How to get from Koh Mook to Koh Ngai
Koh Mook to Koh Ngai Ferry
Traveling from Koh Mook to Koh Ngai connects two of the Trang archipelago's most laid-back islands, known for shallow turquoise water and quiet beaches. This route runs only part of the year, operating January to April and October to December. Outside these months the boats are suspended, so if you're searching out of season, plan your dates around the season or look at a year-round alternative via the Pak Meng or Kuan Tung Ku mainland piers instead.
How to Travel Between Koh Mook and Koh Ngai
The crossing is covered by ferry and speed boat, operated by several operators, and takes around the scheduled journey time depending on sea conditions and boat type. Boats run 4 during the season, so it's worth checking the live schedule before heading to the pier, since seats on smaller island-hopping boats can be limited. The exact distance and journey time can vary by operator and by conditions on the day, so treat the duration above as a guide and confirm the first and last departure when you book.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats leave from Koh Mook's pier and arrive directly at Koh Ngai's pier, with no need to transfer via the mainland during the season.
Fares and Booking
Fares for this route start from ฿300 per person, with the final price depending on the operator and boat type you choose. Standard longtail transfers are generally the more affordable option, while shared speedboat services cost a little more in exchange for a faster, smoother ride. Facilities on board typically include onboard facilities, though this can vary by boat. Book your ticket online in advance to secure a seat, especially in high season, when demand for this crossing is strong.
Other Ways to Reach Koh Ngai
If you're island-hopping around Trang, you may also want to check the Koh Kradan to Koh Ngai ferry schedule, another short seasonal hop popular with travelers combining several islands in one trip. Divers and snorkelers based on Koh Mook often also compare this crossing with a transfer to Koh Ngai's beaches and accommodation before deciding where to base themselves.
Planning Your Return Trip
Heading back the other way, the Koh Ngai to Koh Mook ferry runs on the same seasonal timetable, so check availability for your return date at the same time as your outbound booking, particularly near the edges of the season when the schedule thins out.

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.
