Ted Li's arrival-pier check
Phi Phi has more than one passenger landing point. A boat ticket can show the correct island while still leaving you at the wrong pier for your hotel.
If your hotel is in the Laemtong area on the north side of Phi Phi, select a boat with Laemtong as the confirmed drop-off. A ticket to Tonsai Pier is not the same transfer.
How I check the booking“When I check a Phi Phi booking, I start with the hotel name, not the boat time. If the hotel is at Laemtong, the ticket needs a Laemtong drop-off. A convenient departure to Tonsai does not fix the transfer at the other end.”
Hotel names and landing arrangements can change. Confirm the landing point with the property and check the drop-off printed in the selected boat option before confirming the ticket.

Rassada Pier is the principal maritime gateway of Phuket and the busiest hub for island-hopping. Whether you are catching a ferry boat or a speedboat to Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, or Krabi, this terminal is your starting point.
To help you prepare for your trip, here is everything you need to know about navigating the Rassada Pier passenger terminal.
The main terminal building is designed to handle thousands of passengers daily. Inside, you will find all the essential amenities to make your wait comfortable:
If you are renting a car or riding a motorbike in Phuket, driving to the pier is highly convenient.
Terminal facilities · Direct answers
Gate 1 is reserved for speedboat departures. Ferry boats board through Gate 2 or Gate 3.
I tell passengers to keep the color-coded sticker visible and wait for staff to call the boat. The gate announced inside the terminal is the final boarding instruction.
I normally recommend a ferry boat for wheelchair users, strollers and older passengers. The ferry boat is more stable, and its boarding pier has dedicated stairs that are generally easier for older passengers than speedboat boarding.
Access to the vessel involves steps and is not entirely barrier-free. Wheelchairs and strollers must be foldable, and our crew will assist with lifting them aboard.
Rassada Pier visual reference
I keep these two references together because passengers often use one to ask about the other. The terminal photo helps with arrival. The fare board helps with comparison. I still check the selected date before confirming a departure.
This is the main passenger building at Rassada Pier. On busy mornings, several departures can be checking in at the same time. I highly recommend arriving inside the terminal 30 to 45 minutes before departure. Reaching the building at the time printed on the ticket is already late.
I use this board to compare the usual ticket categories. I do not use the picture to promise a seat or a final fare. Before confirming, I check the travel date, destination pier, ferry or speedboat, adult and child conditions, and remaining seats. Tonsai and Laemtong are both on Phi Phi, but they are different arrivals.
Rassada Pier is located 35km from Phuket Airport (60-90 min drive) and 20km from Patong Beach (45 min drive). Located on the eastern side of Phuket Town, it is centrally situated but requires proper travel timing due to local traffic.
Public transport check · Phuket
I checked the published Route 3 information on 10 September 2026. It lists Rassada Pier on the green line and a 15 THB full-route fare. That confirms the route and fare, but not whether a particular bus gives enough time for ferry check-in.
When someone asks me whether the EV Bus will work, I start with the ferry departure and count backwards. I want the passenger inside the terminal 30 to 45 minutes before the boat leaves. Then I compare the current bus timing. If that margin disappears, I would use a taxi or ride-hailing car instead.
“I do not match a bus to a boat by price. I match it by the time the passenger will actually reach the terminal.”
Route 3 · Green line Airport to Phuket Town
Yes. The orange Airport Bus 8411 goes to Phuket Bus Terminal 1 (Old Bus Terminal). Continue to Rassada Pier by taxi or ride-hailing car, paid separately.
I budget for the bus wait, the town connection and ferry check-in. The 60–90-minute drive estimate alone is not enough; I aim to reach the terminal 30–45 minutes before departure.
Ferries and speedboats depart daily from Rassada Pier. The standard morning schedule starts at 08:30, and the afternoon schedule is at 13:30. We recommend checking live availability on our booking system for real-time updates and seasonal changes.
Prices typically start from 650 - 1,400 THB for the Standard Ferry and 900 - 1,250 THB for the Speedboat.
We highly recommend booking online in advance for the following reasons:
Please arrive at least 30 - 45 minutes before your departure. This ensures you have enough time to check in, receive your boarding sticker, and load luggage. Note that boarding gates typically close 15 minutes before departure.
Vessels depart strictly on schedule. If you arrive late, it is recorded as a "No Show." For Saver and Standard tickets, your booking becomes invalid and non-refundable. You will be required to purchase a new ticket for the next available service, subject to availability.
The distance is roughly 30-35 km, taking 60 - 90 minutes by car depending on traffic. We highly recommend booking our Private Vehicle Transfer + Ferry combo to ensure a seamless connection without the stress of hailing a taxi.
Yes, secure parking buildings and outdoor lots are available. The fee is approximately 100 THB per day, and overnight parking is permitted.
No. You can simply show the Mobile Voucher (E-Ticket) on your smartphone along with your Passport or ID card to the staff at the check-in counter.
Rassada Pier is located on the east side of Phuket Town, just a 10-15 minute drive from Phuket Old Town. You can easily find it on Google Maps by searching for "Rassada Pier".
No. The vessels operating from Rassada Pier are passenger ferries only. There are no car ferries to Phi Phi Island, as the island does not have roads for private cars.
Pets: Generally allowed on large ferries if kept in a cage/bag and wearing a muzzle. They must stay in designated outdoor areas (Sundecks).
Luggage: Passengers are allowed one suitcase and one carry-on (combined max weight of 25 kg). Excess weight may incur additional fees payable directly to the operator at check-in.
Yes, there are ATMs, a coffee shop, a minimart, and small food stalls available at the terminal. However, we recommend bringing some cash for your time on the island.
Speedboats are not recommended for pregnant women, infants (under 1 year), or elderly passengers with back problems. We strongly advise choosing the Standard Ferry for a smoother, safer, and more stable journey.
All bookings are non-refundable. However, we offer an Extended Validity period of up to 180 days from your original travel date. To qualify for this extension, you must notify us at least 2 days in advance. Failure to provide this notice results in a "No Show," and the ticket will be forfeited.
Large ferries operate year-round, even in light rain. While extreme weather may cause safety postponements, large ferries are rarely cancelled. Speedboats, however, may be rescheduled to the next available departure or transferred to a large ferry at no additional cost due to rough sea conditions. Please note: If the standard ferry is operating normally but you choose not to travel for personal reasons at the pier, tickets are strictly non-refundable.
