Travel from Satun to Koh Ngai
Ferries from Satun to Koh Ngai
Traveling by boat from Satun to Koh Ngai links the mainland pier in southern Thailand with one of the quieter islands of the Trang archipelago, known for its powder-white beach and limestone backdrop. This route runs seasonally, operating selected months of the year in line with the Andaman Sea's calmer weather window. Outside selected months of the year, boats on this crossing are suspended for safety, so travellers searching for sailings at other times of year should either wait for the season to reopen or look at a year-round alternative such as the mainland connection via Trang's Hat Yao and Kuantung piers.
Journey time, price and frequency
The crossing from Satun to Koh Ngai takes around about 5 minutes, with 1 during the operating season. Fares start from ฿2,300 per person one way; the exact price depends on the operator, boat type and how far ahead you book. Because sailings only run selected months of the year, it is worth checking the live schedule before you travel to confirm the day and departure that suits your itinerary.
Operators and onboard facilities
Bundhaya Speed Boat operates this route using a speed boat, fitted with onboard facilities to keep the crossing comfortable in open Andaman waters. Life jackets are provided on board, and luggage space is limited on smaller boats, so pack light if you are continuing on to another island afterwards.
Departure and arrival points
Boats to Koh Ngai leave from Pak Bara Pier in Satun's La-ngu district, the main gateway for Andaman island transfers, including onward services to Koh Lipe, Koh Bulon and Koh Tarutao National Park. On arrival, boats moor directly off Koh Ngai's main beach near the island's resorts; there is no deep-water jetty, so passengers typically wade or transfer by longtail boat for the final stretch to shore.
Nearby islands and related routes
Koh Ngai sits within easy reach of several other Trang and Krabi islands, which makes it a convenient stop on an island-hopping itinerary. Travellers continuing their trip often head on to Koh Mook, home to the Emerald Cave, or Koh Kradan, one of the province's most photographed beaches. If you are heading back to the mainland, see the Koh Ngai to Satun return ferry for the same crossing in reverse. You can also compare the Satun to Koh Lipe ferry route for a livelier island further along the Andaman coast, or the Trang to Koh Ngai ferry route as an alternative departure point when Pak Bara sailings are limited.

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.
