About Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club

Company Information

Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club is an operator based in the southern province of Satun that offers tours, transport services and speedboat charters.

Routes served by Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club

Speedboats

The most popular speedboat routes include:
Koh Lipe–Koh Phi Phi: the journey takes around 4 hours and is quite pricy at THB2.600; but it is the fastest way to travel between the two destinations.
Koh Lipe–Langkawi: a 2h30m sea journey brings you from Thailand to Malaysia and costs THB1.200. It is probably the easiest way to cross the border between Malaysia and Thailand, especially if you travel from Langkawi to Koh Lipe.
Koh Lanta–Phuket: probably not the most obvious way to travel between the two islands but definitely the fastest one at 1h30m and THB1.500. Buses and minivans do a cheaper but a lot longer job.

Minivans

Pak Bara is a transport hub with plenty of services to some of the most popular destinations in Thailand including Krabi and Koh Lanta. It is possible to charter entire vehicles for your group, whether you are travelling in small or larger groups.

From Pak Bara, you can hire a minivan with capacity for nine passengers to take your group to either Hat Yai town or airport for THB2,500. If your group has up to four passengers then you can hire a private car instead for THB2,000.

Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club also offers a transfer between Hat Yai’s airport and town for THB1,200 and THB 800 for a minivan and private car respectively.

Solo travellers are also catered for with two minivan services each day at 11.00 and 15.00 heading from Pak Bara to Hat Yai. Travellers can purchase one seat in the minivan priced at THB250 for the two hour journey.

Krabi is one of the most popular destinations among tourists and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club offers transfers from Pak Bara. Minivans can be chartered for THB5,500 and private cars are priced at THB4,000. You can also purchase one seat on the daily service between Pak Bara and Krabi at 11.00. Tickets for this route are priced at THB550 and scheduled to arrive at 14.00. Those looking to head to Koh Lanta can pick Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club with the option of minivans priced at THB6,000 and private cars costing THB4,200. Solo travellers can reserve a spot in the minivan service that departs Pak Bara at 11.00 each day, with tickets for the five hour trip priced at THB600.

Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club also offers international departures to Malaysia and Singapore each day. From Hat Yai it is possible to visit popular destinations including Kuala Lumpur and Penang. There is one service from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur each day at 18.30 and tickets priced at THB650 per person. This service travels throughout the night and is scheduled to arrive in the Malaysian capital at around 03.30 the following morning.

There is also a daily departure from Hat Yai to Penang at 15.30 and tickets for the four hour trip priced at THB550.

Those looking to travel from Hat Yai to Singapore have two daily services to choose from, departing at 13.30 and 18.00 each day. Tickets for both these services are priced at THB1,200.

Pros

There is a wide range of departures to choose from whether you wish to travel within Thailand or to cross the border from Hat Yai into Malaysia. This will no doubt be highly convenient for travellers who can choose a service and departure time that will suit their schedules.

Those travelling in groups have the option of hiring private minivans or cars which can be more comfortable and more cost-effective, depending on the number of passengers.

Cons

As frequent travellers will know, trips on minivans are often not the most comfortable mode of transport and luggage can sometimes be an issue as space is limited.

Delays can be common on these routes, especially when you are required to change from one mode of transport to another, such as switching from minivan to boat on hour way to Koh Lanta.

Keep in mind

Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club also offers overnight packages that include accommodation and snorkeling trips to islands such as Koh Lipe.

Travellers Reviews

The choice of routes and departures make Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club one of the most popular options in this region, offering services to a range of destinations from Krabi to Singapore. The transport hub of Hat Yai is connected to most of the destinations served by Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club so it is easy to head onto cities such as Bangkok or destinations in Malaysia.

The trip was alright, everything was on time, but the van and the speedboat are too packed! Almost two hours in a full small van and then two more hours on a full speedboat. But would do it again for a stay on Koh lipe!

They put extra 2 stops in between for about 20-30 minutes wich are really unnecessary (like stopping on a „nationalpark island“ wich we have to pay for in advance, even if you don’t want to visit it.

Cafe not open when all the customers are waiting for the boat. Queue to give ticket to one girl, then get it back from another, then show again to a third girl, etc etc. But, overall, we got there in the end

Well the only part I didn't like and was not aware when I was buying a tickets is that while on speed boat we stopped twice on some islands on a way with not really any reason since there was nothing and it took us to gather and be moving next 1 hour extra. I would not mind this sight seeing, but after 3 hours on a bus I was just thinking about getting into Koh Lipe as soon as possible...

Well organised and nice ferry. We arrived 1.5h before departure to get the immigration paper work done which takes a bit of time. Ferry ride was comfortable and went quick!

We went from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Mook, we had to change boats in Koh Lanta, overall the boat was about 30 Minutes late. The boat from Koh Lanta to Koh Mook/Lipe was very crowded, some people didn‘t get a seat, which is not acceptable for this price.

Pier has poor signage only one sign in desk. Boat was on time however there was an issue with the motor so had to stop numerous times. Ride was extremely tough as I don’t think the Capitan could get up on plane they strangely shuffled everyone to the back which makes no sense. I have rode and driven speed boats many times and you need to trim properly to make it a smooth ride. Worst ride ever. Luggage was shifting all over the place life jackets everywhere. They lost my sandels which they said it would be fine. Would not recommend

The boat itself and the logistics work very well. Though I did not expect being in a boat on rough sea without the ability to see outside the boat could be so nauseating.

The ticket stated we would be dropped off at bulone resort. We were transferred to a long tail boat the other side of the island and we’re charged 50 bht per person to get to the resort,not a happy customer

We paid for taxi + ferry then told it would cost additional 100% fare (1 person) to service our hotel. Asked for a refund of the taxi portion of which was declined - with reference to “policy”. Total waste of money. Speed boat trip was incredibly rough. We have a toddler and it knocked us all around way too much. Took the slow ferry home and it was so much better than this speed boat.

Everything went smoothly. The check-in was unproblematic. The speedboat left on time and brought us to our destination on time. It was not crowded and everything made a very professional impression.

We would definitely recommend it if you want to check your back and neck stress capacity. We suffered severe back again for two days after the trip. The captain didn't pay any attention to the comfort of the passengers and he was slamming us in every possible wave. I am a 28 years old sports guys and I found extremely difficult to hold me self on my seat. It's way better to spare one more hour and take the ferry to have a joyful experience

Excellent service. Went to the port the day before we departed just to look around and the Speedboat company offered us a free transfer from our Hotel to the harbour. This saved us a taxi fare. Brilliant

Phuket transfer is only in a small area free, we should pay 700 baht, but took a taxi for 400 baht. Ferry started right in time but was 30min late in Koh Lanta

Everything went well until we were very close to Koh Lanta and the boat needed fuel and so we had to raft to another boat and pick it up on water, of course then we were delayed and arrived an hour later than originally planned. However these things happen and it was also fun to watch the whole thing and how relaxed the team was. :)

Combined speed boat and minivan was not really good idea. We arrived at Hat Yai Rail Station and have been waiting the driver for almost two hours and the speed boat was late.
