It\\&#8217;s small, quiet, and has very limited accommodation, which keeps it from getting overcrowded. Getting there from Bangkok means flying or taking an overnight train to Trang, then catching a ferry from the mainland pier.<\/p>\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/agent.12go.asia\/tools\/widget\/country_widget.js\"><\/script>\n<onetwogo-country-widget\n  country=\"TH\"\n   width=\"400\" agent=\"16173966\" lang=\"en\" fxcode=\"USD\" wl=\"12go.asia\">\n<\/onetwogo-country-widget>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Bangkok\/Koh-Kradan\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=bangkok-koh-kradan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Bangkok \u2192 Koh Kradan tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#x26a0;&#xfe0f; Koh Kradan is only accessible November\u2013April.

The main operator is Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club \u2014 book in advance in peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pier:<\/strong> Pak Meng (40 min from Trang town by taxi\/minivan)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Journey time:<\/strong> 1\u20131.5 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> 350\u2013500 THB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season:<\/strong> November\u2013April<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Trang\/Koh-Kradan\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=trang-koh-kradan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Trang \u2192 Koh Kradan tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Journey Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Leg<\/th><th>Method<\/th><th>Time<\/th><th>Cost from<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Bangkok \u2192 Trang<\/td><td>Flight<\/td><td>1.5 hrs<\/td><td>900 THB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bangkok \u2192 Trang<\/td><td>Overnight train<\/td><td>14\u201316 hrs<\/td><td>800 THB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trang \u2192 Koh Kradan<\/td><td>Ferry<\/td><td>1\u20131.5 hrs<\/td><td>400 THB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay on Koh Kradan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Kradan has only a handful of resorts \u2014 it\\&#8217;s one of the least commercialised Trang Islands. Seven Seas Resort is the most established option. There are a few cheaper bungalow operations too.
