How to get from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon
Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon Ferry
Travelling from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon connects two of the quieter islands in the Trang and Satun archipelago, both known for calm, clear water and a slower pace than the busier Andaman resorts. The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time by speed boat, with Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club among the operators running this route.
Route and Operators
This route is served by speedboat, the practical way to island-hop between Koh Ngai and Koh Bulon since neither island has a large pier or road access to the mainland. Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club operates the crossing, and travellers can expect 2 on days the route runs. Onboard onboard facilities are typically available, though it's worth checking the specifics when you book, as these can vary by boat and season.
Seasonal Availability
This is a seasonal route and does not run all year: services operate January to April and October to December. Outside this window, sea conditions in this part of the Andaman Sea make the direct crossing impractical, and the booking engine for this route will show no available departures. If you're travelling outside January to April and October to December, check the reverse schedule for updated dates closer to the time, or look at routes connecting through Koh Lanta or Pak Bara, which run more consistently year-round. Booking within the active season is the most reliable way to secure a seat, as demand rises quickly once schedules are confirmed.
Prices and Booking
Fares for this crossing start from ฿1,050 per person, one way. Prices can shift with the season and with fuel surcharges, so the figure shown at checkout is the one to rely on rather than any price quoted elsewhere. Exact departure times vary by day and by operator, so always confirm the schedule shown at booking rather than assuming a fixed daily time.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats depart from the main pier on Koh Ngai and arrive directly at Koh Bulon's pier, without a mainland transfer in between. This makes the journey straightforward for travellers moving between the two islands, though it's worth allowing some flexibility around pier transfer times, particularly during the shoulder months at the start and end of the operating season.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
