Koh Jum to Satun Travel Guide
Koh Jum to Satun Ferry: Routes, Prices and Schedules
Travelling from Koh Jum to Satun connects one of the Andaman coast's quieter islands with the mainland gateway town for southern Thailand's ferry network. This route is served by Bundhaya Speed Boat, using a combination of speed boat for the sea and overland legs of the journey.
This route is seasonal and does not run all year. Boats and connecting transfers between Koh Jum and Satun operate during January to May and November to December. Outside these months, sea conditions along this stretch of the Andaman coast make the direct crossing unreliable, so the booking engine will show no departures. If you are travelling out of season, check the January to May and November to December window before planning your trip, or look at year-round overland options via Krabi and Trang as an alternative way to reach Satun.
How to get from Koh Jum to Satun
There is no direct pier-to-pier boat linking Koh Jum straight to Satun town. Most travellers start with a longtail or speedboat transfer from Koh Jum to the mainland piers near Krabi, then continue south by road. From there, minivan and private-transfer services run down through Trang towards Satun, passing close to Pak Bara Pier, the main mainland gateway pier used for onward boats along the Satun coast, including services to Koh Lipe and Koh Bulon. Depending on availability, some operators route travellers via Trang town instead, where minivans connect directly on to Satun.
Available transport modes on this route include ferry, minivan and private transfer, which can be combined depending on your departure point on Koh Jum and your final stop in Satun province.
Operators, journey time and fares
Bundhaya Speed Boat operates this route with a typical journey time of around the scheduled journey time, though actual timings can vary with sea conditions, tide, and the number of connections required between the island and Satun. Fares start from ฿1,950 per person, with 1 available depending on the day and season. Because this route combines a boat leg with overland transport, prices and timings are best confirmed at the time of booking rather than assumed in advance.
Onboard and transfer comfort varies by operator, but onboard facilities are commonly included on this route. Departure and arrival points are arranged directly with your chosen operator once you book, since pickup on Koh Jum is typically from your accommodation or the nearest pier, while arrival in Satun is usually at the town pier or bus terminal.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
