Travel to Koh Kradan from Satun
Koh Kradan to Satun Ferry and Speedboat
Travelling from Koh Kradan to Satun takes you from one of the Trang archipelago's quietest islands to the mainland gateway of Satun Province. Boats on this route run seasonally, operating from January to April and October to December — outside this window, transfers from Koh Kradan are not scheduled, so travellers searching for a departure in the off-season should plan to arrive or leave via an alternative Trang island pier, or check back once the season reopens before booking.
Route overview
Koh Kradan is a small, forest-covered island off the coast of Trang, prized for its clear water and reef. Satun Province, on the Andaman coast near the Malaysian border, is best known as the mainland gateway for boats to Koh Lipe and Koh Bulon. This route links the two, giving travellers leaving Koh Kradan a direct way to reach the mainland without backtracking through Trang town.
Transport mode and operator
The crossing is run by speedboat, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, and the boat is suited to travellers carrying standard luggage rather than a speed boat.
Journey duration and schedule
The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, with 3 available during the operating season. Exact departure times can shift with sea conditions and demand, so always confirm the current timetable shown on this page before finalising other travel plans around it.
Departure and arrival points
Boats leave from the pier on Koh Kradan and arrive at Pak Bara Pier in La-Ngu District, Satun Province — the same pier used for onward speedboats to Koh Lipe and Koh Bulon, which makes it a convenient stop if you're island-hopping further south. From Pak Bara, road transport connects easily to Satun town and on to Trang or the Malaysian border crossing at Wang Prachan.
Prices and booking
Fares for this route start from ฿900 per person, with the final price depending on the operator and travel date shown at checkout. Book your Koh Kradan to Satun speedboat ticket directly through this page to secure your seat during the operating season.

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.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
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.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
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.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
