- Getting to the wonderful island of Koh Kut isn’t as difficult as it might seem when planning a trip. The first part is you’ll have to figure out how to get from Bangkok to Trat. The last part of the journey will be by passenger boat as there aren’t any vehicle ferres to the island. So traveling door to door in the same vehicle isn’t possible.
Many take the bus to Trat and then spend a night in the town before traveling to the island the next morning. It’s also possible to fly and do the ferry trip the the island that day or the next morning. Either way that is the most difficult part. Once you are in Trat the next step is to get to the ferry pier at Laem Sok.
I show you how to get from Trat to the pier and then to the island with a final destination being my hotel on the opposite side of the island.
Ferries to Koh Kood depart from the mainland pier at Laem Sok, Trat. There aren’t any vehicle ferries, only passenger boats. These are run by four companies - Boonsiri Ferry, Seudamgo, Koh Kood Princess and Ko Kut Express. They all their their own ticket offices near the pier
During the High Season, the first boat of the day is at 09:00 and the last at 14:20. Therefore, if you are coming from Bangkok you will need to make an early start. Many visitors opt to stay a night in Trat town and then the next morning come to Koh Kood.
The boat companies all provide transport from hotels in Trat to the ferry pier. This is by local pick up truck taxi, called a ‘songtaew’. When you arrive on Koh Kood you don’t have to worry about hoe to get to your resort as the boat ticket also includes transport from the pier at Ao Salad bay to resorts on the island.
Boats run daily all year round, but there is a reduced service from mid-May to mid-October. And all hotels can book boat tickets for you. Ticket price ranges from 350 to 700 Baht per person.
You’ll find up to date timetables and more information about the different boat services to Koh Kood on KohKoodFerries.com
The trip is very easy to manage and you won’t be disappointed when you get to the wonderful island of Koh Kut (Koh Kood).

Koh Kut is a beautiful island in the far east of Thailand. It’s east of one of the most popular islands, Koh Chang. I made a video of getting to Koh Change also and here is the link if you want to see how to get there also.

Wow... Detailed Information with everything you need to Travel from Trat to Koh Koot.
Good Countryside View around during the bike journey.
I hope it helps. The ferry pier is a bit out of town so it’s good to know if you are trying to put together a plan.
Interesting to see
It’s not on our next travel list for upcoming trip but interesting
The island is very nice. It felt to me and my wife like Koh Chang from when we first went there before all of the development. I will be posting some videos after I get them edited. Klong Jao Beach was worth going to the island by itself.
May I ask if they allow to bring bicycle onto the ferry?
I don’t think you can. I didn’t see anyone taking them or any signs for them. You could check on the websites for the ferry companies. These are the 4 that operate ferries to the island.
Boonsiri Ferry, Seudamgo, Koh Kood Princess and Ko Kut Express
Part of the cost of the ferry ticket is transfer to your hotel from the pier so they may not want a bike in the back of a songtaw. I’m not sure about that just speculating. It was pretty crowded for us and it seemed like normal to get as many people into the back of them as possible.
I hope that helps and sorry I don’t have more information for you. I hope what I provided is helpful to you. If you are going to the island enjoy! I am ready to go back and visit again. I really enjoyed my stay there.
You didn't mention how long does it take from Trat to the Island?
It takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the pier. It’s 32 Km or so. The time from the pier to the island depends on which boat you take. There are speed boats that are about 50 minutes and the slowest boat is around 70 minutes. I hope that helps.
