Phuket Piers and Ferries to the islands


Where to catch boats 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

Ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi Island

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

Longtail boats at Laem Hin Pier

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.
