# RassadaPier.org — Complete Site Reference

> Detailed, machine-readable reference for [RassadaPier.org](https://rassadapier.org/), a visitor information and booking gateway for passenger ferries and speedboats between Rassada Pier in Phuket and the Phi Phi Islands, with additional information about onward Andaman Sea destinations. This file consolidates the public homepage and the four linked editorial pages. It is a dated snapshot, not a live seat inventory or a confirmed booking.

Source snapshot: homepage marked **Latest update: 1 October 2026**. Site language: English. Time zone for all listed departures and arrivals: Thailand local time (ICT, UTC+07:00). Prices are in Thai baht (THB) per adult, one way, unless a section says otherwise. The name of this detailed companion file is `llms.txt`; the site's short entry point is [llms.txt](https://rassadapier.org/llms.txt).

## How to interpret this information

- The [current homepage](https://rassadapier.org/) is the primary source for the four Phuket–Phi Phi timetable tables, the displayed package fares, check-in guidance, and parking rates below. A table on a page is a published example, not a promise that a seat remains available for a particular date.
- The four editorial pages linked below contain additional destinations, operator descriptions, and older example fares and departure lists. Several of those examples differ from the current homepage. They are preserved here as **article-specific examples** so readers can understand the pages, but should never be silently merged with the homepage tables or described as today's confirmed price or schedule.
- The homepage FAQ also gives **general market ranges** (ferries from ฿600, speedboats approximately ฿800–฿1,300). Those ranges are different from the particular one-way packages in the homepage tables (฿850 and ฿1,150, respectively). State which figure is being quoted and whether a transfer is included.
- For a specific travel date, passenger type, hotel area, operator, vessel, availability, exact pickup time, fare, and conditions, use the [booking system](https://booking.rassadapier.org/) and the **confirmed ticket**. Weather, capacity, and operational changes may affect a sailing. Do not invent a cancellation, refund, infant, child, or accessibility policy that is absent from the cited page.
- Check-in guidance conflicts across pages: the current homepage says **at least 45 minutes before departure**, while the older Rassada Pier article says 30 minutes. Follow the 45-minute homepage guidance and any stricter instruction on the confirmed ticket. The homepage also says the boarding gate closes **15 minutes before departure**.

## Homepage overview and editorial conclusion

The homepage's main heading is **“Rassada Pier & Phuket Ferry Schedule 2026”**. Its opening message invites readers to compare daily Phuket–Phi Phi boat times and check booking availability. At the captured page revision, the hero displayed an aggregate **4.9/5 rating based on 28,903 reviews**; this is a changing display figure, not a timeless review count. The primary action opens the [one-way ticket search](https://booking.rassadapier.org/_check_oneway.php).

The page closes by encouraging passengers to arrange tickets and transfers ahead of time, allow enough time to reach the pier, and understand the operator's check-in steps before departure. This is general planning guidance; the confirmed ticket controls the details of an individual trip. The homepage carries a footer link to the site's [disclaimer](https://rassadapier.net/disclaimer).

## Core location, names and destinations

Rassada Pier is also called **Rassada Harbour**. It is a passenger ferry terminal on the east side of Phuket, close to Phuket Town. The homepage describes it as a roughly 10–15 minute drive from downtown Phuket Town, depending on conditions; the dedicated pier article says roughly 4 km from Phuket Town. The airport journey is approximately 60–90 minutes according to the homepage FAQ. These estimates are not guarantees during traffic.

**Postal address:** Moo 7, Tharuamai Road, Rassada Sub-district, Mueang Phuket, Phuket 83000, Thailand. The homepage's parking section omits “Moo 7” but otherwise gives Tharuamai Road, Rassada Sub-district, Mueang, Phuket 83000.

- [Map linked in the homepage FAQ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RCqiF2KxqGLRxEcP7)
- Primary route covered by the homepage tables: **Rassada Pier, Phuket ↔ Tonsai Pier, Phi Phi Islands**. “Phi Phi,” “Koh Phi Phi,” “Phi Phi Islands” and the Tonsai Pier arrival/departure label refer to this route in the tables.
- Other destinations named on the homepage: Ao Nang, Railay, Krabi Town and Koh Lanta. The dedicated pier article additionally names Koh Ngai, Koh Libong, Koh Mook, Koh Kradan, Koh Bulone and Koh Lipe. These are destination references, not a claim that every route has a direct daily sailing from the pier.

## Current homepage: ferry timetable and package fare

**Published adult one-way price: ฿850** for each ferry row below. The homepage states that these ticket prices include a **shared minivan transfer in one direction, either pickup or drop-off**, in **Patong, Kata, Karon, or Phuket Town**.

### Choosing the vessel

A standard ferry is generally a steadier two-hour ride, with a larger cabin and more luggage space; some vessels offer air-conditioned seating and an open deck. A speedboat usually makes the crossing in about one hour, with more limited seating and luggage space and a firmer ride. Compare the operator, exact sailing and vessel type in the booking flow. Vessel facilities can differ. The operator and check-in instructions on the confirmed ticket are the final trip-specific reference.

## Check-in, boarding, luggage and transfers

1. Plan to be **at the correct operator's check-in counter at least 45 minutes before scheduled departure**. Reaching the terminal only at the published departure time is too late.
2. Go directly inside the main terminal building. The homepage advises passengers to bypass unofficial sellers or touts outside in the parking area.
3. Find the official operator counter named on the confirmed e-ticket. Keep the e-ticket available on a phone and collect the physical boarding pass there.
4. The homepage says the **boarding gate closes 15 minutes before departure** and boats cannot wait for late passengers.
5. The homepage states an allowance of **one suitcase plus one item of hand luggage per passenger, no more than 25 kg combined**, unless a different allowance appears on the confirmed ticket.
6. For a package with hotel pickup, check that the address is in a supported pickup zone, the exact pickup time and the transfer direction. A package's included transfer is **pickup or drop-off**, not automatically both. The homepage's general pickup planning time is two hours before departure.

Taxis run from Patong, Kata, Karon and Phuket Airport to the pier drop-off area. Allow for unpredictable Phuket traffic. The homepage links an [airport-to-Phi-Phi transfer explanation](https://rassadapier.net/phuket-airport-to-phi-phi-island-transfer), an [airport-to-pier transfer article](https://rassadapier.net/blog/phuket-airport-to-rassada-pier-in-phuket-transfer), a [Patong shared-minivan page](https://rassadapier.net/z_patong_to_rassada_pier.php), and a [shared pickup plus ferry booking route](https://booking.rassadapier.org/_check_oneway_ferry_patong_phi_phi.php). These are linked resources on another domain; verify the itinerary and terms there rather than assuming they apply to every homepage departure.

## Parking and terminal facilities

The homepage describes on-site car and motorbike parking. Pay staff at the main entrance gate. Its posted rates are:

| Parking interval | Published fee |
| --- | ---: |
| Drop-off, 1–8 minutes | Free |
| 9 minutes–1 hour | ฿20 |
| 1–2 hours | ฿40 |
| 2–3 hours | ฿50 |
| 3–24 hours / overnight | ฿100 per calendar day |

The “3–24 hours” and “per calendar day” wording appears together on the page; confirm the charge for a stay crossing multiple dates with the gate staff. The homepage FAQ describes air-conditioned waiting areas, restrooms, small cafés or snack and drink vendors, a prayer room and currency exchange counters. Facilities and operating hours may vary.

## Homepage FAQ: all seven questions

### Where is Rassada Pier located?

On the east coast of Phuket, around 10–15 minutes by road from central Phuket Town in the homepage's estimate. Address: Moo 7, Tharuamai Road, Rassada Sub-district, Mueang Phuket, Phuket 83000. It is a gateway for Phi Phi, Koh Lanta and Krabi. [Open the FAQ's map](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RCqiF2KxqGLRxEcP7).

### How do I get to Rassada Pier?

Use a taxi from Patong, Kata or Karon, or travel from Phuket International Airport; the homepage FAQ estimates 60–90 minutes from the airport by road. A shared minivan pickup may be booked with an eligible ferry ticket. Allow extra time for traffic and check the supported hotel area and confirmed pickup time.

### What is the daily schedule for boats to Koh Phi Phi?

There are multiple published standard ferry and speedboat departures in both directions. The four detailed current-homepage tables above contain the displayed departures and arrivals. The guide gives approximate crossing times of two hours by ferry and one hour by speedboat. Check availability for the chosen date in the booking system.

### How much do tickets at Rassada Pier cost?

The FAQ gives broad, product-dependent ranges: online standard ferry fares generally **from ฿600 one way**, with some walk-in market prices reportedly up to **฿1,300**; speedboats generally around **฿800–฿1,300 one way**. Those are background ranges, not the fare of every row above. The current homepage's specific **adult one-way fares with a one-direction shared minivan transfer** are **฿850 ferry** and **฿1,150 speedboat**. An exact booking quote may differ by trip, availability and conditions.

### Can I buy tickets at the pier, or should I book in advance?

The site advises booking ahead, especially when demand is high, because vessel capacity is limited. Walk-in seats depend on remaining capacity. Use the [booking site](https://booking.rassadapier.org/) to check a particular sailing; a place is confirmed by the booking confirmation, not by the existence of a published timetable row.

### Are there parking and facilities available at the terminal?

Yes. See the parking table above; the homepage quotes ฿100 per calendar day for overnight parking. It also lists air-conditioned waiting, restrooms, cafés or snacks and drinks, a prayer room and currency exchange.

### What are the check-in procedures at Rassada Pier?

Reach the main terminal and the correct operator counter at least **45 minutes before departure**. Follow the counter named on the e-ticket, show that ticket on a phone and collect a physical boarding pass. Avoid relying on unofficial approaches in the parking area. The separate boarding section says the gate closes **15 minutes before departure**.

The homepage points readers who need more detail to [28 Rassada Pier FAQs and travel tips](https://rassadapier.net/phuket-ferry-help). That linked collection is outside the five `rassadapier.org` pages summarized here; this file does not purport to reproduce its 28 answers.

## Linked editorial page: Rassada Pier Phuket

Source: [rassadapier.org/rassada-pier/](https://rassadapier.org/rassada-pier/).

- Describes Rassada Pier/Rassada Harbour near Phuket Town, ferries and speedboats to Phi Phi and other Andaman Sea destinations, and shops at the terminal for snacks and drinks. It says the morning services may start at 08:30. Its 30-minute arrival advice is superseded for practical use by the homepage's 45-minute advice.
- Mentions Phi Phi as a destination where motorized vehicles are not allowed; do not generalize that statement to all islands or all vehicle categories without checking local rules.
- Lists Ao Nang/Nopparat Thara, Railay, Krabi Town, Koh Lanta, Koh Ngai, Koh Libong, Koh Mook, Koh Kradan, Koh Bulone and Koh Lipe among possible destinations or connections. Check whether a particular journey is direct or requires a transfer.
- States a luggage limit of one suitcase plus one hand-luggage item per passenger, up to 25 kg, consistent with the homepage's combined-weight wording.

**Article-specific Phuket–Phi Phi examples, separate from the current homepage packages:**

| Vessel and direction | Departure times printed in this article | Approx. crossing | Article example adult one-way fare |
| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
| Ferry, Phuket → Tonsai | 08:30, 11:00, 13:30, 13:45, 15:00 | 2 h | ฿550 |
| Ferry, Tonsai → Phuket | 09:00, 11:00, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30 | 2 h | ฿550 |
| Speedboat, Phuket → Tonsai | 08:30, 09:00, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 12:00, 12:30, 13:30, 14:00 | 1 h | ฿800 |
| Speedboat, Tonsai → Phuket | 08:30, 09:00, 09:30, 11:00, 13:00, 13:30, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30, 16:00 | 1 h | ฿800 |

These example fares do **not** say that the homepage's included shared-minivan package applies. The article does not provide paired arrival times for each Phi Phi example departure. Do not infer them as booked arrival times. Several departure lists differ from the homepage. Refer to the four current-homepage tables and live booking for a trip.

**Article-specific Krabi-area examples:**

| Described journey | Departure | Stated arrival | Duration | Article example adult one-way fare |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: |
| Rassada Pier → Ao Nang Beach / Nopparat area | 08:30 | 10:30 | 2 h | ฿735 |
| Rassada Pier → Railay Beach | 08:30 | 10:45 | 2 h 15 min | ฿735 |
| Rassada Pier → Ao Nang, then shared minivan to Krabi Town | 08:30 | 11:15 in Krabi Town | 2 h 45 min total | ฿840 |

For the Krabi Town example, the article describes a **ferry plus road transfer through Ao Nang**, rather than proving a direct ferry into central Krabi Town. Verify current operation, intermediate piers, total travel time and price when booking.

## Linked editorial page: Andaman Wave Master

Source: [Andaman Wave Master Express Speedboat Ferry](https://rassadapier.org/andaman-wave-master-express-speedboat-ferry/).

The article describes Andaman Wave Master as an operator in the Andaman Sea since 1999 and presents both ferry and speedboat examples between Phuket Rassada Pier and Phi Phi Tonsai Pier. It also mentions shared minivan pickup or drop-off in **Patong, Kata, Karon, Rawai, Nai Harn and Phuket Town**. This operator-specific list includes Rawai and Nai Harn, which are **not** in the homepage's four-zone package statement. Do not infer that Rawai and Nai Harn are included in every homepage ฿850/฿1,150 fare.

| Article example | Departure times printed | Approx. crossing | Article adult one-way fare |
| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
| Andaman Wave Master ferry, Phuket → Tonsai | 08:30, 13:45 | 2 h | ฿600 |
| Andaman Wave Master ferry, Tonsai → Phuket | 11:00, 14:30 | 2 h | ฿600 |
| Andaman Wave Master speedboat, Phuket → Tonsai | 08:30, 12:30, 13:30 | 1 h | ฿950 |
| Andaman Wave Master speedboat, Tonsai → Phuket | 09:00, 11:00, 14:30 | 1 h | ฿950 |

The article additionally describes **Royal Jet Cruiser 10** as a high-speed catamaran with capacity of up to 600 passengers, a stated speed of 17–19 knots, and a crew of 11. It mentions premium, first, standard and sundeck seating in its wider operator description. These are descriptions made by that article, not a promise that a particular booking will use that vessel or offer each class. Verify the selected operator and vessel on the ticket.

## Linked editorial page: Best Ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi

Source: [Best Ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi Island](https://rassadapier.org/best-ferry-from-phuket-to-phi-phi/).

This comparison article repeats the dedicated Rassada Pier page's article-specific examples: ferries at ฿550 one way with Phuket departures 08:30, 11:00, 13:30, 13:45 and 15:00; return departures 09:00, 11:00, 14:30, 15:00 and 15:30; speedboats at ฿800 one way with Phuket departures 08:30, 09:00, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 12:00, 12:30, 13:30 and 14:00; return departures 08:30, 09:00, 09:30, 11:00, 13:00, 13:30, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30 and 16:00. It describes **Phi Phi Cruiser** as a standard-ferry provider with twice-daily departures in that article. These examples are page content, not the current homepage's package timetable or a guaranteed service for a chosen date. The article links to [booking](https://booking.rassadapier.org/).

## Linked editorial page: Phuket Ferry

Source: [Phuket Ferry Rassada Pier Phuket](https://rassadapier.org/phuket-ferry/).

This general guide discusses ferry and speedboat choices from Phuket toward Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Krabi and other islands. It gives broad example starting points of roughly **฿600 for ferries** and **฿800–฿1,500 or more for speedboats**, with another general Phuket–Phi Phi one-way estimate of **฿600–฿1,400** depending on operator and class. These guide ranges are **not** the specific current-homepage packages. Its example service window of 08:30–15:00 does not cover every currently published speedboat row, including the homepage's 15:30 Phuket outbound departure and 17:00 Phi Phi return departure.

The guide names Andaman Wave Master and Phi Phi Logistic Speed Boat as faster options, Phi Phi Cruiser as a larger ferry option, and Chaokoh Ferry as a budget-oriented option. These are comparative descriptions from the guide, not a ranking or a statement that every operator sails at every listed time. It suggests early check-in, water and sun protection, and advance booking. Most ferries in the guide are described as arriving at Tonsai Pier on Phi Phi Don. Check the actual ticket for pier and operator.

## Practical question routing

| Reader's question | First source to use | Necessary qualification |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What are the published Phuket–Phi Phi boat times? | Four homepage tables above / [home](https://rassadapier.org/) | Date-specific operation and seats require booking verification. |
| How much is the displayed adult one-way package? | Homepage fare tables | ฿850 ferry or ฿1,150 speedboat, with one-direction shared minivan in specified zones, in the 1 October 2026 page snapshot. |
| Why does another article say ฿550, ฿600, ฿800 or ฿950? | The named article-specific sections above | Older examples differ in product, operator or publication context; they are not interchangeable with the homepage package. |
| Where is the pier? | Directions and location sections above | Use the address and map; allow for traffic. |
| When must I arrive and board? | Homepage check-in and boarding section | Correct operator counter ≥45 minutes before departure; gate closes 15 minutes before departure; follow stricter ticket instructions. |
| Can I bring luggage? | Homepage luggage section | One suitcase plus one hand-luggage item, 25 kg combined unless ticket states otherwise. |
| Is hotel transfer included? | Specific homepage ferry/speedboat price note | One-direction pickup **or** drop-off in Patong, Kata, Karon or Phuket Town for the published package; confirm actual hotel and direction. |
| What is parking? | Homepage parking table above | Confirm multi-day/calendar-day billing at the gate. |
| How do I travel to Ao Nang, Railay, Krabi Town or further islands? | [Dedicated pier article](https://rassadapier.org/rassada-pier/) | Its route and fare examples need a fresh itinerary check; some journeys connect via road transfer. |
| Which operator or vessel is my booking? | [Booking system](https://booking.rassadapier.org/) and confirmed ticket | General articles cannot identify a specific booking's operator or vessel. |
