Koh Larn, Chonburi

Koh Larn is located just 7–7.5 km off the coast of Pattaya, taking only 45 minutes by ferry or 15–20 minutes by speedboat.

🏖 Highlights to visit:

Tawaen Beach: The most popular beach with crystal-clear water and fine white sand. It offers restaurants, cafes, and various water activities such as jet skiing, banana boats, and glass-bottom boats.

Nual Beach: A quieter atmosphere, perfect for sunbathing or relaxing in the water.

Tien Beach: A favorite photo spot with a long wooden bridge leading to the beach and a unique sight of geese roaming around in the evening.

Samae Beach: Also known as "Pink Samae Beach," this spot features clear waters, fresh seafood restaurants, and a scenic viewpoint on a grassy hill that feels like a foreign destination.

Wind Turbine Viewpoint: A recommended spot for capturing photos with wind turbines, the sea, and Pattaya as the backdrop—absolutely stunning!

🚤 Getting around the island:

Arrive at Na Baan Pier or Tawaen Beach and use local transportation like songthaews (around 50 THB per trip) or motorcycle taxis (20–60 THB per person) to travel between beaches.

You can also rent a motorbike (300–350 THB per day) for more private and convenient travel, but be cautious of steep roads between beaches.

💡 Friendly tips:

If you're not confident driving yourself, it's better to use songthaews or motorcycle taxis for convenience.

Carry cash, especially coins, for ferry tickets (30 THB) or water activities, as credit cards are not commonly accepted.

Arrive on the island mid-morning to enjoy a day trip, or for a more relaxed experience, consider staying overnight to enjoy the morning and evening views.

For meals, try the grilled seafood restaurants near Tawaen Beach or Samae Beach. The food is fresh and reasonably priced.
