How to get from Koh Ngai to Koh Jum
Ferry from Koh Ngai to Koh Jum
Koh Ngai and Koh Jum sit close together in the Andaman Sea between Krabi and Trang, and the direct boat link between them is a convenient way to island-hop without backtracking through the mainland. This route connects Koh Ngai with Koh Jum, and is typically covered by speed boat operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat.
When this route operates
This is a seasonal route: boats run January to April and November to December. Outside these months the Andaman Sea crossing is subject to monsoon conditions, and operators suspend the service until the weather settles. If you are searching outside the operating season, check back closer to the start date, or look at routes via Krabi or Koh Lanta, which tend to run on a more extended schedule and can bridge the gap between Koh Ngai and Koh Jum. Booking early within the active season is recommended, since capacity on smaller boats fills up quickly around holidays.
Journey time and schedule
The crossing takes around about 2 minutes, with 1 available on days the route operates. Exact departure times vary by operator and by day, so always confirm the current timetable when you book rather than relying on a fixed clock time. Departures and arrivals use the piers or beach landing points at Koh Ngai and Koh Jum, and staff at both ends can help with luggage transfer where boats anchor offshore.
Prices and what's included
Fares start from ฿1,500 per person one-way. Boats on this route generally include onboard facilities, though the level of comfort depends on the vessel size and the operator, since this is a short-hop island service rather than a large passenger ferry. Prices can shift with demand and season, so the figure shown at checkout is the one to rely on.
Booking and practical tips
You can book your ferry from Koh Ngai to Koh Jum online in advance to secure a seat, which is especially useful in peak months when boats can sell out. Cancellation, date-change and rebooking conditions are set by the individual operator and are shown clearly at checkout before you pay, so review them for your specific booking rather than assuming a standard policy applies. If your travel dates fall outside January to April and November to December, the booking engine will not show departures for this route, since no boats are scheduled during the off 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.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
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.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
