There are two options for onward travel from Pralan Pier, which is an isolated location some distance from a major road. The easiest option is to book a minivan transfer whilst you are on the ferry.

Alternatively, you can walk 950 metres to the main ring road around the island and flag down a shared taxi. Fares are 50 to 100 THB depending upon where you going.
