About Bali Hai Pier: The main ferry terminal at the southern tip of Pattaya, departure point for ferries to Koh Larn island. Marks the start of Walking Street.
Coming back from a Koh Larn day trip, you land at Bali Hai Pier — usually hungry, often sandy, and not in the mood for elaborate sit-down service. The list below ranges from quick refuel options near the pier to slightly fancier places worth a 5-minute walk inland if you want to make dinner of it.

Pro tip: Last ferry from Koh Larn to Bali Hai is usually 18:00. If you're cutting it close, eat on the island first — Bali Hai-area dining is decent but not exceptional, and you'll have more options if you're starting dinner earlier.
