Travel to Koh Ngai from Satun
Koh Ngai to Satun Ferry
The route between Koh Ngai and Satun links one of Trang Province's quietest islands with Satun's mainland pier, the main gateway to the Tarutao archipelago and Koh Lipe. It's a practical option for travellers combining a Koh Ngai stay with onward trips toward the Thailand-Malaysia border, or arriving from Satun to reach the island's beaches and coral reefs.
Boats depart from Koh Ngai's pier on the island's east coast and arrive at Pak Bara Pier in Satun, the region's main departure point for Trang and Tarutao National Park boat traffic. Journey time is the scheduled journey time, covered by speed boat operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Fares start from ฿1,050 per person, and 3 are scheduled along this route; exact times are confirmed at booking, since they can shift with tides and demand. On board, travellers can expect onboard facilities.
When the Koh Ngai to Satun ferry runs
This is a seasonal route: boats operate January to April and October to December. Outside these months, sea conditions in this part of the Andaman Sea make the direct crossing unreliable, so services pause rather than run to a fixed timetable. If you're searching for this route outside its operating months, plan around the published season above, or ask about a connection via Koh Ngai to Koh Lanta, which can serve as an alternative link toward the mainland when direct Satun sailings aren't running.
Booking and travel tips
Book your crossing directly through the schedule and price panel on this page, which reflects live departure and fare information for Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Confirming your seat in advance is recommended in high season, when boats to and from Koh Ngai fill quickly. If you're travelling in the opposite direction, the Satun to Koh Ngai ferry page covers the same crossing with schedules and prices for that direction.
Nearby islands and connections
Koh Ngai sits close to several other Trang Province islands popular with the same ferry operators, including Koh Mook and Koh Kradan. Travellers building a wider island-hopping itinerary from Satun can also check the Satun to Koh Lipe ferry, which departs from the same Pak Bara Pier and serves the Tarutao National Park islands further south. Combining these routes makes it possible to link Koh Ngai, Satun, and the Lipe-Tarutao area within a single trip without backtracking to the mainland by road.
For the most current departure times, fares, and seat availability on the Koh Ngai to Satun crossing, use the booking panel above rather than relying on printed schedules, since operators adjust sailings seasonally and around weather conditions.
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.
