Rassada Pier in Phuket

Rassada Pier is the main dock for boats and ferries travelling to and from islands off the coast of Phuket, including Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, and Krabi. This ferry pier is on the west coast of the island, a little over 4 km southeast of Phuket Town. It's an hour-long drive to reach Rassada Pier from Phuket International Airport.

Rassada Pier is busiest in the morning, with hundreds of day-trippers heading for Phang Nga Bay. You'll find private yachts, speedboats, and ferries offering transfers to surrounding islands. The first ferries usually leave for Krabi and Koh Lanta at 8am. If you want to stock up on snacks before your trip, there are a couple of food stalls and a snack shop close to the pier.
