Bang Bao
Getting there and away
Boat
The Bang Bao Boat runs to Ko Wai 400B, Ko Maak 450B and Ko Kut 600B, leaving at 09:00 and returning at 13:00, though timetabled times change frequently, so double check once you're on the island.
The Island Hopper is a slower, fishing style boat which does a round trip from Bang Bao to Ko Wai, Ko Kham and Ko Maak and back. It leaves daily at 09:00, arriving at Ko maak just before midday, via a snorkelling break on Ko Wai. This boat has a small toilet and some deck chair seating -- during good weather it's a great trip, very scenic, and the snorkelling around Ko Wai is stunning -- recommended.
Both of these boats can be booked at almost any of the millions of booking agencies dotted around the island.
