Ko Larn is the best known out of a group of small islands a few miles off the coast of Pattaya. It is popular with day visitors who want to spend a day on a wide sandy beach and do some snorkeling.
Island of Tranquility
Koh Lann offers a change of pace from the busy beaches of Pattaya - an island well known to Thai and foreign visitors for its tranquil surroundings, beautiful beaches, glass-clear waters and extensive coral. This landmass of four square kilometers, just seven kilometers from Pattaya Bay, sports three beaches and is Pattaya's closest island just a 45-minute boat ride from shore.
Watery Pursuits
Koh Lann is a lovely spot catering to all kinds of tourists. Whether you want to laze around on the island's soft, white sand, or get more lively and play a few water sports is up to you. The island offers parasailing, water-skiing and jetskis. Snorkeling and deep-sea diving are recommended off the nearby islands of Koh Krok and Koh Sak, where there is an abundance of coral and undersea life waiting to be discovered. However, tourists should bring their own diving equipment since there are no dive shops in this area
Below the Waves
Take a ride in a glass-bottom boat to admire the underwater life or don your diving equipment to get even closer. Tien Beach has remained clean and has retained an air of tranquility due to minimal development and beach disturbance, although sufficient facilities exist to support a day-trip.
