Port Authority of Thailand Data Catalog.

Official Port Authority catalog layer for Bangkok Port, Laem Chabang, and other PAT-managed port statistics and reference datasets. Useful for major-port identity, cargo, and logistics context; low direct traveler value and not an island-ferry schedule, ticket, or berth-queue feed.

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

Check weekly for change detection, but treat the official publication period as the real cadence.

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.

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.
  • Batch files can change schema, naming, encoding, or publication cadence.

Last checked and source confidence

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.
