How to get from Koh Jum to Trang
Koh Jum to Trang Ferry: Route, Schedule and Booking
Traveling from Koh Jum to Trang connects a quiet island escape with the mainland gateway of Trang, a route used mainly by travelers heading onward to Trang town, its train and bus links, or the Trang islands further south. This is a seasonal service, running only during January to May and November to December. Outside these months the direct boat does not operate, so if you are searching for dates outside this window, plan your crossing via Krabi or Koh Lanta instead, where connections to Trang run on a more regular basis.
How the crossing works
The Koh Jum to Trang leg is not a single point-to-point ferry in the way larger island routes are. Boats depart from Koh Jum's main pier and most services route via Koh Lanta or Krabi, where passengers transfer onto a connecting boat or minivan for the final stretch into Trang. The onward leg from Krabi or Koh Lanta into Trang is typically covered by road transfer, so build a little flexibility into your connection time rather than booking a tight onward journey. Journey time for the full route is the scheduled journey time, and this covers the sea crossing plus the mainland transfer.
The service is run by Bundhaya Speed Boat using a speed boat, with onboard facilities on board for the crossing. Fares start from ฿1,520 per person, and departures run 1 during the operating season. Because Koh Jum is a small island with limited pier infrastructure, schedules can shift with sea conditions, so it is worth checking the live timetable on this page before you travel rather than relying on a fixed time.
Booking your Koh Jum to Trang ferry
Tickets combine the boat crossing and the mainland transfer to Trang in a single booking, which is the simplest way to cover this route without arranging separate legs yourself. Select your travel date above to see live availability and confirm your seat before departure, since sailings can be limited outside peak periods even within the operating season.
If you are arriving in Koh Jum from elsewhere, note that most travelers reach the island itself via Krabi or Koh Lanta first, both of which also serve as the transfer points for this Trang route. Travelers connecting onward from Trang commonly head to Trang's islands, or inland by train and bus.
Heading the other way, see the Trang to Koh Jum ferry schedule for the return crossing, which follows the same seasonal pattern and transfer points. For alternative connections when Koh Jum services are off-season, check the Krabi to Trang ferry route or the Koh Lanta to Trang ferry route, both of which run more frequently year-round.
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.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
