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.

[@anthonydowling3356]

Geoff at 17m .26s a rough looking LB was giving you the glad eye ;-) Ho ,Ho ,keep smiling .

[@geoffcarter]

Just checked now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@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

[@arianneadventuers]

❤❤❤ thanks for sharing your experience with us ❤❤❤

[@hunglikeadonkeybutnotassmelly]

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!

[@hunglikeadonkeybutnotassmelly]

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

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.

[@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.

[@stephenoconnell4479]

Love that island ...Fantastic video ...

[@geoffcarter]

Cheers Steve. Never knew about Tien beach before?

Cheers mate

[@tallguyforfun]

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.
