Getting to Koh Kut
Bangkokair offers three daily flights from Suvarnabhumi to Trat airport. Minibuses bring guests from there
to Laem Sok pier in about half an hour drive.
The cheapest way to Trat and Koh Chang is by bus from Ekamai busterminal in Bangkok. There are several buses per day, leaving early morning and needing 5-6 hours drive. The buses usually head for Trat bus terminal, but during high season there are buses directly to Laem Ngop pier. Pickup taxis connect Trat bus terminal with Laem Ngop pier and Laem Sok pier.
Speedboats and a catamaran from Laem Sok pier bring guests to Ao Salad pier or directly to the resorts on Koh Kood. This is the most comfortable way to arrive, since there are not many pick-up taxis on the island. The boats usually start in the morning hours, so that it may be necessary to overnight in Trat, when arriving there from Bangkok. Laem Sok pier is 20 Km south of Trat town.
Speedboats from Koh Chang depart from Bangbao Pier and from Kaibae Hut Pier. They stopover at Makathanee Pier on Koh Mak.
Since 2013 there is also a new catamaran speedboat starting from Laem Sok to Koh Kood and Koh Mak. It services all year round and stops only at Ban Ao Salad in the northeast of Koh Kood, from where pickup taxis bring guests to the resorts.
Boonsiri offers tickets for bus and catamaran starting from Bangkok Khaosan Road to Koh Kut for just 850 Baht one way.
There is also a direct bus from Suvarnabhumi airport. Burapha Bus Company starts in the morning at 7.50 a.m. to Koh Chang and Trat. Local pickups do the transport to Laem Sok pier.
