Koh Larn, also known as Coral Island, is a tropical paradise located just 7 kilometers off the coast of Pattaya, Thailand. This charming island spans around 4 kilometers in length and 2 kilometers in width, with its lush, hilly terrain adorned by low tropical forests and a peaceful Buddhist shrine at its highest point, about 180 meters above sea level. Koh Larn is renowned for its stunning beaches, each offering its own unique allure.
Tawaen Beach, the most popular, is famous for its clear turquoise waters, soft white sands, and a lively atmosphere with numerous beachside shops and eateries. Samae Beach is more serene, offering a tranquil ambiance ideal for unwinding, while Tien Beach is a smaller, more secluded spot that becomes wonderfully quiet by sunset.
The island’s waters are perfect for snorkeling, diving, and adventurous water sports, including parasailing, jet skiing, and underwater sea walking. The island is accessible via a short ferry or speedboat ride from Pattaya’s Bali Hai Pier, making it a convenient yet unforgettable day-trip or overnight getaway.
Accommodation options range from cozy guesthouses to luxurious beachfront resorts, with delightful local dining available at every corner. Despite the challenges posed by increased tourism, ongoing efforts are focused on sustainable tourism and waste management to maintain Koh Larn's natural beauty.
