Private Transfer – Car or Minibus – Koh Mak

UPDATED for 2019-20 SEASON

Private transfer by car or minibus is probably the most convenient way to get to Laem Ngop (Krom Luang) Pier for Koh Mak.

We can collect you direct from your hotel in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport, Don Mueang Airport, as well as Trat Airport, Pattaya, Ban Phe (Koh Samet), the Cambodian cities and borders.

From hotels in central Bangkok, transfer time is around 4.5 to 5 hours with a couple of stops along the way. The first daily speedboat is at 10.30 Leelawadee, the last one at 16.00, Panan.

Prices cover all diesel and tollways needed. The cost of the speedboat tickets to or from Laem Ngop (Krom Luang) Pier is not included.

We recommend 2 adults or 2 adults and child for the Camry style car, 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children for the larger Innova style car and 4 to 8 for the minibus.

Passengers at Suvarnabhumi Airport are met at Level 2 Arrivals, Door 3 and all other meetings places are specified in advance.

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 Innova or Fortuner with one rear facing child seat (Aprica) available for infants. 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.

Payment

Payment for private transfers is with an initial deposit invoice via PayPal, with the balances due paid (in THB cash only) on the day of travel. You do not need a PayPal account to pay this, it can be done with any card. The deposit works as a guarantee, both to us and to you.

If time does not allow for a deposit, then the transfers can sometimes be booked on trust, with the cost of the private transfer to or from Laem Ngop Pier paid direct to the driver on completion of your journey.

Cambodia – Private Transfers to and from Laem Ngop Pier

For Cambodia, a private transfer can be arranged between Laem Ngop Pier and the borders at Aranya Prathet, Had Lek and Ban Pakkad, with prices given below.

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.

If going to Siem Reap, we use a VIP guide who meets the vehicle at the border, takes you through the whole Immigration process and then on to the Poipet Terminal, where your private vehicle is waiting for the final leg to Siem Reap.

Coming the other way, you need a 07.00 or 07.30 start from Siem Reap to make the boats at either 15.00 or 16.00 to Koh Mak. There is no need for a helper through Cambodian Immigration but be prepared for a long wait and queue to clear Thai Immigration – an hour upwards is the norm.

This international transfer service does 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.
