Thong Sala Pier

The Thong Sala Pier is the efficient island pier, where a ferry transporting people between islands can dock without any problems. It is located to the southwest of Koh Pha Ngan and just 45 minutes away from Koh Samui. The island's dense forests amid the mountainous terrain can be seen as one draws near the Thong Sala Pier. As one steps off the boat, there are the usual crowd of taxi drivers and tour operators who greet the tourists.
Thong Sala is the main town of Koh Pha Ngan and one can find banks, currency exchangers and some pubs and restaurants. Some find the place attractive enough to spend a night or two in one of the local hotels, close to the pier and it is the most convenient connecting point to anywhere else on the island. As in other piers in Thailand, the green surroundings and blue calm waters make for an arresting landscape and renting a motorcycle to ride around is a must for intrepid tourists. There is even a fresh food market open both mornings and evenings and if lucky, you may even catch a round of Thai boxing in one of the stadiums.
