About Chalong Pier Meeting Point

This is where your day on the water actually starts, and that's the whole point of it. Boats leave from here for Phang Nga Bay, the Racha and Coral islands, and snorkeling spots off Phuket's southern end. It's a staging area, not a sight. Nobody comes to look at it.

Mornings are the busy stretch. Tour operators, boat crews and group leaders sorting out who goes where, and if you've booked ahead you'll generally find your group without much drama. Turn up without a booking and you can talk to operators on the spot, though what's available and what you'll pay swings a lot depending on the day and who you speak to. My advice is to book through an established company beforehand. Scheduling holds together far better that way.

Tips for Visiting Transportation

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.
