Koh Ngai is an island between Trang and Koh Lanta, reached year-round by speedboat from Pak Meng Pier or, in high season, by a direct ferry from Koh Lanta's Ban Saladan Pier.
Good to knowTiming matters
A direct ferry from Koh Lanta only runs in the November-April high season; outside that window, the year-round speedboat from Pak Meng Pier in Trang is the reliable option — confirm current crossing times before travel.

A quieter, less-developed cove reached by a roughly half-hour jungle-trail walk south from Long Beach.

Getting there & around
Getting there
Speedboats from Pak Meng Pier in Trang run year-round, with crossing times reported as roughly 20-30 minutes depending on the source; a slower tour/passenger boat from the same pier is a lower-fare alternative better suited to more luggage or larger groups. In the November-April high season, a direct ferry also runs from Koh Lanta's Ban Saladan Pier, arriving around 10am from an 8am departure.
