"I second Smiles' observations from the Pattaya side (8dec2016). No signs or stall at Bali Hai pier. Then I made the mistake to ask for the ferry in TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand) office in Pattaya. They don't know anything. (Mistake because after 5 minutes of talking, I knew nothing more than when I arrived.) What I read on Thaivisa is not encouraging either: Bali Hai pier is not ready, and nobody has ever seen the ship."

But apart from that everything is ship shape and ready to go. Haha.
