Bakri Cono website is easy: www.bakricono.com

 

BUT

 

Bakri Cono is not owner or operating this ferry.

Refer to http://www.thailivingferry.com

The ferry is running three times per week.

 

Originally Bakri Cono built the boat; same as the one at Koh Mak Island.

Throughout construction this owner made changes and modifications.

Eventually also wanted to change the hull design below water line which we did not agree with.

The owner took delivery of the ferry and made those modification on his own, took him more than a year.
