Data cluster

Thailand Ferry and Pier APIs.

Pier, ferry, marine-department, port, OSM, and operator-context layers for Thai island transfers and last-boat risk.

Best use for travel intelligence

For travel decisions, ferry and pier data is strongest when it shows the real fragility of an island move: which pier matters, where the last boat risk sits, and what should stay refundable.

What this changes for travelers

  • Island fragility: Shows where the last boat, same-day connection, and weather sensitivity really sit in a route.
  • Pier-transfer logic: Improves hotel, airport, and pier timing decisions before a coast or island move.
  • Refundability guidance: Helps pages say what should stay flexible when the plan depends on sea conditions.
  • Map confidence: Clarifies where a pier exists on the map even when operator schedules and commercial booking layers disagree.

Best sources to start with

  • Best official pier context: Marine Department piers for port, terminal, and navigation context across Thai river, gulf, and island transfer infrastructure.
  • Best major-port context: Port Authority Thailand for major-port identity and official port operations where relevant.
  • Best free map layer: OSM Thailand piers for ferry terminals, piers, landing points, and transfer geometry.
  • Best commercial booking context: Ferry operator commercial context for route families, booking windows, last-boat behavior, and cancellation patterns where authorized.
  • Best travel use: Explain island-transfer fragility, pier-transfer timing, weather sensitivity, and which parts of the plan should stay refundable.
  • Best developer starting point: Store pier identity, operator context, transfer risk, and commercial booking logic separately so a ferry page can explain what might break the day.
Official / agency sources

6 of 8 sources look official or agency-backed.

API/feed candidates

5 sources expose API, feed, CKAN/DataStore, JSON, XML, or similar machine-readable access.

Near-real-time signals

2 sources have live, hourly, event-driven, warning, or frequent update language.

Developer note

Keep official pier identity, map geometry, operator schedule context, and commercial booking or fare feeds separate so weather and transfer risk do not get buried inside one generic ferry record.

Last checked and source confidence

Source confidence: This cluster is strongest when several sources describe the same traveler problem from different angles: official context, machine-readable feeds, and slower fallback documentation.

Transport

Ferry operator commercial context

Commercial ferry and boat-transfer context for operator discovery, route families, booking windows, last-boat risk, and cancellation-policy patterns across Thai island and coastal transfers. Useful for traveler booking reality, not an official national ferry timetable feed.

Commercial booking/search pages and operator schedule context; API or bulk access requires partnership or explicit permission Transport

Marine Department Berth Status

Marine Department Single Window berth-status surface exposing public port selectors and visible ship-visit rows such as arrival or departure indicators, ETB times, and vessel names. Useful as berth and movement evidence for coastal and ferry-sensitive planning, not as ferry schedule, seat, or ticket truth.

Official public berth-status and ship-visit surface Transport

Marine Department piers

Marine Department berth, pier, port, terminal, navigation, and service-information context for Thai river, gulf, coastal, and border-water piers. The public berth registry is useful for official passenger-pier support, berth depth, berth length, and route-family context. It is not a verified national realtime ferry schedule, closure, queue, or seat-inventory API.

Official public Marine Department dataset plus site pages; berth registry JSON/CSV is publicly reachable Transport

Namtang stops, stations, piers, and park-and-ride downloads

Static stop, station, pier, connected-mode, and park-and-ride context; pair with GTFS stops and OSM for station pages.

Compressed text downloads and GTFS-related static data 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.

OpenStreetMap Overpass API and ODbL geospatial data Transport

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.

CKAN-style PAT Data Catalog with CSV/XLS/RDF/JPEG resources for port statistics, organization data, and official port datasets Transport

Port Authority Thailand

Port Authority of Thailand context for Bangkok Port, Laem Chabang, Chiang Saen, Chiang Khong, Ranong, and related port operations. Useful for major-port identity and shipping context, not a public island-ferry timetable feed.

Official public website, port profiles, contact pages, and annual-report resources Weather, environment, and disasters

TMD Shipping Forecast

Public Gulf of Thailand and Andaman / Malacca shipping forecast text for wind, wave, thunder, and heavy-rain marine context. Use as sea-state burden and ferry-risk evidence, not operator closure, ticket, or seat truth.
