How to get from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon
Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon
Travelling from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon usually means a connection through Pakbara Pier on the mainland, since there is no regular boat that sails directly between the two islands. This route operates seasonally, from January to April and October to December — outside this window the booking engine will show no available crossings, so if you are travelling off-season you will need to check for an alternative routing or wait until services resume. If you're planning the return leg, see the Koh Bulon to Koh Ngai ferry schedule for departure details in the other direction.
How to get from Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon
The typical journey starts with a boat from Koh Ngai to Pakbara Pier, followed by a separate speedboat connection onward to Koh Bulon. Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club operates part of this route using a speed boat, with facilities including onboard facilities. Some operators, including Bundhaya Speed Boat, advertise a link from Koh Ngai, but published timetables, fares, and journey times for that specific leg are not currently available — confirm these directly with the operator or at the pier before you travel.
Journey time and prices
Where full details are published, the Pakbara Pier to Koh Bulon leg takes around the scheduled journey time, with fares starting from ฿1,050 per person. Total travel time for the full Koh Ngai to Koh Bulon journey will run longer once the transfer and any waiting time at Pakbara Pier are included, so build in some flexibility around your connection, especially at the start and end of the operating season when boats can run less frequently.
Departures and frequency
Sailings run 2 during the operating season. Frequency can vary by month and by operator, and some connections may require an overnight stop at Pakbara or on the mainland if timings don't align, so it's worth checking the exact departure and arrival points for both legs of your journey before booking.
Departure and arrival points
Boats leave from the main pier on Koh Ngai and arrive at Pakbara Pier, the principal mainland gateway for this part of the Andaman coast. From there, onward boats depart for Koh Bulon's pier. Keep in mind that Pakbara Pier is on the mainland, not on Koh Ngai itself — travellers connecting through it should allow enough time between arrival and the next departure, particularly during quieter periods of the season.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
