Via Laem Panwa Pier
Laem Panwa Pier is located on the southeastern tip of Phuket and is an ideal starting point for boat trips, island tours, and excursions departing from this quieter part of the island. Away from the bustling tourist centers of Patong and Chalong, the pier offers a more relaxed base for those wishing to explore the waters around Phuket, including trips to nearby islands and the scenic Phang Nga Bay.
The resort itself impresses with its relaxed atmosphere, unobstructed views of the water, and a more tranquil character compared to the island's more touristy jetties. Visitors can expect a straightforward, functional experience rather than a perfectly staged tourist complex – ideal for travelers who want to enjoy the water away from the crowds. In the vicinity of Cape Laem Panwa, there are also several restaurants and viewpoints worth visiting before or after a boat trip.

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.
