Na Baan and Tawaen are separate endpoints
Pattaya City’s passenger-boat data distinguishes Na Baan and Tawaen as separate route endpoints. They should not be treated as two names for one arrival point.
That distinction is the foundation of the choice. A ticket or sailing that names one endpoint should not be silently interpreted as the other.
What the destination source adds
DASTA associates one public route with Na Baan Pier and another with the Tawaen Beach side. This supplies the basic destination relationship needed to compare the two names.
It does not create a universal ranking. Use the intended island starting point to frame the choice, then verify that the corresponding endpoint is actually available.
Current availability is not established
The available sources are historical and do not establish which endpoint or return sailing is operating for a future date. The displayed old timetable therefore remains on hold.
Confirm the outbound endpoint and a usable return through a live operator or city channel. Do not infer either from historical trip activity.
Make the decision in two stages
First decide whether Na Baan Pier or the Tawaen Beach side better matches the intended island start. Second, check whether current service and a return sailing support that plan.
If live confirmation is missing, there is no evidence-bounded “best” endpoint. Keep the choice unresolved rather than filling the gap with old times or a presumed fare.
