How to get from Koh Bulon to Satun
Koh Bulon to Satun Ferry: Routes, Schedule and Booking
Traveling from Koh Bulon to Satun connects the quiet island of Koh Bulon Lae, off Thailand's Andaman coast, with Satun on the mainland, the gateway to Pak Bara pier and the wider Satun archipelago. This crossing is popular with travelers combining Koh Bulon with nearby islands such as Koh Lipe and Koh Tarutao National Park, both reached from the same pier network.
When the Route Operates
This ferry route runs seasonally, during January to April and October to December. Outside this window, Koh Bulon's boat services scale back or pause entirely due to Andaman Sea conditions, and the online booking engine will show no available departures. If you are traveling outside the active season, check the Koh Lipe to Satun ferry schedule for a route that typically runs longer into the year, or plan your Koh Bulon visit within the published operating months to avoid arriving at Pak Bara pier with no boat running.
Operators and Transport Mode
Crossings on this route are operated by Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club, using a speed boat suited to the shallow landings around Koh Bulon Lae. Onboard onboard facilities are available, and life jackets are provided as standard on this crossing, as on other boats serving the Satun islands.
Journey Duration and Departures
The crossing between Koh Bulon and Satun takes around the scheduled journey time, with 1 scheduled during the active season. Exact departure times vary by operator and by month, so always check the live schedule shown on this page before finalizing your travel dates, particularly if you are connecting onward to Koh Lipe or Koh Tarutao on the same day.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats depart from Pak Bara pier in Satun province, the main hub for onward travel to Koh Bulon, Koh Lipe, and Koh Tarutao National Park, and arrive directly at Koh Bulon Lae's beach landing. Pak Bara is roughly an hour from Satun town by road, so allow extra time if you are arriving from Hat Yai or Trang before your boat departs.
Price and Booking
Fares on this route start from ฿600 per person one-way. Prices can vary by operator, seat class, and how far in advance you book, so the figure shown at checkout reflects current availability. Booking ahead is recommended during peak months, when demand from travelers heading to both Koh Bulon and the Koh Lipe area is highest.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
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?
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 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.
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.
