Ko Phayam Pier

Ko Phayam Pier is the main arrival and departure pier for Ko Phayam Island in Mueang Ranong District, Ranong Province. Located on the eastern shore of the island facing the Ranong mainland, it serves ferries and speedboats from Ranong Pier. The wooden pier is the island's transport gateway and a central hub for visitors, connecting beaches, resorts and villages on this car-free island in the Andaman Sea.

Visitors arrive and depart via a long wooden pier extending into the Andaman Sea on the east coast of Ko Phayam. Expect a simple open pier structure with ticket counters, small shops and seating, surrounded by fishing boats, longtail boats, ferries and speedboats. The area offers sea views toward the mainland, views of the island coastline, and immediate access to motorbike taxis, bicycle rentals and walking paths leading to beaches and villages.

Built and expanded as the primary maritime link between Ranong town and Ko Phayam to support local fishing communities and later tourism growth; serves as the island's main connectivity infrastructure rather than a historic monument.

Functions as the main entry point to Ko Phayam's car-free island community, reflecting local fishing and tourism-based lifestyle and serving as a gathering point for residents and visitors.
