Jump into a tropical daydream: turquoise water, white sand, monkeys, and all the beach chaos you could want. Koh Larn is just 8–10 km off Pattaya’s coast — barely a boat ride, but a whole different world.
The island’s the biggest nearby, with ten beaches, each with its own vibe. Powder sand, coral reefs, palm shade, and enough cafés and sunbeds so you don’t have to “rough it” unless you want to.
🌿 Beaches:
Tien Beach — 500 meters of quiet, white sand and mountain views. Perfect if you just want to zone out.
Monkey Beach — about 300 meters, with macaques hanging around like they own the place. Decent spot for snorkeling too.
Tawaen Beach — loud, crowded, full of cafés, water toys, and tourists. If you’re chasing energy, this is it.
🌊 Stuff to do:
Dive, snorkel, hop on a speedboat, get dragged on a banana, ride a jet ski, or get pulled up on a parachute. If you’d rather keep it chill: kayaks with clear bottoms, paddleboards, inflatable toys, or just float around. And yes, lunch is included.
There are showers, umbrellas, loungers, and cafés — so it’s not just postcard pretty, it’s actually comfortable. Works for families, works for thrill-seekers.
