Koh Lan Island (Pattaya) – a place of beach idyll, inaccessible in the city itself. Here everything is from the category of “bounty”: white sand, water is azure-transparent, palm trees are present. It is located only 9 km by sea from land, and therefore its beaches are chosen and tourists from Pattaya, and indigenous Thais.
By the way, Thailand in 2019 costs from 70,000 rubles for two! Cheap vouchers better look for yourself with services:
- Travelata

How to get to Koh Lahn?
Sights of Pattaya are certainly entertaining, but early or later there is an acute shortage of a truly beach holiday by the clear sea. Drive (more precisely, swim) to Koh Lan Island easy and don’t even think about ordering organized excursion!
Beautiful view of the bay of Koh Lana (to see them you need to take bike)
All boats / ferries depart from Bali Hai Pier, located in late walking street. How to get to Bali High Pier in Pattaya? If the hotel is not within walking distance of the point, with a wave of the hand stop the songteo – a la local tuk-tuk – from the interrogative intonation speak the name of the pier to the driver, and, in the case of a nod, sit down. At the exit from you – 10 butt per person.
To navigate Pattaya, and just for any city in the world, We highly recommend the application of offline maps maps.me.
Further, there are two scenarios:
- The most budget – ferry to Koh Lan. Old, creaking, noisy, crowded, but the cost – 30 butt per person in one side?
Where they arrive: Tawayen pier or Naban pier – 2 different directions, the first one is more convenient. 7:00 and every hour, back from 13: 00Time in transit: 45-50 minutes
- Cater. Holds 10 people, cost – 150 batt There and back again
Where to arrive: beach Samae Schedule: from 9:30 every hourTime in paths: 35 minutes.
Beaches of Koh Lan
Map of the island has 5 large public beaches, and all they are full of tourists. Relative privacy can be caught briefly, if you go off the very first ferry.
In general, information reached us that Koh Lan himself is private territory, and, for example, sunbathing on the sand on your towel, so let’s say, against the rules – you need to take a sunbed. We are not so collided, lay on the sand freely, but just in case warned.
Infrastructure is more or less everywhere, however, is paid. For washing hands enterprising local will take 10 butt! Transport on the island developed: bikes, moto-taxis and songteos.
And one more remark: sensations may appear on Koh Lana that You did not go to a Thai resort, but to our good old Black sea. A LOT of Russians?
- The most popular and largest beach of the island of Koh Lan – Tawaen (Tawayen) – stretched for 680 m along the coast. By name you can guess what he is located near the pier. Surprisingly even here the water is frankly blue, and, compared to Pattaya, just paradise! Although a lot of traders, bikes and tourists, creating din and bustle. The Chinese are especially trying. Scream like children and crowd around the shore. But, in general, a good place for a beach holiday, if you do not want go to distant beaches.
- The list of the best beaches includes Samae (Samae). From Tavaen to him 15 minutes on the bike. Picturesque location, huge boulders near the shore, which you can make test photos in the spray of the sea and survey playground. Beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. “Warders” for the sunbeds are a bit arrogant here and it happens that they require taking a minimum two.
- Beach Tien (Tien) we liked the most. It seemed that Is it a bit cleaner, more spacious and less Chinese? Swim in the sea fish, big colorful and small flocks, so take a mask – will come in handy. Sunset in the water is long, at the beginning it feels large pebbles, but further – the perfect sandy bottom. And no less perfect review of the toes, even when I went already on the neck.
White sand and clear blue sea resemble the Maldives
- Nuan, or else Monkey Beach (Monkey Beach) – closest to pier Nabaan. His name says it all – here is a mini-kingdom monkeys, and each instance is surrounded by a curious crowd with cameras. There is also a rope swing – another spot for Instagramma. On the way from the pier to the beach there are whole fields of ears of indeterminate species in which you can get lost?
- On the map of the beaches of the island of Koh Lan there are small, but very cozy places such as Ta-Yai (Ta-Yai). There are no hotels and restaurants, but very beautiful nature and clean coast.
Prices for Ko Lan
Sun beds: stand in groups of three horizontal row. The usual cost for them: first, at the very edge of the water (be careful, it can carry sneakers :)) – 150 butt, the second – 100 butt, the third is 50 butts. In our second visit to the island the price tag was unreasonably raised by 50 baht, and we basically sunbathed just on the towel.
Bike rental: standard 300 batt. Bargain! We, in the end, “knocked out” for 250 batt. Deposit – Passport or 1000 butt
Moto-taxi: from 50 batt
Songteo: from 30 batt
1 night in a hotel: from 1250 rubles
What to do on the island?
Coral Island (Koh Lan) – the largest of the closest to Pattaya (dimensions: 2 km wide and 4 km long). Sights here are a modest number, because the main thing for what tourists flock to is the sea. But those few deserve attention.
- Buddha statue at an altitude of 205 meters above sea level near Tawaen beach
- Wat Maisam Larn Temple near Na Baan Pier
- Observation deck on the beach Samae
Where better to stay in Pattaya?
What is the principle to choose hotels in Pattaya? Based on reviews tourists and our impressions:
- In the North of Pattaya, quite quiet and calm, most hotels are located on the first line. However, we do not recommend sunbathing and swimming at local beaches. Alternative – Aroma pool. Walking Street on the local tuk-tuk can be reached in 10-15 minutes.
- In the southern part of the city is also quiet, a lot of budget hotels. You can reach the Center in 10 minutes.
- The central part is a favorite place for young people and old people, waddling under the handle with the cocks. Restaurants and nightclubs, beaches with rats and sewage. But before the Bali Hai pier from here you can walk for 20 minutes and go to the beaches of Koh Lan island.
