THAILANDS 🇹🇭 CLOSEST ISLAND to PATTAYA. The Best Beaches on KOH LARN. 🇹🇭

[@Numberama]

Nice one Geoff ! - I have mixed emotions watching this video as I have visited Koh Larn on many occasions with friends that have unfortunately all passed away now - so viewing was tearful but memories of happier times came flooding back. Take care mate and all the best for 2024. - (Ray - Kalasin Thailand)

[@tomkenyon3721]

My Scottish girlfriends brother who lived in the Greenfields area of Pattaya unexpectedly passed away there two days ago so this a poignant movie to watch.

[@Tex_Symbol69]

I liked how at 7:27 when you walked in that first restaurant, they have made the fire extinguisher the air tank for the art work of the scuba diver on the wall ! 😊

[@mikerichardson4240]

It's a nice island and ideal for a day trip, the golf buggies are a great way to get about

[@geoffcarter]

I should have asked how much?

[@mikerichardson4240]

in January this year they were 1,500 THB with a top speed of 22 mph they meet you at the main pier in the small parking area There are 2 types, a 2 seat and a 4 seat a full charge lasts all day with reasonable use @@geoffcarter

[@susanglasgow8992]

Loved the video Geoff, and the music and beautiful beaches, cheers me up during this stormy uk weather. Xxx

[@geoffcarter]

Thank you Susan 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦

[@PtangPtangBiscuitBarrelSmith]

Back in 1989 we hired a speed boat to take us to Tien beach with a group of Aussie mates. It was a fast ride but so long as you didn't mind having your spine shattered it was good. . Happy days. We were staying in the old Royal Garden Hotel. Wow things have changed on beach road now. Have fun Geoff.

[@geoffcarter]

Cheers mate. Yes those speed boats are no good to me ! Too fast and bumpy 🚤🚤🚤🚤

[@MrGman2804]

I did something very similar in 1986. Ko Larn was empty back then, and it was so cheap ... unless you wanted ferang food... but I was a bit lost being only 22 at the time. The nightlife terrified me!

[@PtangPtangBiscuitBarrelSmith]

I bet it did, never show fear the bar girls can smell it lmao. Lamb to the slaughter and all that.

[@Stephenuk-zc3xo]

Probably adding another 30 years to u life mate with all this 🌞 and relaxing enjoying yourself.

[@frankiefourfingers6717]

Yep I’ve done the speedboat- Jesus I could hardly stand when I got back at end of day

[@reluctentninja]

Geoff may I ask you a personal question, getting on od off those boats looks quite precarious how are you managing with your hip. Hope you don't mind me asking.

[@geoffcarter]

On the ferry there are people who grab you and guide you on and off the boats. It’s very safe. The speed boats are a different kettle of fish! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@reluctentninja]

@@geoffcarter thank you for the reply, I'm really looking forward to getting back to the land of smiles very soon

[@doreengleave9072]

Catch the early boat Keith. Sailing times are in the description section

[@cdman7768]

what an enjoyable video to watch...i wondered, when you mentioned about ID needed to hire out the motor cycles, does that mean you need a motor cycle licence.

[@TizerisT.]

thanks for this mate - i'm taking a girl here around april time. no idea what it was, as she suggested it

[@geoffcarter]

Great day out and can even stay over night if you wanted.

I miss Geoff videos from far off places like Koh Tao and Siem Reap. We need some more of that action.

[@BadApe351]

Fantastic video Geoff. Missed out on going to Koh Larn last time. Will not make that mistake again. Hey mate careful in the sun...looks bloody hot. Might be an idea to get checked out at a skin clinic in Pattaya. Just looking out for you mate. Cheers.

[@zodzod9378]

Love it Geoff a nice bit of sunshine in my living room that's what we need like Lee on his Tenerife ? Cheap as chips and out there for 90 days bet the money goes so far and great food ! Loved it mate! Little john from chichester

[@thekoshertourist]

Tien is a nice beach. I'm still a bit partial to Monkey beach, then again I guess now being high session it's a bit more busy here now. You can definitely get a speedboat at the end of the day to take you right back to the Bali Hai Pier. Either way you go Koh Larn is the way to go when in Pattaya area and only 1.5 - 2 hr drive from BKK too Bali Hai and like you said 40 min ferry or 15-20 on speedboat (150 thb) Also quite nice to stay over the night and there's a couple of nice bars there with some live music. When I went last, a couple of months ago, my friends and I were the only farang there that I could see.

[@patrickdaly6425]

@thekoshertourist: I was thinking of staying for the one night when i visit, could i ask what was the place called you stayed at and did you do a walk in or pre book, thanks in advance, Pat

Glad you went to Tien beach Geoff,it’s always been my favourite beach on Koh Larn. For some reason Tien isn’t featured much on here,it’s usually the others. Let’s hope it doesn’t end up like Monkey Beach. Keep up the good work.

If you arrive early like Geoff did you can have a bit of peace for a while but it doesn't last long, believe me. Oh and there's also a gigantic garbage mound in the center of the Island which is getting bigger and bigger every year but you won't get youtubers filming that lol 😅. Google Koh Larn garbage dump and see for yourself what the youtubers don't show you
