Look for songthaews that are marked for Bang Sare, and the fare is usually around 20-30 THB. The journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes. Once you arrive at Bang Sare, head directly to the pier area where you will find several boat operators offering trips to Ko Rin. Prices for boat trips can vary, so it’s advisable to negotiate or check for group rates. The boat ride itself will take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on sea conditions.
