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.

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.
