We already have reviews of Phuket, Hua Hin, Koh Chang, Samui beaches and Pattaya; detailed, with full descriptions and photos. Today it was the turn to tell you about the beaches of the small island of Koh Lan, which is near to pattaya.
Among the tourists and residents of Pattaya Koh Lan, perhaps the most Popular place for a beach holiday. The water here is much cleaner than on the city beaches of Pattaya, the sand is white, the sea is azure, the hustle and bustle around is much less. Sail to the island by ferry just half an hour from the center of Pattaya (and on a speedboat and that less). And although the proximity to the city is a minus of the island – a lot people, especially in the season, yet here you can find almost all year round deserted corners, since the coastline is quite long, with rocks, large stones in the water and forest thickets at the edges beaches.
