1. Choose the endpoint and return first
Match your return to the pier you will actually use. The operator’s timetable displays a later final return from Na Baan than from Tawaen. Changing beaches or piers during the day can change which return is practical.
2. Pair it with an outbound sailing
Choose the Pattaya departure after settling the return, then save both legs together. The endpoint guide linked below contains the posted Na Baan and Tawaen timetable. Use it for the public passenger ferry only; speedboats are a separate service.
3. Allow for tickets and the sales window
The operator displays 40 THB per person for adults and children, with no advance reservations. Its general cutoff is 20 minutes before departure, but the Na Baan 15:30 row closes sales at 15:00. Confirm your sailing’s actual window and arrive before it.
If the counter is closed while that departure is still open, the post permits payment at the boat. Tickets for a missed sailing are not refundable or transferable to a later departure.
4. Reconfirm both legs before travelling
Check TMD’s Pattaya weather and shipping forecasts, including their issue times, and confirm with the operator that your selected boats are running.
The city’s 2024–2025 data records two-way passenger activity, while DASTA’s undated timetable provides older background. Neither establishes today’s service or a safe-sailing decision.
