Pattaya is one of the main resorts in Thailand, which offers its guests a lot of entertainments. However, this paradise has one drawback – the lack of spacious beaches with clear water. But even this fact will not spoil your vacation in Pattaya because you can have an ideal beach holiday on the nearby islands. Ferries in Pattaya will help you to get to any island without much effort. A convenient ferry schedule will allow you to choose the right time for a trip in both directions.
In Pattaya ferries leave from the Bali-Hai pier, which is located near the famous Walking Street. Speedboats of private transport companies also regularly depart from this pier. You can buy a ticket and check the ferry schedule at the ticket office at the pier or directly on the ferry before boarding. For those who travel by ferry for the first time, it will be interesting to admire the beautiful views of the neighboring islands on the way. It is also a good opportunity to make new friends among fellow travelers and to find a company for a holiday on the island.
If you are going to travel by ferry, you should definitely wear a hat and use sunscreen as the sun's rays reflected from the water have a stronger effect on the skin.
Koh Larn is the nearest island to Pattaya, which attracts travelers with its crystal clean beaches and exotic nature. The ferry is one of the cheapest (ticket costs 30 baht) and convenient ways to get to the island. Just 40 minutes by ferry and you will get to the pier of the island. From the pier you can get to the beach by a rented motorbike or a tuk-tuk.
Another way to get to Koh Lan is through the Coral Island Tours from Pattaya or 3 Miracle Islands tour.
Hua Hin is one of the oldest towns in Thailand and the favorite resort of the Royal Family. The main attractions of the city are beautiful beaches and hotels built in elegant English style. The resort is located 300 kilometers from Pattaya on the opposite bank of the Gulf of Thailand. From the beginning of 2017, travelers have the opportunity to get to Hua Hin by ferry. A ferry trip can save your time. Travelling by ferry, you will spend only two hours instead of 4-6 hours by land transport. The ferry runs every day.
Another way to get to Hua Hin is by taxi.
Koh Samet Island is located about 100 kilometers from Pattaya, but be sure, it is worth it to spend time on the road. First, you need to get to Ban Phe village using land transport (taxi or bus), from where ferries to Koh Samet run. A ferry ticket costs about 50-60 baht. For a more comfortable trip, you can book a tour to the island with a transfer from your hotel at our website.
Koh Samet Island has a well-developed infrastructure, there are both crowded and calm secluded beaches. There is also a large choice of hotels with different prices where guests of the resort can stay for a few days and enjoy a good rest. Diving is also a popular entertainment on the island. The rich underwater world and clear water allow you to enjoy diving.
Koh Chang attracts travelers with its beautiful wildlife, waterfalls and majestic mountain ranges. Koh Chang Island is located more than 200 kilometers from Pattaya, but it is one of the most popular tourist destinations. There is a large selection of beaches, many sights and entertainments for tourists. To get to the island, you need to take a bus or a minivan to Trat and from there move towards Ao Thammachat or Center Point piers. From these piers ferries to Koh Chang run regularly.
A trip by ferry to the neighboring islands is a great way to make your vacation in Pattaya more exciting and active, to have a rest from the hustle and crowds of tourists. The wonderful islands will amaze you with their exotic nature, beautiful beaches and unusual sights.
