Map of Ferries to Phuket
To reach the largest island in Thailand, most travelers use the high-speed networks of Bundhaya Speed Boat or Satun Pakbara Speedboat connecting from Phi Phi or the southern mainland. While the island is connected by a bridge to the north, the Rassada Pier serves as the primary marine gateway for island-hopping throughout the Andaman Sea (Our personal experience). As shown on the regional ferry map, this hub is a critical transit point for those moving between the mainland and the remote western archipelagos.
