Via Khao Takiap Pier

There are two very different reasons to come here. Firstly, it's convenient because the ferry to Pattaya departs from here daily. The process is exactly as you'd expect: ticket counter, security check, waiting area. That's it. Secondly, Takiab Bay is an authentic fishing village where boats come and go, and people sit contentedly for hours, doing absolutely nothing. There's plenty of parking. Local operators organize fishing trips and boat excursions from here, and the reviews from those who have already taken them are consistently positive.

Beyond this rises Khao Takiap Hill, offering magnificent sea views for those who brave the climb. The hill is a popular spot for monkeys, so keep food out of sight and don't carry anything loose in your hands. To experience the pier at its quietest, arrive early, before the heat sets in and the ferries begin to arrive.

    I spend hours here, just sitting and enjoying the view. The spots are easy to find and there's plenty of parking. I've also seen lots of people fishing here.

    A visit is worthwhile :) Beautiful view, fishing village, beautiful beach

    Departure point for the daily ferry to Pattaya. Only a ticket counter, security check, and waiting area for the ferry. Not well signposted from the main road.

    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.

Arriving early in the morning usually means fewer visitors. October (the rainiest month) is a month to carefully consider when planning your trip.
