Koh Kradan to Trang: Route Overview

Koh Kradan is a small, quiet island in the Trang archipelago, and Trang is the mainland gateway with road, rail and air connections onward. The crossing between Koh Kradan and Trang takes around the scheduled journey time by ferry and speed boat, travelling across open sea before docking at the pier.

This is a seasonal route: boats run only during January to April and October to December. Outside these months the crossing does not operate, which is why the booking engine on this page may show no departures — it is not an error. If you are checking this route outside January to April and October to December, plan your visit for when services resume, or look at ferry connections to nearby islands such as Koh Lanta or Koh Ngai, which keep a longer season.

Operator and Timetable

several operators currently operates this route using ferry and speed boat, with 5 on the days it runs. This is the only confirmed timetable published for the crossing at present. Departure frequency can vary by season and demand, so always check the live schedule on this page rather than relying on a fixed time, and confirm your exact sailing when you book.

Prices and What's Included

Fares start from ฿300 per person one way. The final price depends on the season, the operator and how far ahead you book. Tickets typically include onboard facilities; luggage allowances are modest given the size of the boats used on this crossing, so check your confirmation for specifics before travelling.

Departure and Arrival Points

Boats to Trang depart from the pier at Koh Kradan and arrive at the main pier serving Trang. Because Koh Kradan has no scheduled boat services once January to April and October to December ends, it is worth confirming your pier and check-in time on your ticket, as these details can shift slightly between operators and across the season.

Booking Your Ferry

You can book your Koh Kradan to Trang ferry directly on this page: choose your travel date to see live availability and confirm your seat with several operators. If you also need the return leg, book your Trang to Koh Kradan ferry at the same time so both journeys line up with the same travel window.

FAQ

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.
