Transport

OSM Thailand piers.

Free pier and ferry map layer for amenity=ferry_terminal, man_made=pier, route=ferry, landings, and nearby boat-access context. Useful for coordinates, nearby transfers, and fallback mapping, not official route confirmation.

Access class note

Public web, file, catalog, or documented endpoint access with no paid gate implied in the source profile.

Used in layers

Useful fields

pier name, route family, operator, lat/lon, address, first or last boat context where available, booking window, cancellation rule, weather sensitivity, port or pier owner, connected transfer, source ID

Reliability rating

High for official context; validate endpoint availability before automation.

How this helps travel recommendations

Turns ferry planning into source-backed decisions about which pier matters, how fragile an island transfer is, where the last-boat risk sits, what should stay refundable, and whether a route needs a mainland or airport backup.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use Marine Department and PAT pages for official pier and port context, OSM for landing and pier geometry, Namtang static pier/station layers where useful, and commercial operator or booking feeds only when you need live schedules, fares, or availability.

Recommended refresh

Refresh daily, or more often only when the source publishes explicit current-status fields.

Travel scoring role

Turns ferry planning into source-backed decisions about which pier matters, how fragile an island transfer is, where the last-boat risk sits, what should stay refundable, and whether a route needs a mainland or airport backup.

Comparable / backup source

Marine Department, PAT, OSM piers, Namtang stop and pier downloads, official operator pages, and commercial ferry booking/search surfaces where authorized.

Example request

Failure modes

  • There is no single public national Thailand ferry timetable API.
  • Pier identity, operator schedule, and weather reality often come from different systems.
  • Consumer booking sites can show routes or timings that need operator or marine confirmation.
  • Last-boat timing, cancellation policy, and same-day sea-state risk can change faster than static pier pages.
  • Geospatial layers can be large, tiled, or projection-specific.

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
