Getting To Koh Mak

[gemmamccarron]

I am planning an independant trip to Koh Mak however i am useless when it comes to travel and seem to have the worst luck possible.

I will be arriving in Trat from a bus from Bangkok and i understand all i need to do is get a Songthiew to Laem Ngob pier and the slow boat is at 3pm and speed boats at various times before and after...... correct??

Is there only one pier in Laem Ngob?? I saw possibly 3 different ones on another website.... if so which one do i need for Koh Mak??

Any other recommendations or advice.......greatly appreciated ;D

See www.kohmak.com for up to date boat times etc.

There are a few piers around Laem Ngop area, two are used by car ferries to Koh Chang, some are private use or for fishing boats only and one is used for the boats to Koh Mak. The pier you need to go to is called ' Krom Luang ' Pier, you'll know you are in the right place as it's next to a big Naval Memorial with old guns & torpedos on it. It's probably easier to just tell songtaew driver you want to go to Koh Mak and let him take to the correct pier.
