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?

Morning Flight – PG301

PG301 departs at 08.15 (08.10 on winter timetable, 25/10/26 to 28/3/27) from BKK, landing at 09.15 (09.10) at TDX. You can use this to connect to the Koh Mak Ferry speedboat at 11.30 (550bt, 1 hour). As of June 26, Leelawadee has suspended all services for the rainy season, with no guarantee of a restart next high season – their 10.30 is therefore no longer an option.

From Laem Sok Pier, Boonsiri also offers a catamaran at 11.00 in low season from 1/6/26 to 30/9/26, reverting to 10.30 for high season from 1/10/26 to 31/5/27. It’s 550bt and takes 45 minutes. With travel time of 50 minutes, in the low season, that’s fine for the connection; in the high season, 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.

Lunchtime Flight – PG305

On the summer timetable (29/3/26 to 24/10/26), the lunchtime flight, PG305, departs BKK at 11.40, arriving at TDX at 12.40. Given that Leelawadee’s 14.00 is not available, you use the 16.00 Panan.

Alternatively, you could also head to Laem Sok Pier for the 14.30 Seudamgo mini catamaran (not running 1/6/26 to 30/9/26) or the 15.00 Boonsiri (not running 1/6/26 to 30/9/26).

Once on the winter timetable (25/10/26 to 28/3/27), PG305 moves to 12.45 departure, 13.45 arrival. Use either the 16.00 Panan from Laem Ngop Pier or the 16.00 Koh Kut Express mini catamaran (not running 1/6/26 to 30/9/26) from Laem Sok Pier.

Evening Flight Arrival – PG307

The last flight of the day, PG307, departing 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 the Koh Mak Ferry speedboat at 11.30.

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 boats are either Chonratee’s speedboat at 10.00 (500bt, 1 hour, not running 1/6/26 to 30/9/26) or Boonsiri’s catamaran at 10.30 (11.00 1/6/26 to 30/9/26) or Koh Kut Express’s mini catamaran at 11.45 (500bt, 30 minutes, not running 1/6/26 to 30/9/26).

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

Boats and Return Flights

Morning Flight – PG302

The morning flight, PG302 at 09.45 (09.40 25/10/26 to 28/3/27) from TDX does not work for Koh Mak departures as no boats leave the island Mak earlier enough to either Laem Ngop Pier or to Laem Sok Pier to make the connection.

Lunchtime Flight – PG306

On the summer timetable (29/3/26 to 24/10/26), the PG306 leaves at 13.10 so use the 10.00 Panan off the island, docking at 11.00.

When on the winter timetable, (25/10/26 to 28/3/27), PG306 moves to 14.10, so you take the that Panan until/if Leelawadee starts again with its 11.30 service.

Evening Flight – PG308

PG308 departs back to Bangkok at 17.50 (17.45 winter timetable). In low season from 1/6/26 to 30/9/26, all boats leaving Koh Mak to either pier are in the morning only. If you are booked on the evening flight, you need need to change it or sit in the Airport for 6 hours!

From 1/10/26, you can use the 13.00 Boonsiri, with a 13.45 arrival at Laem Sok Pier or the 13.30 Panan (if running) with a 14.30 arrival at Laem Ngop Pier or the Koh Kut Express mini catamaran at 15.00 to Laem Sok Pier, docking at 15.30 – that’s 500bt per person. 

Transfers to Laem Ngop or Laem Sok Pier

Private Transfers

From Trat Airport to Laem Ngop Pier, there are private transfers, share songthaew taxis or share minibus/boat combinations.

A private SUV car between Trat Airport and Laem Ngop Pier are 975bt each way or 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.

Share Minibus/Boat Combination

Boonsiri runs its share minibus/boat combination from the PG301 using its 10.30 boat (not available in low season) and from PG305 with its 15.00 boat (not available in low season). If the PG305 is delayed so you miss their boat, Boonsiri will shift you to the 16.00 Koh Kut Express mini catamaran (not running 1/6/26 to 30/9/26) but you pay again for the boat.

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