Via Pattay Pier
Pattaya Pier serves as the main departure point for travelers to Koh Larn, also known as Coral Island, one of the most popular day trip destinations from Pattaya. Two ferry services depart from the pier to various locations on Koh Larn, allowing travelers flexibility depending on their destination on the island. The waiting area features concrete seating and a backdrop with the words "Pattaya City," which visitors often use for souvenir photos before departure.
Two transport options are available from the pier. The regular public ferry costs 30 baht per person and takes about 45 to 50 minutes to reach Koh Larn, making it the cheaper option. Alternatively, there are speedboats for around 150 baht each way, which reduce the crossing to about 10 minutes, making it a faster option. Reviewers generally recommend the ferry for its comfort and value, noting that the upper deck offers better views and a more pleasant ride.
Tickets are not purchased in advance at a counter – passengers pay directly on board before boarding. It is advisable to check the change after payment, as travelers have reported this to be an important point to be aware of. Sea conditions can vary, so passengers prone to seasickness should factor in the longer ferry crossing time when choosing their route. There are no fixed operating hours, so it is recommended to allow plenty of extra time before the scheduled departure.

Pattaya Pier connects us to Koh Larn, the coral islands. The waiting area is beautifully designed and offers comfortable concrete seating. The backdrop with the word "Pattaya" provides fantastic photo opportunities for lasting memories. The boats and ships on the vast, green sea near the pier also offer stunning subjects for unforgettable photos.
The ferry crossing to Na Baan takes approximately 45 minutes, and the sea can be a bit rough. The ferry costs 30 baht. The speedboat takes 10 minutes and costs 150 baht each way.
I recommend the ferry; it is a significantly cheaper and more comfortable way to travel than the speedboats.

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.
