Na Baan Pier acts as the strategic heart of Koh Larn, where most travelers begin their island adventure. It serves as the main docking point for large ferries and speedboats connecting directly to Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya. The pier’s importance lies in its well-organized water transport system, providing visitors with a precise and convenient schedule for island exploration.

A key point travelers should know is that ferry services are divided into two main types. Large passenger ferries are budget-friendly, safe, and take approximately 45 minutes per trip. Speedboats, on the other hand, are ideal for those who prioritize time, with a travel duration of only 15–20 minutes. Na Baan Pier is also the main point where the most up to date return ferry schedules are posted, helping visitors avoid missing the last boat back to Pattaya.

The atmosphere at the pier is especially lively during the morning and late afternoon, when both tourists and local residents travel between the island and the mainland. Compared to Ta Waen Pier, Na Baan Pier offers more frequent ferry departures, making it the top choice for travelers who need flexibility in their schedules whether for a day trip or an overnight stay on the island.

For detail-oriented travelers, checking the return ferry schedule is essential. During weekends and holidays, ferry times may be adjusted depending on passenger volume. Arriving at the pier 15–20 minutes before departure helps ensure a smooth boarding process and a comfortable seat, along with one last scenic view of the Gulf of Thailand before leaving Koh Larn.
