About Laem Sok Pier
Laem Sok is the pier on the Trat coast where Boonsiri's catamarans leave for Koh Mak and Koh Kood. In the October to May timetable, boats leave for Koh Mak at 10:30, 13:15 and 15:30 and for Koh Kood at 10:45, 13:15 and 15:45, both for ฿550, and the morning boat reaches Koh Mak in about 45 minutes. Boonsiri's buses from Bangkok and vans from Trat airport connect with them, so most people arrive here on a through ticket.
If you're coming independently, I'd aim for the morning boat and leave time for the drive, because the pier is about 40 minutes from Trat town and there's no regular public transport to it.
