Family of 5 arriving with the Air Asia afternoon flight at Trang airport. How best and most comfortably to transfer to Koh Ngai (not necessarly looking for cheapest solution)?

My wife who used to work on Koh Ngai and is from Trang, she phoned an old colleague in Koh Ngai and according to them the best solution is firstly to see if your resort offers a package as it's probably organised well. They will sometimes organise a chartered ferry. The regular one only runs once a day at the moment at midday.

If you really wish to do it yourself she recommends a taxi to Pak Meng pier (price unknown, but could be 1200) and then a longtail boat (takes 1 hour, 1500 for the whole boat). You could rent a speedboat (30 mins) but you'd be looking at 2-3 times the price and it's not a lot more comfortable. My wife recommends the Jarawee boat company for either longtail or speedboat.

The boat was over an hour late when we travelled recently.
