Bali Hai Pier, situated at the southern end of Pattaya Beach, serves as the central nervous system of maritime tourism in Chonburi. This expansive facility has been modernized to accommodate a massive influx of daily visitors, acting as the primary docking point for everything from large passenger ferries and speedboats to luxury yachts. The atmosphere here is international and electric, reflecting Pattaya’s status as a world-class seaside destination.

The most iconic feature of the pier is its proximity to the PATTAYA CITY sign on Pratumnak Hill, providing the most spectacular and direct photo opportunity of this landmark. The long pedestrian bridge extending into the sea offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Pattaya coastline, where towering skyscrapers meet the horizon. Beyond logistics, the pier’s multi-purpose plaza frequently hosts international events, including music festivals and New Year countdowns, making it a cultural hub as much as a transport one.

In terms of lifestyle, Bali Hai Pier captures the energy of a city that never sleeps. Visitors can witness the vibrant hustle of travelers embarking on sea adventures contrasted with the tranquil sight of local fishing boats in the distance. The atmosphere becomes particularly enchanting during sunset, when golden hues reflect off the water and the silhouettes of docked boats create a romantic, serene backdrop amidst the city's coastal bustle.
