Via the Jian Wanich Pier
Located in the Ratsada area of the Mueang district of Phuket, this active pier serves as a convenient departure point for ferries and boats, especially the motorbike ferry to Ko Yao Yai. It functions more as a working, local marina than a luxurious tourist facility, and this unpretentious character contributes significantly to the experience.
Visitors can expect an old-fashioned harbor atmosphere with traditional boats, ladders between decks, and a simple setup that reflects everyday life on the water in southern Thailand. Boatmen are usually on hand to arrange crossings and excursions. The pier offers a more authentic alternative to the busier, more touristy departure points elsewhere on the island. For motorcyclists, it's an easy and affordable way to reach the Ko Yao islands.

A traditional, old-fashioned pier and an equally old-fashioned boat! Basically, ladders lead from the car deck to the seating deck! Very relaxing.
The nearest hostel is about 1 km further away and within walking distance. It's inexpensive, clean, and the owner is friendly. Rooms have both fans and air conditioning. It's in a good location for travelers in transit.

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.
