The meeting point is at the port gate (Chan May or Tien Sa), located approximately 700 to 900 meters from your ship’s gangway. Due to port regulations, independent guides cannot enter the restricted dock area, so you’ll need to walk or use the port shuttle to reach the gate where I will be waiting for you.
