It's a necessary evil.
Like others have said: buy the ticket from town, not only it'll be cheaper, also, you'll get a free ride to the pier. If you find yourself here by any chance, simply say you are coming back on the same day and the price will drop. Return tickets aren't dated.
Regarding the shops at the entrance of the pier, stay away.
It's a 32 minutes walk to Krabi town, so about 2 Kms.
