Koh Kood Information
Boats leave from the Laem Sok Pier, which is 4.5 to 5 hours journey time from Bangkok and about 30km from Trat, the nearest provincial town. To reach the pier directly, you can use private transfers which can be taken from your hotel or Suvarnabhumi Airport, but these will require early starts to make the boat connections. There are private cars and minibusses which can also meet the morning and lunchtime flights from Trat Airport.
All boats leave from Laem Sok Pier, about 30km out from Trat, an hour from Trat Airport and 45 minutes from the Koh Chang Piers and Laem Ngop Pier (Koh Mak). The express boats have a fare of around 350 baht per person and the journey time is approximately 90 minutes. There is also a high-speed catamaran which has a fare of 500 baht per person and the journey time is 75-90 minutes. Companies provide a free taxi shuttle service from Trat. On arrival in Koh Kood, each boat company once again supplies free transport to and from your resort.

Koh Kood Information
Koh Kood: Thailand's quiet island escape
Drop dead gorgeous, this calm island will leave you overwhelmed right from the moment that you arrive here. Koh Kood sits in the far east of the Gulf of Thailand, close to the Cambodian border, and it remains one of the least developed of Thailand's large islands.
Its stunning beaches are one of the best in all Thailand and even in the high season, they will still be almost empty. Five stars hotels and resorts are just a few minutes from the pier, surrounded by mangroves and coconut trees, this is the perfect destination to spend a holiday as a couple or with your precious family.
Because there is no airport on the island, every visitor arrives by water. That single fact shapes the whole trip: you book a crossing, you arrive at a pier, and you travel onward to your resort from there.
How to get to Koh Kood
Koh Kood is connected to the mainland and to neighbouring islands through 25 routes bookable routes on this site. Journeys are sold as single tickets or as combined tickets that link a road leg with a sea crossing, so you can travel from a city centre or an airport straight through to the island on one booking.
Operators serving the island include Boonsiri High Speed Ferries and Seudamgo. Availability, timings and vehicle types vary by season and by operator, so check the live results for your travel date rather than relying on a fixed timetable.
Departure and arrival points
Trat is the mainland gateway for the island and the usual transfer point for travellers coming from elsewhere in Thailand. Crossings from the Trat area run to the island's piers, where resort transfers and local taxis meet arriving passengers.
Koh Mak lies between Trat and Koh Kood and is served on the same corridor, which makes island hopping straightforward. Bangkok, Pattaya and Suvarnabhumi Airport are all connected as through journeys, combining a land leg to the coast with the sea crossing.
Popular routes to and from Koh Kood
- Bangkok to Koh Kood — the most common approach for international visitors, combining road travel to the coast with the crossing.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport to Koh Kood — useful if you are heading to the island straight after landing.
- Trat to Koh Kood — the shortest link, and the connection most other journeys pass through.
- Koh Mak to Koh Kood — the island hop for travellers combining both islands in one trip.
- Pattaya to Koh Kood — a practical option if you are already on the eastern seaboard.
Each of these runs in both directions, so you can plan your return the same way. Fares start from ฿400 depending on the route, the operator and how far ahead you book.
Practical travel information
Book ahead in the high season. The island is quiet, but the boats are not unlimited, and combined tickets from Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport sell out first on weekends and public holidays.
Give yourself a buffer if you are connecting from a flight. Sea crossings depend on conditions, and a missed connection on the coast can mean waiting for the next departure rather than the next hour.
Check which pier your ticket uses. The island has more than one landing point, and your resort transfer will be arranged around the pier named on your booking, not around the island in general.
Travel light where you can. Transfers on the island are mostly by pickup truck or scooter, and roads are narrow.
Confirm the baggage allowance and any conditions on changes or refunds with Boonsiri High Speed Ferries and Seudamgo at the time of booking, as these differ between companies.
Getting around once you arrive
Most resorts include or arrange a transfer from the pier, and the ride is short. Scooter rental is widely available for exploring independently, and taxis operate as shared pickups between the main beaches.
What to see and do
The beaches are the main draw, and the west coast holds the best known stretches of white sand and clear shallow water. Snorkelling and diving trips run to the reefs around the nearby islands.
Inland, the island is thick with jungle. Waterfalls, mangrove boardwalks and short forest walks fill an afternoon away from the sand, and kayaking through the mangroves is one of the easier ways to see the interior.
Fishing villages built on stilts sit along the coast and are worth a visit for lunch. Evenings are low key here, with beach bars and resort restaurants rather than nightlife.
Ready to book?
Compare departures, operators and fares for every connection to the island in one place, and secure your seats before the peak season fills up.

Frequently asked questions
What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket
Phuket really just has two seasons, which are known as "high season" and "low season" (or "green season"). During the low season months (May–September), boat numbers are reduced. During the high season (October–April), boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options.
Koh Samui
There are three distinct weather seasons on the tropical island of Koh Samui: the dry season (December until February), the hot season (March until August) and the rainy season (September until November).
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How long am I locked out for?
The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:
- 1st lock — 1 minute
- 2nd lock — 5 minutes
- 3rd lock — 15 minutes
- 4th lock and after — 1 hour
An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
