Step 2: Check-In

Please make sure to check in 15–30 minutes before your departure time, as required by each boat operator. Once you complete your booking, your confirmation will include the specific check-in details. There are several boat operators serving this route—some require passengers to check in at the pier before boarding, while others will have staff checking tickets directly when the boat arrives. The main pier for boat departures on Koh Mak is Ao Nid Pier.

Step 3: Departure

Boats from Koh Mak generally depart on time, so it’s important to arrive early for check-in. Most boats do not offer seat selection, so seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. The majority of boats travel between Koh Mak and Laem Sok Pier on the mainland. Travel time ranges from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the boat operator and type of vessel. There are various types of boats in service, including speedboats, catamarans, and large catamarans that can accommodate 150–200 passengers.

Step 3: Transfer to a bus or van 

After getting off the boat, staff will assist you in finding and boarding the appropriate bus or van. Since there are several operators, different types of vehicles may be used depending on your booking. Once you’re on board, you can take some time to relax and enjoy a short rest during the transfer. Due to the distance between the pier and Pattaya—approximately 300 kilometers—you will be on the bus for about 4 to 5 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. It’s a good idea to bring water, snacks, or anything you need to stay comfortable during the journey.

Step 4: Arrival

Each operator has its own designated drop-off location in Pattaya, which may include their company office or convenient landmarks such as HomeWorks Mall or Big C Mall. These drop-off points are selected for their easy access to major areas around the city, making it simple for you to reach your hotel or any popular destination in Pattaya with minimal hassle.

Private Travel Options

Private Boat Rental

You can opt for a private speedboat rental, which takes about 30-60 minutes to travel from Ao Nid Pier (Koh Mak) to Laem Sok Pier (Trat). This option offers more privacy and flexibility, with guaranteed availability of the boat.

You can also rent a private car to travel directly from Koh Mak to Pattaya. The trip takes about 5-6 hours (not including the boat crossing).
