Laem Ngop Pier is located in Laem Ngop District, Trat Province, and serves as the primary maritime hub of eastern Thailand. It is the main departure point for travelers heading to popular islands such as Koh Chang, Koh Mak, and Koh Kood, making it an essential gateway to the Trat archipelago.

It is important to note that “Laem Ngop Pier” does not refer to a single pier, but rather a cluster of piers within the Laem Ngop area. These include Ao Thammachat Pier and Center Point Pier for car ferries to Koh Chang, as well as speedboat piers serving Koh Mak and Koh Kood. These piers are located nearby but not directly at the lighthouse viewpoint.

Nearby, visitors will find the iconic red-and-white Laem Ngop Lighthouse and the “Easternmost Landmark” sign, a popular photo spot symbolizing the eastern edge of mainland Thailand. However, geographically, the true easternmost point of Thailand is located at Ban Hat Lek in Khlong Yai District.

Travelers can also explore Ban Nam Chiao, a nearby community known for its traditional lifestyle and the famous “Ngob Nam Chiao” palm-leaf hats. The area offers a glimpse into local fishing culture, along with opportunities to purchase fresh and processed seafood products directly from local producers.
