Below: what each costs, who runs it, how often it goes and the pier or station it actually leaves from. Fares checked 7 September 2026 and quoted as one-way bands per adult. They move with season, fuel and demand — the flight bands move fastest of all. Our pick for time Bus + ferry (one ticket) 7h30–9h30 · ฿1,020–฿1,470 · Ko Kut Express, Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, Suvarnabhumi Burapha Bus Our pick for budget Bus + ferry (one ticket) ฿1,020–฿1,470 · 7h30–9h30 · Ko Kut Express, Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, Suvarnabhumi Burapha Bus Same option twice: on this pair the quickest way is also the cheapest, which is rarer than it sounds — it usually means one operator has the route to itself. ## All options **Bangkok to Koh Kood: every option with mode, time, fare, operators and frequency** | Option | Time | Fare | Operators | How often | Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bus + ferry (one ticket) | 7h30–9h30 | ฿1,020–฿1,470 | Ko Kut Express, Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, Suvarnabhumi Burapha Bus | Morning departures; the catamarans leave Laem Sok pier around midday | Direct | | Bus + ferry (one ticket) + Speedboat / catamaranReduced or suspended in the June–September low season | 8h55–13h | ฿1,495–฿2,150 | Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, Ko Kut Express | One combined departure from Khao San at about 07:00 · Once or twice daily depending on season | via Koh Chang | ## Booking notes ### Bus + ferry (one ticket) · 7h30–9h30 · ฿1,020–฿1,470 Longest of the eastern-island runs and the one most sensitive to a missed connection — the Laem Sok catamarans are twice-daily, not hourly. Book the bus and boat as one ticket so a late coach is the operator's problem. ### Bus + ferry (one ticket) + Speedboat / catamaran · 8h55–13h · ฿1,495–฿2,150 Bangkok → Koh Chang: One ticket covers the air-conditioned coach to Ao Thammachat pier in Trat and the crossing to Ao Sapparot on Koh Chang, arriving around 14:00. Check-in closes 45 minutes before departure and the ferry does not wait for a late bus that isn't its own. Koh Chang → Koh Kood: Sailings thin out in the June–September low season and some drop entirely; check the current timetable before planning an island-to-island hop rather than a mainland backtrack. ## Both ends of the trip ### Bangkok The arrival point for most trips and the hub every rail and bus line runs back to. Airport BKK / DMK: Two airports 50km apart on opposite sides of the city; a domestic connection between them needs 3 hours, not 1. Bangkok is driest Nov–Apr and wettest May–Oct on its own monthly rain-day normals. [Bangkok weather](https://bestofthailand.org/weather/bangkok) · [Bangkok guide](https://bestofthailand.org/guide/bangkok) ### Koh Kood The far end of the eastern chain — fewest roads, fewest beach bars, longest journey. Airport TDX: Then Laem Sok pier for the catamaran; the transfer is part of most combined tickets. Koh Kood has no weather station of ours; the nearest one we track is driest Nov–Apr and wettest May–Oct. ## Frequently asked questions **How long does it take to get from Bangkok to Koh Kood?** 7h30–9h30 on the quickest option we hold — bus + ferry (one ticket) with Ko Kut Express. The slowest of the 2 options here takes 8h55–13h, so the spread between them is about 2h28. Times are for the scheduled leg and exclude the transfer at either end. **How much is Bangkok to Koh Kood?** From ฿1,020–฿1,470 one way by bus + ferry (one ticket), checked 7 September 2026 — and on this pair that is also the quickest way, so there is nothing to trade off. The dearest of the 2 options here runs to ฿1,495–฿2,150. That band comes from a dated route listing rather than a published tariff, so treat it as indicative. **What else runs between Bangkok and Koh Kood?** 1 other option. The next one after bus + ferry (one ticket) with Ko Kut Express is bus + ferry (one ticket) + speedboat / catamaran with Boonsiri High Speed Ferries at ฿1,495–฿2,150 and 8h55–13h, changing at Koh Chang — dearer and slower. All of them are in the table above with their operators and frequency. **Does the Bangkok to Koh Kood route run all year?** Not every leg of it. 1 of the legs behind these options carries a season note — Koh Chang to Koh Kood by speedboat / catamaran: Reduced or suspended in the June–September low season. At least one option on this page runs year-round, so the route itself does not close — but the choice narrows in the monsoon. **Where does the Bangkok to Koh Kood service leave from, and how often does it run?** Longest of the eastern-island runs and the one most sensitive to a missed connection — the Laem Sok catamarans are twice-daily, not hourly. Book the bus and boat as one ticket so a late coach is the operator's problem. Morning departures; the catamarans leave Laem Sok pier around midday. ## Going the other way, or further The return trip is on the [Koh Kood to Bangkok](https://bestofthailand.org/routes/koh-kood-to-bangkok) page — fares are the same in both directions on almost every leg here, but the timetables are not. To string this hop into a longer trip with a pace check, use the [route planner](https://bestofthailand.org/routes?stops=bangkok,koh-kood&nights=3,4), and see the [island comparison](https://bestofthailand.org/islands) for which coast is dry in the month you are travelling. The Bangkok end of this leg starts at a station or a terminal rather than a hotel door: [getting around Bangkok](https://bestofthailand.org/getting-around) has the BTS, MRT and boat fares for reaching Hua Lamphong, Krung Thep Aphiwat and the two bus terminals, and [airport to city](https://bestofthailand.org/airport) covers the Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang runs if the leg is a flight. ## Sources - [Bookaway Bangkok–Koh Kood route listings](https://www.bookaway.com/routes/thailand/bangkok-to-koh-kood) — aggregator listings, not a published tariff. - [FerrySamui Bangkok–Koh Chang route page](https://www.ferrysamui.com/route-bangkok-koh-chang.html) — a dated route reference. - [Boonsiri High Speed Ferries route and season pages](https://www.boonsiriferry.com/) — the carrier's own fare board.
