Departing Phuket
Arriving Ao Nang
Departures from Phuket leave from multiple points — including Rassada Pier and Chalong Pier — with services running from early morning right through the day. We carry you across the Andaman and into Krabi province, dropping you at Ao Nang Beach or Nopparat Thara Pier, both within easy reach of Ao Nang's hotels, restaurants and activity operators.
Combined ferry and transfer
Because Ao Nang sits on a bay rather than a major island port, the most efficient services run as a combined ferry and coach or van transfer. This keeps the journey comfortable end to end and avoids multiple connections. With around 200 departures a day in season, there is consistent frequency from early in the day.
Conditions on the Andaman are best between November and April, when the sea is calm and crossings are reliable. Fares start from around THB 580. Morning services from Rassada Pier run from around 06:30, making it straightforward to travel between these two popular destinations and make the most of your day on arrival.
