Travel from Satun to Koh Ngai
Ferries from Satun to Koh Ngai
Traveling by boat from Satun to Koh Ngai links the mainland pier in southern Thailand with one of the quieter islands of the Trang archipelago, known for its powder-white beach and limestone backdrop. This route runs seasonally, operating selected months of the year in line with the Andaman Sea's calmer weather window. Outside selected months of the year, boats on this crossing are suspended for safety, so travellers searching for sailings at other times of year should either wait for the season to reopen or look at a year-round alternative such as the mainland connection via Trang's Hat Yao and Kuantung piers.
Journey time, price and frequency
The crossing from Satun to Koh Ngai takes around about 5 minutes, with 1 during the operating season. Fares start from ฿2,300 per person one way; the exact price depends on the operator, boat type and how far ahead you book. Because sailings only run selected months of the year, it is worth checking the live schedule before you travel to confirm the day and departure that suits your itinerary.
Operators and onboard facilities
Bundhaya Speed Boat operates this route using a speed boat, fitted with onboard facilities to keep the crossing comfortable in open Andaman waters. Life jackets are provided on board, and luggage space is limited on smaller boats, so pack light if you are continuing on to another island afterwards.
Departure and arrival points
Boats to Koh Ngai leave from Pak Bara Pier in Satun's La-ngu district, the main gateway for Andaman island transfers, including onward services to Koh Lipe, Koh Bulon and Koh Tarutao National Park. On arrival, boats moor directly off Koh Ngai's main beach near the island's resorts; there is no deep-water jetty, so passengers typically wade or transfer by longtail boat for the final stretch to shore.
Nearby islands and related routes
Koh Ngai sits within easy reach of several other Trang and Krabi islands, which makes it a convenient stop on an island-hopping itinerary. Travellers continuing their trip often head on to Koh Mook, home to the Emerald Cave, or Koh Kradan, one of the province's most photographed beaches. If you are heading back to the mainland, see the Koh Ngai to Satun return ferry for the same crossing in reverse. You can also compare the Satun to Koh Lipe ferry route for a livelier island further along the Andaman coast, or the Trang to Koh Ngai ferry route as an alternative departure point when Pak Bara sailings are limited.

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.
