QUESTIONS PEOPLE ARE ASKING RIGHT NOW
How do I recognize registered motorcycle taxis with the new regulations?
Look for the new royal blue vests featuring registered driver numbers and official Banglamung district badges. Always agree the fare before getting on, or use Grab/Bolt for guaranteed upfront pricing.

Take the 30 THB public ferry from Bali Hai Pier directly to Tawaen Beach or Na Baan Pier (approx. 45 min). Speedboats run for ~150–200 THB per person if you prefer a faster 15-minute crossing.
