The route

Koh Kood is Thailand’s up-market, harder-to-reach island at the far end of the Trat coast. This private transfer covers the ~4-hour drive from Pattaya down to Laem Sok — the mainland pier where boats depart for the island. Your driver takes you door-to-pier; the onward speedboat or ferry to Koh Kood is booked separately and is not included in the transfer price. The value is a comfortable, fixed-price drive to a pier that is otherwise awkward to reach from Pattaya by public transport.

Questions travellers ask
Is the boat to the island included?
No. The price covers the private drive to Laem Sok pier only. The speedboat or ferry across to Koh Kood is booked separately.
Where does the driver drop me?
At Laem Sok pier in Trat province, the mainland departure point for Koh Kood boats. From there you take your onward speedboat or ferry to the island.
Do I need to book the island boat in advance?
No — there is no need. Boats across to Koh Kood run frequently through the day and there is almost always space on board, so it is more convenient to arrive at the pier and hop on the next departure than to tie yourself to a specific boat bought in advance. Just tell us your timing and we drop you at Laem Sok in good time to catch the next boat.
How much is the island boat, and where do I buy the ticket?
The island boat is paid separately — we deliberately keep it out of the transfer price so you are never double-charged. Budget roughly 300–600 ฿ per person each way, depending on the time of day and whether you take a fast speedboat or the slower ferry. Tickets are sold at Laem Sok pier, and on the island most hotel receptions can arrange them for the return.
Do I pay in advance?
No — payment for the transfer is to the driver on the day.
How do I book a transfer?
Send your date, time, route, number of passengers and luggage by WhatsApp or email. We reply with a written confirmation naming your driver — usually within a couple of hours.
Which payment methods do you accept?
You pay the driver directly on the day, in cash (Thai baht preferred). No card details, deposit or prepayment are needed to reserve.
Can you provide a child or baby seat?
Yes. Baby and booster seats are available on request for a small add-on per seat — just tell us your children’s ages when you book. Child seats aren’t required by Thai law, so it’s entirely your choice; we’re glad to fit them if you’d like the extra peace of mind.
How much luggage can I bring?
Each vehicle class has a luggage limit tied to its passenger count. Tell us your bag count when booking and we assign the right vehicle — a sedan suits a couple with standard cases; larger groups take an SUV, minivan or minibus.
Will I get the exact vehicle model I booked?
You always get at least the class you booked — and sometimes better. When it suits our schedule we may send a larger or higher-class vehicle (for example a minivan or minibus in place of a sedan) at no extra charge and without prior notice. You are never downgraded, and the price never changes.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; within 24 hours a 20% fee applies, because by then your driver has set the day aside and turned down other work. In all honesty this runs on trust — nothing is prepaid, so the fee is a matter of good faith, not something we chase. If a driver has held the day for you, we simply ask that you do right by them. Delays or emergencies beyond your control are always penalty-free — just message us as early as you can. A no-show — no one at the pickup and no word from you — is charged 100% of the fare.
Do the drivers speak English?
Our drivers handle the essentials in English, and our booking team communicates fully in English, French and German before and during your trip.
Is the price per vehicle or per person?
The quoted price is per vehicle, not per person — the whole car is yours. It already includes tolls and, on island routes, the vehicle-ferry ticket.
