Via Ao Nid Pier
Ao Nid Pier is the main arrival and departure point for travelers to and from Ko Mak, a quieter island in the Koh Chang archipelago in eastern Thailand. Ferries and speedboats depart from the pier, connecting Ko Mak to the mainland and neighboring islands, making it a convenient transport hub for anyone exploring this part of the Gulf of Thailand.
Visitors will find a small, simple pier, typical of the region's offshore islands. The facilities are basic, and the focus is solely on passenger transport, not on commercial or leisure activities. Despite its modest size, the pier enjoys a good reputation among travelers, reflecting the reliable and straightforward service.
It is important to note that ferry schedules in this region are subject to seasonal fluctuations, particularly during the monsoon season, which generally lasts from May to October. During this time, some services operate less frequently or are suspended altogether. Travelers are advised to confirm departure times in advance with their accommodation or the ferry operator, as there is no official website for the terminal. It is recommended to arrive well in advance of departure, as ferries can fill up quickly during peak season.

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
