Chanthaboon Waterfront

Chanthaboon Waterfront

The old riverside quarter of Chanthaburi, with wooden houses and long-running eateries, right on the way; a good lunch stop if your boat time allows.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Chanthaburi

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Chanthaburi

A historic Catholic cathedral by the Chanthaburi River, next to the Chanthaboon waterfront; a short visit is enough.

Trat town

The small town before Laem Sok, with markets and restaurants. If the morning boat is too early, stay the night in Trat and reach the pier in the morning.

Khlong Chao Waterfall, Koh Kood

Khlong Chao Waterfall, Koh Kood

The island's best-known waterfall, with a pool for swimming; strongest towards the end of the rainy season. On the island, use resort transport or rent a vehicle.

Straight to Laem Sok pier

We drop you at the pier entrance so you walk in, collect tickets and board. If your boat company or resort uses another pier, tell us when booking so we confirm the fare.

Planned back from your boat time

There are only a few sailings a day to Koh Kood and some leave by late morning or early afternoon. Send us your ticket time and we work the Bangkok pickup back from it with a comfortable buffer.

One fare from Bangkok or the airport

฿6,500 for a Toyota Commuter or ฿12,000 for a Toyota Alphard per vehicle, the same from your Bangkok home, hotel, Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang, including fuel, tolls, driver and water.

Pre-arranged return pickup

Give us your return date and boat time when booking; the return from Laem Sok costs the same as the outbound and a van is waiting when the boat docks.

Travel tips for this route

  1. Sailings to Koh Kood are limited. For a morning or late-morning boat you may need to leave Bangkok around 5am, or spend a night in Trat first.
  2. Our vans go as far as Laem Sok pier and do not cross to the island. On Koh Kood most resorts collect guests at the pier, so let your resort know in advance.
  3. In the rainy season (roughly June to September) seas can be rough and some sailings are cancelled; check the boat schedule and forecast before travelling.
  4. Shops and ATMs on Koh Kood are few, so bring enough cash. At around 5 hours, plan a break in Rayong or Chanthaburi on the way.

What's included

  • Professional driver who knows the route

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the van cross to Koh Kood?

No, we drop you at Laem Sok pier and you take the boat across, around 1 to 1.5 hours by speedboat. On the island, most resorts collect guests at the pier.

How long from Bangkok to Laem Sok pier?

About 5 hours for the roughly 330 km via Motorway 7 and Sukhumvit Route 3 through Rayong and Chanthaburi, longer on holiday weekends.

Does ฿6,500 include the boat ticket?

No. ฿6,500 is the one-way Commuter charter covering fuel, motorway tolls, driver and water. Boat tickets are paid to the boat company, and accommodation and island transport are separate.

What time do we need to leave Bangkok?

It depends on your boat. Allow about 5 hours of driving plus at least 30–60 minutes to check in at the pier. Send us your ticket time and the team works out the pickup; if the boat leaves very early, we suggest a night in Trat.

Is a pickup from Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang the same price?

Yes. Bangkok and both airports are the same origin zone: ฿6,500 in a Commuter and ฿12,000 in an Alphard. Send your flight number so we can follow your real landing time.

Can we book the return journey in advance?

Yes, and we recommend it. The return from Laem Sok pier to Bangkok or the airport is the same fare as the outbound: Toyota Commuter ฿6,500 or Toyota Alphard ฿12,000 per vehicle. Give us your return date and boat time and a van will be waiting when the boat docks.
