Flying to Trat Airport for Koh Mak

By flying with Bangkok Airways between Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Trat Airport (TDX), you can connect with the daily boats to or from Koh Mak.

Coming down, you want the lunchtime flight PG305, whereas going back you can use either the lunchtime PG306 ( by far the best option given boat times) or the afternoon PG308.

Trat Airport itself is about 25 minutes from Laem Ngop, the mainland pier for Koh Mak. There are now also several options from Laem Sok Pier, the main departure point for Koh Kood, which is just under an hour from the Airport.

What Flights to Trat Airport Make the Connections to Koh Mak?

When Bangkok Airways is on its summer timetable (30/3/25 to 25/10/25), the PG305 departs Suvarnabhumi Airport at 11.40, arriving at Trat Airport at 12.40, so you can connect to the 14.00 (Leelawadee) from Laem Ngop Pier. It’s 550bt per person, 1 hour. We can supply the private SUV car (975bt) as needed from the pier.

Once the airline switches to its winter timetable (26/10/25 to 29/3/26), the PG305 lands at 13.40 so you cannot make the 14.00 Leelawadee connection. Instead, you use the 16.00 Panan, 550bt, 1 hour.

Alternatively, you could also head to Laem Sok Pier for the 16.00 Koh Kut Express, 500bt, 30 minutes. Note, however, you need to be at their office at least 30 minutes before departure and transfers to there from Trat Airport are more expensive – private SUV car at 1,500bt.

Evening Flight Arrival – PG307

The last flight of the day, PG307, departing Suvarnabhumi Airport at 16.15, arriving at 17.15 (all year), will not make any boat connections. If you do find yourself on this flight, you can stay the night in either Trat or a guesthouse in Laem Ngop or near Laem Sok Pier and start afresh the next day.

If staying near Laem Ngop Pier, the 1st daily boat is, in theory, the Leelawadee at 10.30 but you would need to check ahead as it only runs at this time in the busiest periods and never in low season. For certain, the Koh Mak Ferry (actually a speedboat) at 11.30 operates every day.

Laem Ngop guesthouses will normally run you to the pier for free whilst from Trat, your hotel or guesthouse will organise a songthaew share taxi, 60bt per person or minimum charge of 300bt.

If you choose to stay near Laem Sok Pier, the first daily speedboat is at 10.00 (M Marine), 500bt per person, but you would always need to check ahead that is running. It’s housed within the Koh Kut Express office. Boonsiri’s catamaran is at 11.30, 550bt, 45 minutes or Koh Kut Express’s speedboat is the same time, 500bt, 30 minutes.

All speedboat details are here at Koh Mak ferry and speedboat, including changes during rainy season, end of May to end of October.

Boats and Return Flights

The lunchtime PG306 departs at 13.10 under the summer timetable (30/3/25 to 25/10/25) so you use the 10.00 Panan docking at 11.00. We can supply the private SUV car (975bt) as needed from the pier.

Once on the winter timetable (26/10/25 to around 29/3/26), the PG306 moves back at 14.10 so use the 11.30 Leelawadee off the island.

If you did want head to Laem Sok Pier instead, the 09.45 Boonsiri, 550bt, 45 minutes or the 10.00 Koh Kut Express, 30 minutes, 500bt, both work for PG306 when on its summer timetable, though you would need to check ahead if they are running at those times throughout the low season.

For the PG308 at 17.50 (all year), take the 13.30 Panan docking at 14.30, though it does mean a bit of a wait at Trat. If the Panan is not running in low season, then we suggest changing your flight to the lunchtime one.

In high season only, you could also take the Seudamgo coming from Koh Kood (13.50) which calls in at Koh Mak (14.20), leaving onwards at 14.40, docking at 15.20 at Laem Sok Pier, 550bt per person. **This Seudamgo boat switches to 12.30 in low season (May to September). **

Also heading to Laem Sok, the Boonsiri catamaran at 13.00 docking at 13.45 and the Koh Kut Express speedboat at 14.30 gives you other options in high season but again you must check ahead in low season that they are running at these times.

Transfers to Laem Ngop Pier

From Trat Airport to Laem Ngop Pier, there are private transfers or share songthaew taxis only.

These private transfers to Laem Ngop Pier are list priced at 975bt for an SUV style car (3/4 pax) or 1,500bt for a minibus (4 to 8 persons). We can organise everything for you, meeting passengers at Arrivals at Trat Airport with a name sign or directly off the boats on their return.

If travelling from Laem Sok Pier (see above) for the early evening PG308 flight, the private car is 1,500bt and the private minibus is 1,800bt.

The share songthaew taxis are 250bt per person between Laem Ngop Pier and Trat Airport.
