Koh Larn - Coral Island
|
|
Only two hours from Bangkok, the beautiful beaches of Koh Larn - an idyllic island located just west of Pattaya - make a perfect day-trip. Known as Coral Island and covering an area of about 4 square kilometres, you spend the day swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. Enjoy the abundant coral and underwater world, either from the glass-bottom boat or by diving in.
One of the largest islands in the eastern part of the Gulf of Thailand, offering several white, sandy beaches and extensive coral reef
A day trip to the outlying island is an essential part of any trip to Pattaya. One of the most popular offshore isles is Koh Lan, which offers fine, white sand and beautiful coral reef. The island just some 7.5 kilometres away from Pattaya shore, or about 45 minutes by ferry.
Koh Lan is a stone's throw to two small islands, which are Koh Sak and Koh Khrok. Koh Lan, however, is the largest, and the most popular of the three. One of Koh Lan beautiful pristine beach is Hat Laem Thian located to the southwest. Nearby is Samae Beach. If you head to the west, you will find Hat Ta Phan facing coral ranges. While Ta Waen Beach in the north is a place that most of the tour boats lay anchor at side to buy foods and souvenirs at the foodshops and stalls along the coast. Several hotels are located on the south area of the isle, which is another site to view coral reefs as well. To see the beauty of the underwater world surrounding Koh Lan, visitors can choose glass-bottom boats and surface-diving.
Equipment for snorkeling, parasailing, water skiing and jet skiing are available for rent on the island. Deep sea fishing expeditions can also be arranged from several sources on the island.
