Thung Yee Peng Pier
Thung Yee Peng Pier is a functional passenger pier located in Sala Dan, the main gateway village on Koh Lanta's northern tip. It serves as a departure and arrival point for boat services connecting the island to surrounding areas, making it a practical transit hub for travellers moving through this part of Krabi province. Visitors can expect a no-frills waterfront pier with a working harbour atmosphere. The facility operates standard daytime hours seven days a week, from 08:00 to 17:00, so it is not suited to early morning or late evening departures. As a local pier rather than a major tourist terminal, services and onward connections may vary depending on the season, and English-language signage or ticketing assistance may be limited. Travellers planning to use this pier are advised to arrive with enough time to confirm departure schedules on the day, as boat timings can be affected by weather and water conditions, particularly outside the high season between November and April. Checking current ferry routes in advance through a local guesthouse or travel agent in Sala Dan is a practical step, as no official website is listed for this facility. Comfortable, non-slip footwear is recommended when boarding.

Tips for Visiting Transportation
Take the Sleeper Train at Least Once
The Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight train in a second-class sleeper berth is a bucket-list experience. Book at least a week ahead via 12Go.asia or at Hua Lamphong station. Upper berths are cheaper and have more headroom; lower berths have a window.
Use Grab Everywhere
Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.
Rent Scooters Carefully
Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
