Nopparat Thara Pier is a great little pier found to the west of Nopparat Thara Beach in Ao Nang. The pier is Ao Nang's main arrival point by boat. It's relatively small but the pier also acts as the hub for ferries traveling to and from the magnificent surrounding islands and peninsulas. The locals all know the pier well, so just say the name and the local taxis and bus drivers will get you there.
