Travel from Laem Sok to Koh Mak and Koh Kood, two of Thailand’s most popular tourists destinations. The ferries run frequently throughout the week, with crossings to Koh Kood lasting around an hour and crossings to Koh Mak taking only around 20 minutes. It is a huge commercial port, offering tourists the chance to buy souvenirs and sample the local cuisine in quaint cafes. For those interested in browsing the shops, Harbor Mall lays on the main road next to the port and hosts a couple of supermarkets, perfect for any last minute purchases. The crossings are typically quite short meaning there is a lack of facilities whilst on board the vessels, so it is best advised that passengers bring their own food and drink. Despite the volume of traffic passing through the port, there are limited options for public transport to the ferry terminals. The train service is regarded as slow and infrequent whilst the buses only run from the capital city of Bangkok to Pattaya - another port in Thailand. The most worthwhile option is to arrange a transfer from one of the private taxi services, or risk a metred taxi but they can oftentimes be relatively expensive. Baht is usually the only currency accepted in Thailand, with the best exchange rates given to US dollars. There are numerous ATM’s dotted around the area for any emergency cash.
With the vast majority of Thailand’s islands becoming a hotbed for tourists, Koh Kood Port is found on the coast of an island largely untouched by western travellers. For those that prefer to spend their holiday time engaged in tranquility, surrounded by stunning beaches and gorgeous landscapes, Koh Kood is the idyllic setting. The only way onto the island is by a boat from the mainland; the remote location and limited travel to the island are the primary reasons for its peaceful vibe and that looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. The port of Koh Kood is mainly used as a gateway to the Thailand mainland, with an average of two crossings provided per day. Considering it is the only form of transport away from the island, it’s important to the residents and tourists that the ferry runs fairly frequently, allowing passengers the chance to explore livelier areas of Thailand. The ferry route is provided by the high speed express boats belonging to Boonsiri High Speed Ferries, though the times and duration of the crossings can vary from season to season. There is limited transport around the island, in keep with the quiet, simplistic nature, so getting around the place can prove tricky. Most visitors tend to rely on taxis because of the lack of public transport, though most resorts will book a taxi for their customers.
