to the driver.
Share Minibus between Trat Airport and Laem Sok Pier
When on the winter timetable (PG305 landing at 13.40), Boonsiri‘s offers a share minibus service which connects to its 15.00 boat but that boat will not wait if the flight is delayed. Instead, they shift you to the 16.00 Seudamgo but you need to pay for the boat again.
When on the summer timetable (PG305 landing at 12.40), Seudamgo or Boonsiri offer a share minibus from Trat Airport to Laem Sok Pier to connect to their 14.20 or 14.40 boats respectively. The combined price for both services is 1,000bt per person, including the boat ticket.
The share service is available from Laem Sok Pier back to Trat Airport in both the morning (Boonsiri and Seudamgo) and the afternoon (Seudamgo only). For the morning service, Boonsiri provides a free shuttle from your resort to the departure pier for the 09.00 boat, with the share minibus then connecting you to the PG306 14.10 lunchtime flight back to BKK. Seudamgo’s service is with a free shuttle for its 10.00 boat.
For the afternoon service, Seudamgo collects you from 12.50 onwards from your resort to connect to the 13.50 boat which docks at 15.20. The waiting share minibus then connects you to the PG308 17.50 flight, same price at 1,000bt per person.
We can book this for you, payment in full upfront by Wise, Revolut, Thai bank transfer or PayPal (with processing charges).
