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 using either Laem Ngop Pier or Laem Sok Pier.

Going to the island, both the PG301 morning flight and PG305 lunchtime flight make boat connections, 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 Pier or 50 minutes from Laem Sok Pier.

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

When Bangkok Airways is on its winter timetable (26/10/25 to 28/3/26), PG301 departs at 08.10 from BKK, landing at 09.10 at TDX. You can use this to connect to the 1st daily boats from Laem Ngop – the Leelawadee at 10.30 (high season only, always check ahead) and the Koh Mak Ferry speedboat at 11.30 (all year).

From Laem Sok Pier, Boonsiri also offers a catamaran at 10.30 – that’s tight (50 minutes travel time) but just about OK. Note at Laem Sok Pier, you need to be there at least 30 minutes before departure to check in.

The lunchtime flight, PG305, lands at 13.45 so you cannot make the 14.00 Leelawadee connection from Laem Ngop. Instead, you use the 16.00 Panan. Alternatively, you could also head to Laem Sok Pier for the 15.00 Boonsiri – tight for time but just about OK.

Once the airline switches to its summer timetable (29/3/26 to 24/10/26), PG301 is at 09.15 so simply follow as above. PG305, however, departs Suvarnabhumi Airport at 11.40, arriving at Trat Airport at 12.40, so you can now easily connect to the 14.00 (Leelawadee) from Laem Ngop Pier.

Our private car from Trat Airport to Laem Ngop Pier is 975bt and to Laem Sok Pier, 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 boat is either Boonsiri’s catamaran at 10.30, 550bt, 45 minutes or Koh Kut Express’s speedboat at 11.30, 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 morning flight, PG302 at 09.40 (09.45 29/3/26 to 24/10/26) from TDX is of no use for same day travel as there are no boats to either Laem Ngop Pier or Laem Sok Pier which will make the connection.

On the winter timetable (26/10/25 to 28/3/26), the PG306 leaves at 14.15 so use the 11.30 Leelawadee off the island. This moves to 13.10 under the summer timetable (29/3/26 to 24/10/26) so you use the 10.00 Panan docking at 11.00.

For the PG308 at 17.45 (17.50 26/10/25 to 28/3/26), 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.

Heading to Laem Sok from Koh Mak, the Boonsiri catamaran at 13.00 docks at 13.45 and the Koh Kut Express mini catamaran 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 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 to or from Laem Sok Pier (see above), 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.
