Phuket to Koh Bulon Ferry: Route Overview

Travelling from Phuket to Koh Bulon takes you from Phuket's busy tourist coast to one of the Andaman Sea's quieter island escapes. There is currently no single direct speedboat running the whole way between Phuket and Koh Bulon, so the journey is completed with a connection rather than one continuous sailing. Booking the route as a through-ticket still gets you from door to island, with the transfer handled as part of the same itinerary.

Transport Options and Operators

The route is served using speed boat, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, and the connecting leg is coordinated so you are not left arranging your own transfer on arrival. Because Koh Bulon is a small island with limited pier infrastructure, services are seasonal and operators may adjust routing without much notice, so it's worth confirming your specific connection at the time of booking.

Journey Duration, Schedule and Frequency

Total journey time for the Phuket to Koh Bulon route is the scheduled journey time, and 1 run the connection. Services operate during all year round; outside this window, sailings to Koh Bulon are reduced or suspended, as is normal for this part of the Andaman coast. Exact departure times vary by operator and by season, so always check the live schedule shown on this page before finalising your travel dates, particularly if you have an onward flight or hotel check-in to meet.

Prices and What's Included

Fares for this route start from ฿2,450 per person. Prices can vary depending on the operator, the season, and whether the transfer leg is bundled into a single through-fare, so use the price shown against your selected departure rather than assuming a fixed rate.

Departure and Arrival Points

Departure is from Phuket, with the connecting service delivering you to Koh Bulon. Confirm your exact pick-up point when booking, since Phuket has multiple pier and hotel-transfer options depending on the operator you choose.

FAQ

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.
