Via the Pralarn Pier

Pralarn Pier is located in the Mae Nam district on the northwest coast of Koh Samui and is an ideal starting point for water sports and island exploration. Boat trips, island hopping, and access to nearby coral reefs and coastal areas are among the main attractions, making the pier a useful base for travelers wanting to explore Koh Samui's main beaches.

The atmosphere is functional and geared towards activities. Local boat operators and tour operators run their businesses right at the harbor. Visitors can expect a lively scene with boats coming and going throughout the day, catering to both independent travelers and participants in organized tours. The ambiance is more casual than elegant; so those expecting a luxurious marina experience should adjust their expectations accordingly.

    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.
