Koh Ngai to Satun Ferry: Routes, Operators and Booking Info

Traveling from Koh Ngai to Satun connects Koh Ngai, a small island off the coast of Trang province in the Andaman Sea, with Satun, a mainland province near the Thai-Malaysian border. This route is a practical option for travelers island-hopping between Trang's coral islands and the piers that serve southern Andaman crossings, including onward connections toward Langkawi.

Seasonal Availability

This route operates seasonally, running during January to April and October to December. Outside these months, monsoon conditions in the Andaman Sea make the crossing unreliable, so services are suspended. If you are searching outside the active season, check the Koh Lanta to Satun ferry schedule for an alternative Andaman connection, or plan your Koh Ngai to Satun trip within the confirmed operating window shown on this page.

Transport Options and Operators

The crossing is typically made by speed boat, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Onboard facilities include onboard facilities, making the journey comfortable for travelers carrying luggage or diving gear between islands.

Journey Duration and Schedule

The trip takes approximately the scheduled journey time, with 3 available during the active season. Exact departure times can shift with tides and weather, so always confirm the latest schedule when you book rather than relying on a fixed clock time.

Departure and Arrival Points

Boats depart from the Koh Ngai pier and arrive at Satun's mainland pier, the usual gateway for travelers continuing to Pak Bara, Satun town, or the Malaysian border crossing. Nearby islands such as Koh Mook and Koh Kradan are served by related departures from the same stretch of coast, so travelers combining several islands in one trip can often plan connecting legs from the same piers.

Price and Booking

Fares on this route start from ฿1,050, though prices can vary by operator, cabin class, and how far in advance you book. Booking ahead is recommended during peak travel weeks, since seat availability on smaller boats is limited.

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.

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.

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.
