Pattay Pier

Pattaya Pier serves as the primary departure point for travellers heading to Koh Larn, also known as Coral Island, one of the most popular day-trip destinations from Pattaya. The pier handles two ferry routes serving different points on Koh Larn, giving travellers some flexibility depending on their destination on the island. The waiting area features concrete seating and a backdrop bearing the "Pattaya City" signage, which visitors frequently use for photos before departure. Two transport options are available from the pier. The standard public ferry costs 30 Baht per person and takes approximately 45 to 50 minutes to reach Koh Larn, making it the more economical choice. Speedboats are also available at around 150 Baht one way, cutting the journey to roughly 10 minutes for those who prefer a faster crossing. Reviewers generally recommend the ferry for comfort and value, and note that the upper deck offers better views and a more pleasant ride. Tickets are not purchased in advance at a booth — passengers pay directly at the vessel before boarding. It is advisable to confirm your change after paying, as this has been noted by visitors as something to watch. Sea conditions can vary, so travellers prone to motion sickness may want to factor in the ferry's longer travel time when choosing between options. No specific operating hours are listed, so arriving with buffer time before a planned departure is a sensible approach.
