Hi Craig, as far as we are aware there are no marinas on Ko Pagan.
The nearest marina to this group of islands is south in Malaysia – Terengganu

Or north to Racer Marina at Pranburi just south of Huahin.

found excellent mechanic and electrical services guy in Koi Samui…. highly recommended David Lloyd mobile phone number +66 623276635… rebuilt my generator, Yamaha engine, various pumps and hydraulics (lift)… finally an expert in Koi Samui..
Although there is not a marina on Samui I understand there is one on Ko Pagan. Does anyone have contact or other info?
Probably you are already aware, but in case not or in case of others attempting the same logistics exercise for the first time, a ‘re-entry’ permit is needed in order that the non-O visa not be invalidated. If invalidated, the application procedure has to be repeated upon return to Thailand. I just completed the non-O visa application, 1-year extension and re-entry permit procedure myself. FYI and thanks for the info about Koh Samui.
Reported by Martina & Reinhard Moedl:
Following information which might be interesting to other sailors (October 2017):
Our yacht flies the Malaysian flag, my wife and crew, as well as myself, are Austrian citizens, we both have one-year non-O visas for Thailand.
Coming from Terengganu, Malaysia, we cleared in at Koh Samui (my wife as a passenger). In Koh Samui, I tried to get information about the requirements for departing to Europe by plane whilst leaving the yacht in Thailand. Immigration on Koh Samui was unable to give me any information and told me to ask at Customs. Customs explained several times (including the boss of the desk-officer), that there is no requirement. They said, “Just take your luggage and travel home“.
After arriving in Koh Chang, we contacted the Laem Ngop Immigration office. Here we were told about the correct procedure which is as follows:
– Bring ALL required documents to the Immigration office – in paper-copy (Passport, contract with marina, plane ticket incl. return-flight).
– Pay a deposit of THB 20.000 which will be refunded on your return to Thailand back at the Immigration office.
– I received an envelope which I had to hand over to the Immigration officer at the airport on departure.
Everything was clear, smooth and without any needs of discussion.
BTW:
The Harbour captain in Koh Samui wants to get paid a “personal fee“ of THB 500 for each clear-in / clear-out. Negotiation, therefore, is required, don´t pay more than THB 200, better zero, of course.
