Satun to Phuket Ferry and Transport
Traveling between Satun and Phuket combines a short sea crossing with road transfers, since no single ferry runs the whole way. Most travelers cover the route using a combination of speed boat services booked as one through-ticket, with Bundhaya Speed Boat handling the main legs. Typical journey time is about 7 minutes, and fares start from ฿3,150 per person depending on the operator and how far in advance you book.
When this route operates
This connection is seasonal and does not run all year. Services operate during selected months of the year, which follows the sea conditions and tourist demand in this part of southern Thailand. If you are searching outside this window, the booking engine on this route will show no available departures — that is expected, not an error. Travelers needing to move between Satun and Phuket outside the operating season should plan on the road-and-air alternative instead, connecting via Hat Yai or Krabi, and should check back closer to the next operating window for ferry availability to reopen.
Departure points, arrival points and schedule
Departures from Satun are typically arranged from the town's pier or a nearby jetty used for onward island and mainland connections, with arrival on the Phuket side at the main pier serving road transfer to hotels across the island. Within the operating season, 1 are available, though exact departure and arrival times vary by operator and by day of week, so always confirm the specific sailing time shown at checkout rather than assuming a fixed schedule.
Operators, comfort and what is included
Bundhaya Speed Boat is the operator currently listed for this route, and the service includes onboard facilities on board or during the transfer legs, which is worth checking against your own comfort needs, especially for longer road sections. Tickets are usually combined tickets covering both the sea and land portions, so you do not need to book each leg separately.
Booking this route
Because seats and vehicle transfer space are limited during peak weeks of the operating season, it is worth booking your Satun to Phuket ticket as soon as your travel dates are fixed rather than waiting until arrival. Enter your travel date to see live availability, confirmed pricing from ฿3,150, and the current departure options for Bundhaya Speed Boat before you pay. If you are planning the return leg, the Phuket to Satun ferry and transfer schedule covers the same combined service in the opposite direction, including its own seasonal availability.
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.
