Bali Hai Pier

Bali Hai Pier is located at the southern end of Pattaya Beach and the end of Walking Street, serving as the gateway for sea excursions from Pattaya. Speedboats and ferries to Koh Larn (also known as Coral Island) mainly depart from here, heading to the island's beaches and small fishing villages. Speedboating takes about 20 minutes to reach the island, while ferries sail slowly across Pattaya Bay, ideal for travelers who are not in a hurry and prefer a peaceful sea view. Many water activity itineraries also use the pier as the meeting point. Experiences like parasailing, introductory diving, underwater walking, jet ski rides, and banana boat rides are often included in the 1-day tours departing from here, with most activities taking place in the clear waters around Koh Larn, where snorkelers can spot reefs and schools of small fish. In the evening, dinner cruises set sail from the pier, offering another unique experience of Pattaya Bay with meals on the deck, sunset views, and nightscapes. Practical tips: Speedboat departure time slots are flexible, while ferries operate on fixed schedules—confirm your departure time slot and return time in advance to avoid missing the last boat back to the mainland. Speedboating can be bumpy, so travelers prone to seasickness may prefer ferries. The pier's walkway itself is also a great spot for photos, especially in the evening when the sea reflects the sunset and the "PATTAYA CITY" landmark on the distant hillside serves as a popular backdrop.
