Lipa Noi Pier on Koh Samui is on the island’s quieter west coast. The main Ferry Terminal is a short drive from Nathon town (around 10–15 minutes) and roughly 40–50 minutes by road from Samui International Airport and the Chaweng/Lamai resort areas, depending on traffic.

You can reach Lipa Noi Pier by taxi, private transfer, or rental car. Taxis and pre-booked minibuses are the most common options from the airport and major beaches; they usually follow the ring road around the island and then cut across to the west coast toward Lipa Noi. Many hotels can arrange door-to-door transfers directly to the Pier. Public songthaews (shared pickup taxis) operate along the main roads but may require a change in Nathon and can be less reliable for exact timing.

Saladan Pier on Koh Lanta is located at the northern tip of the island, close to the main village of Ban Saladan. The Terminal is a short drive from popular beach areas along the west coast (such as Klong Dao and Long Beach), and is easily reached by taxi, tuk-tuk-style local transport, or hotel-arranged transfers.
