Koh Mook Information
About Koh Mook
Koh Mook also referred to as “Koh Muk” is a piece from paradise, this small island is located in the southern Andaman coast in the south of Thailand. The Thai word “Muk” means pearl, so the island is called “Pearl Island”.
The majority of the population on pearl island is Thai-Muslim and the main and almost the only industry on Muk is tourism. Koh Muk is a fine alternative to the more busy islands in the Andaman Sea.
Because tourism is the island's main industry, life on Koh Mook is built around the arrival and departure of boats. That makes planning your transport the most important part of your trip, and it is worth booking your seat before you travel rather than after you arrive.
How to get to Koh Mook
Koh Mook is reached by boat from the mainland and from neighbouring Andaman islands. There are currently 59 routes bookable routes serving the island, so most travellers can find a connection that fits their itinerary on the day they want to travel.
Prices start from ฿300, depending on the route you choose, the operator and how far in advance you book. Use the search box to compare the options available for your travel date.
Operators serving Koh Mook
Several companies run services to and from the island, including Bundhaya Speed Boat, Lanta Petpailin and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Each operator covers a different set of connections, so the choice of company usually follows from the route you need rather than the other way round.
Once you select a departure, you will see the several operators handling that service along with the travel time and the conditions that apply to your ticket.
Popular routes to and from Koh Mook
Koh Mook sits within easy reach of the wider Andaman island chain and the Krabi and Satun coastlines. Frequently searched connections include:
- Ao Nang – a popular beach base near Krabi, useful if you are combining the island with the mainland.
- Koh Lanta – one of the closest larger islands and a common stop when island hopping north.
- Koh Kradan – a neighbouring Trang island, often visited on the same trip.
- Koh Lipe – the main island of the far southern Andaman, towards the Malaysian border.
- Koh Bulon – a quiet island between Koh Mook and Koh Lipe.
- Koh Jum – a small, low-key island to the north.
In total the island connects to these destinations and 7 more, so it works well as one link in a longer island-hopping chain rather than a dead end.
Building an island-hopping route
Many travellers arrive from one island and continue to the next. Heading north, the Koh Lanta ferry connections open up onward travel towards Krabi and Phuket. Heading south, boats to Koh Lipe continue towards Satun and the Malaysian border. If you want to stay in the Trang island group, Koh Kradan transfers are a short hop away.
Ports and arrival points
Koh Mook is served by small island piers rather than a large terminal, and some services drop passengers directly on the beach by longtail or speedboat transfer. The exact pier or pick-up point for your journey is shown on your ticket after booking, so check it before you set out.
If your journey involves a mainland leg, your ticket will also confirm the departure point and the reporting time. Arrive early enough to check in, as boat departures on this coast do not wait.
Practical travel information
A few things worth knowing before you travel to Koh Mook:
- Book ahead in high season. The island is small and seats on popular connections sell out, especially around holidays.
- Travel light where you can. Boats and transfer vehicles have limited luggage space, and some arrivals involve stepping onto a beach or a small pier.
- Check the season. Andaman coast schedules vary through the year, and services on some routes are reduced or suspended outside the main season. Search your date to see what is actually running.
- Allow buffer time for connections. If you have a flight or an onward booking, leave a comfortable gap rather than a tight one.
- Bring cash. As a small island where tourism is the main industry, card acceptance is limited outside larger resorts.
What to see and do on Koh Mook
The island's best-known attraction is the Emerald Cave, reached by swimming or paddling through a sea tunnel that opens into a hidden beach ringed by cliffs. Most visitors reach it by longtail boat from the island.
Beyond that, Koh Mook is about slow days: quiet west-facing beaches, sunsets over the Andaman Sea, and a small local village where the Thai-Muslim community lives. Nearby islands are close enough for day trips by boat, which is part of why the island suits travellers who want a calmer base than the busier Andaman destinations.
Please dress modestly away from the beaches out of respect for the island's Muslim community — a small courtesy that is always appreciated.

Koh Mook Highlights
Diving
Diving is one of the most popular activities around most of Thailand’s islands. The first diving site in Koh Mook is where underwater marriage ceremonies were first held. The second one is called Koh Mah and it is a horse-shaped island which its water contains coral and seaweed. The third one is Koh Chueak which is a group of two small islands with water moving quickly between them, so you should hang on tight to your tour guide’s rope while admiring the colorful fish and reefs.
Kayaking
Kayaking is a fun sport for all ages, especially if you’re surrounded by beautiful sceneries. Tom Yai Bay is an amazing spot for kayaking because of the gentle waters. This bay is also where Tham Morakot and Farang beach are located so you can kayak your way through the passage to Tham Morakot if the tide is low, or you can spot the beautiful coral reefs from your boat. You can rent a kayak from Farang beach or Swasdee resort and Charlie Beach resort.

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?
