Hotels in Ko Larn

Must go place if you are in Pattaya. Several beaches, most of them are very clean and are good for swimming. Some nice religious sights around the island. 3 or more 7-11 shops. Foods and drinks around. Can be a great alternative if you don't want to travel south to Krabi.

Its an island. Ok, you knew that, right!? Not too far from Pattaya, and yet you feel you are in a different place. Island life starts with... island transport as you cant take your own. it feels like a tourist seaside town - not over-developed, and pricing pretty reasonable given the captive audience. Some good eateries for the evening and also good beaches to visit. a few days max I think - a week or more might get a bit boring.

Its a good place to visiting and not far away from bangkok, if you dont have time much and dont want to go some where far away from BKK this is good place for spending time on short vacation with beautiful sea.

Some lovely beaches, but look just behind the beach, or at either end, and it is covered in rubbish. Most visitors don't stay on the island, so the evenings are quiet. AVOID TAWAEN BEACH! Absolutely horrendous. Beach is covered in chairs, but hardly anyone sits on them because of the noise and pollution from the hundreds of speed boats and jetskis constantly coming in and out. Huge tour groups come from China and elsewhere and book out a whole enormous restaurant, which means those of us in small groups are uninteresting to the restaurants and shops. We stayed at Xanadu Resort at Samae beach, which was nice enough, especially as the one end is reserved for Xanadu guests, so it's quieter than the rest. Some snorkelling, though at New Year the water was a bit churned up. Decent food, though a bit pricey. Staff a bit indifferent, and rooms OK but not worth the price. Nual beach is perhaps the nicest - at New Year it was the one with the calmest water, and there was some snorkelling around the rocks, which was OK. Tien beach has the loveliest sand, but again look just off the beach and all you'll see is piles of litter. The little town around the main port is very busy but might be a decent place to stay for atmosphere, if you don't need to be at the beach. The market there is good value - a proper Thai market! Don't bother with Koh Larn unless you really don't have time to go a little bit further. Samet is much nicer, and Chang is gorgeous.

เหมาะกับเล่นน้ำทะเล ทรายละเอียด น้ำใส ไม่ต้องไปไกลถึงเสม็ด ไม่เหมาะกับครอบครัวที่มีเด็กเล็กเพราะบนเกาะเดินทางลำบาก

I absolutely loved Tien Beach! Paradise on earth! It was easy to get to via Song Tao for 30 Baht. Lounge chairs are 100 Baht. The beach has white sand and clear warm waters. There are restaurants along the beach as well.
