Where to catch ferries from Phuket to the nearby islands?
Phuket is an island surrounded by more islands, some of them, such as Phi Phi Islands, are world-famous, so it is not a surprise why there are so many piers all around. We list them here to help you locate them on the map and plan your trip if you need to get them directly from Phuket Airport. Most piers are on the island’s east coast, and some are on the south.
Rassada Pier
Goes to Phi Phi Island, Krabi, Koh Lanta
Rassada Pier is a harbour on the east coast of Phuket Town, on the way to Koh Sirey. This is where you will most likely catch a ferry to Phi Phi island, Krabi and Koh Lanta. You can buy your ferry ticket directly at the pier, but surprisingly, it will be more expensive than buying it online! There are an ATM machine, a currency exchange counter and a few restaurants. You can leave your car for the day in the vast parking.
Laem Hin Pier
Goes to Rang Yai, Rang Noi, Koh Maphrao
Laem Hin Pier is where you can ride the longtail boats that take you to Rang Yai Island, Rang Noi (a private island with its own resort) and Koh Maphrao, where the Village Coconut Island Resort is.
Bang Rong Pier
Goes to Koh Yao Islands and Koh Naka
Bang Rong Pier on the northeast coast is where you can get a local boat to Koh Yao islands and the nearby Koh Naka.
Ao Por Pier
Ao Por Pier is 14 km from the well-known Heroine’s monument.
Rawai Pier
Goes to Coral Island, Koh Lone, Koh Bon, Maiton Island and Racha Island
Rawai Pier is a long concrete deck where you will board to reach Coral Island (Koh Hae), Koh Lone, Koh Bon and Racha Island. Alternatively, you can get a longtail boat to those destinations directly from Rawai Beach nearby. Rawai Pier is also frequently used to board diving boats.
Chalong Pier
Goes to Coral Island, Koh Lone, Koh Bon, Maiton Island and Racha Island
Chalong Pier is the main pier of Phuket, where a lot of dive boats and private boats are anchored. Similarly to the Rawai pier, boats here will take you to Coral Island (Koh Hae), Koh Lone, Koh Bon and Racha Island.
Royal Phuket Marina
Goes to Phang Nga, Phi Phi Islands and Similans
Royal Phuket Marina, on the east coast of Phuket, is where you often board speedboats and private cruises to Phang Nga Bay, Phi Phi Islands and Similan Islands.
Phuket Boat Lagoon
Goes to Phang Nga, Phi Phi Islands and Similans
Phuket Boat Lagoon, just like the Royal Phuket Marina mentioned above (and located just next to it), is also where you will often board speedboats and private tours to Phang Nga, Phi Phi Islands and Similan Islands as well as custom-designed island-hopping cruises. Read more

Born in France a long long time ago, I started to travel the world early until I settled in Phuket in 1994. For the past 30 years, my passion for photography and my curiosity have taken me to every corner of Phuket, Bangkok and everywhere I could go in Thailand. My goal is to share my discoveries, photos and tips to help travellers plan their holidays by making Phuket 101 as easy as possible to use for everyone!
