Taxi to Ban Phe Pier – Insider Tips for a Smooth Transfer
August 29, 2025
Hey there! Miss M here. After years of arranging premium transfers with MWS Pattaya Taxi, I’ve learned one thing—if you’re staying at Ao Prao Resort or other luxury spots on Koh Samet, your journey starts with the right pier.
Most people head to crowded Nuanthip Pier without knowing there’s a faster, calmer, more exclusive option—Ao Prao Pier. Today, I’m sharing why booking a private taxi to Ao Prao Pier is the smartest move you can make for a stress-free luxury getaway.
Why Ao Prao Pier is the Luxury Traveler’s Choice
Ao Prao Pier is the dedicated gateway for upscale resorts like Le Vimarn Resort, Ao Prao Resort, and Lima Bella Resort. Forget long waits, noisy terminals, and overcrowded ferries—this pier is built for comfort.
Instead of fighting for a seat on a public boat, you’ll board a direct ferry to Ao Prao Beach. It’s a smooth 20–25 minute ride, no transfers, no longtail boats, and no dragging luggage through sand. Staff are ready to help you from the moment you step out of the taxi, and they already know exactly where you’re headed.

When you split the fare among your group, it often works out cheaper (and far more comfortable) than public transport.

Travel Tips for Ao Prao Pier Transfers

- Confirm your ferry time with your resort before booking your taxi
- Book 3–5 days ahead in peak seasons (Dec–Apr, Songkran, Chinese New Year)
- Pier operates typically from 8 AM – 5 PM
- Have a backup plan—if weather affects service, Nuanthip Pier is the main alternative
