Getting there & around
Getting there
The mainland gateway is Palian, with two separate, non-interchangeable piers about 400 metres apart: Baan Ta-Seh (the old pier, "ta ruea gao") and Saphan Mai (the new pier). Local agencies and hotel-arranged transfers typically decide which pier a given boat departs from, so travelers arranging their own transport should confirm with their accommodation.
Getting around
A bicycle can be rented through a resort for independent exploring on the island's flat terrain. Hiring a saleng (local tuk-tuk) instead gives a roughly three-hour guided island tour without self-navigating.
