How to get from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon

Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon Ferry

Travelling from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon connects two of the quieter islands in the Trang and Satun archipelago, both known for calm, clear water and a slower pace than the busier Andaman resorts. The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time by speed boat, with Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club among the operators running this route.

Route and Operators

This route is served by speedboat, the practical way to island-hop between Koh Ngai and Koh Bulon since neither island has a large pier or road access to the mainland. Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club operates the crossing, and travellers can expect 2 on days the route runs. Onboard onboard facilities are typically available, though it's worth checking the specifics when you book, as these can vary by boat and season.

Seasonal Availability

This is a seasonal route and does not run all year: services operate January to April and October to December. Outside this window, sea conditions in this part of the Andaman Sea make the direct crossing impractical, and the booking engine for this route will show no available departures. If you're travelling outside January to April and October to December, check the reverse schedule for updated dates closer to the time, or look at routes connecting through Koh Lanta or Pak Bara, which run more consistently year-round. Booking within the active season is the most reliable way to secure a seat, as demand rises quickly once schedules are confirmed.

Prices and Booking

Fares for this crossing start from ฿1,050 per person, one way. Prices can shift with the season and with fuel surcharges, so the figure shown at checkout is the one to rely on rather than any price quoted elsewhere. Exact departure times vary by day and by operator, so always confirm the schedule shown at booking rather than assuming a fixed daily time.

Departure and Arrival Points

Boats depart from the main pier on Koh Ngai and arrive directly at Koh Bulon's pier, without a mainland transfer in between. This makes the journey straightforward for travellers moving between the two islands, though it's worth allowing some flexibility around pier transfer times, particularly during the shoulder months at the start and end of the operating season.

FAQ

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.
