Thailand - Getting There
Getting to Koh Ngai Island:
The best way to get to the island is to catch the Nok Air flight to Trang mentioned below and we will help arrange your transfers from the airport
Air: Fly to Trang Airport. Flights depart Bangkok with Nok Air, www.nokair.com. We can arrange transfers for you (van and boat) to the resort from the airport. Flights are inexpensive and can be booked online. The flights take approx 1 hour 20 minutes.
There are no public boats going to Koh Ngai. If making your own way to Pakmeng Pier, please try to arrive at the pier by 11:30am to catch the 12pm speedboats (450 baht) run by the larger resorts on the island--Fantasy Resort, Koh Ngai Resort, etc. There is usually a 4:30pm slow boat (takes 50-60 min.) that also runs daily, but availability depends on the resort's own guests. Private long tail boats (1200-1500 baht) can be arranged for various times throughout the day. The latest time of departure for all boats is about 5:30pm. Please note that all boats need to be booked in advance.
