How to get from Trang to Koh Bulon
Trang to Koh Bulon Ferry: Route Overview
Traveling from Trang to Koh Bulon connects the mainland pier at Trang with the quiet, coral-fringed island of Koh Bulon Lae. The crossing is a popular way to reach one of the Andaman Coast's less crowded islands, and it can be booked directly online. If you are planning the return leg, the ferry from Koh Bulon back to Trang runs on the same seasonal schedule described below.
When This Route Operates
This is a seasonal route: boats run only during January to April and October to December. Outside this window, sea conditions in the Andaman make a direct crossing unsafe, and no operator schedules departures. If you are searching for travel dates outside January to April and October to December, check the current schedule on this page before booking, since dates can shift slightly from year to year depending on weather. Travelers visiting in the off-season can instead consider the Trang to Koh Lipe ferry, which operates on a different seasonal calendar, or fly into the region and connect by road and boat via Koh Lanta.
Journey Duration and Onward Travel
The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, aboard a speed boat equipped with onboard facilities. Actual sailing time can vary slightly with sea conditions and the specific operator, so treat the figure shown at booking as the reliable one for your travel date.
Prices and Booking
Fares on this route start from ฿900 per person. Prices depend on the operator, the season, and how far in advance you book, so the amount shown at checkout reflects the current fare for your chosen date rather than a fixed rate. Booking ahead is recommended during peak months, when seats to Koh Bulon sell out faster than on busier Andaman routes.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats depart from the pier serving Trang and arrive directly at Koh Bulon, with no scheduled stops in between on most services. Confirm your exact pier and check-in time when you book, since transfer points from Trang town or the airport can vary by operator.
Operators and Schedule
This route is currently served by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club, with 3 scheduled during the operating season. Because Koh Bulon is a smaller island with lower ferry volume than nearby destinations, sailings are less frequent than on routes such as Trang to Koh Lipe, so it's worth locking in your preferred departure once your travel dates are set. For background on the island itself, including where to stay and what to do once you arrive, see the Koh Bulon travel guide.

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.
