How to get from Pattaya to Koh Kood
Searching for the best pattaya to koh kood ferry route? Traveling from Pattaya to Koh Kood requires combining transport options, as there is no direct ferry service between these two locations. Most journeys involve traveling to a mainland port or island hub before reaching Koh Kood. This guide covers your available routes, operators, and booking options to help you plan your trip.
Journey Overview
Koh Kood is Thailand's fourth-largest island, located in the eastern Gulf near the Cambodian border. Getting there from Pattaya involves either a long-distance journey by minivan or bus combined with a ferry, or taking a private transfer to a connecting point. The total journey typically takes several hours depending on your chosen route and connection timing.
Transport Options to Koh Kood
Minivan and Ferry Combination
A minivan from Pattaya to Laem Sok (the main pier for Koh Kood) is the most common option for independent travelers. The minivan handles the overland portion, and you'll board a ferry at Laem Sok for the crossing to Koh Kood. Journey duration varies based on traffic and ferry schedules.
Bus Services
Long-distance buses also serve the route to Koh Kood, though they typically require connections. Some buses travel directly to Laem Sok, while others stop at nearby towns where you can arrange onward transport to the pier.
Private Transfer
For maximum convenience, a private transfer from your Pattaya hotel to Laem Sok pier eliminates connection hassles. This option costs more but saves time and offers flexibility for your schedule.

Planning Your Trip: Tips for a Smooth Connection
Because this route involves at least two connecting legs, allow some buffer time between your minivan or bus arrival at Laem Sok and your ferry departure.

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.
