Travel to Koh Ngai from Satun
Koh Ngai to Satun Ferry
The route between Koh Ngai and Satun links one of Trang Province's quietest islands with Satun's mainland pier, the main gateway to the Tarutao archipelago and Koh Lipe. It's a practical option for travellers combining a Koh Ngai stay with onward trips toward the Thailand-Malaysia border, or arriving from Satun to reach the island's beaches and coral reefs.
Boats depart from Koh Ngai's pier on the island's east coast and arrive at Pak Bara Pier in Satun, the region's main departure point for Trang and Tarutao National Park boat traffic. Journey time is the scheduled journey time, covered by speed boat operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Fares start from ฿1,050 per person, and 3 are scheduled along this route; exact times are confirmed at booking, since they can shift with tides and demand. On board, travellers can expect onboard facilities.
When the Koh Ngai to Satun ferry runs
This is a seasonal route: boats operate January to April and October to December. Outside these months, sea conditions in this part of the Andaman Sea make the direct crossing unreliable, so services pause rather than run to a fixed timetable. If you're searching for this route outside its operating months, plan around the published season above, or ask about a connection via Koh Ngai to Koh Lanta, which can serve as an alternative link toward the mainland when direct Satun sailings aren't running.
Booking and travel tips
Book your crossing directly through the schedule and price panel on this page, which reflects live departure and fare information for Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Confirming your seat in advance is recommended in high season, when boats to and from Koh Ngai fill quickly. If you're travelling in the opposite direction, the Satun to Koh Ngai ferry page covers the same crossing with schedules and prices for that direction.
Nearby islands and connections
Koh Ngai sits close to several other Trang Province islands popular with the same ferry operators, including Koh Mook and Koh Kradan. Travellers building a wider island-hopping itinerary from Satun can also check the Satun to Koh Lipe ferry, which departs from the same Pak Bara Pier and serves the Tarutao National Park islands further south. Combining these routes makes it possible to link Koh Ngai, Satun, and the Lipe-Tarutao area within a single trip without backtracking to the mainland by road.
For the most current departure times, fares, and seat availability on the Koh Ngai to Satun crossing, use the booking panel above rather than relying on printed schedules, since operators adjust sailings seasonally and around weather conditions.
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.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
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.
