Koh Larn Island (Coral Island) - Thailand

Koh Larn is a wonderful little island situated near Pattaya. We have many options to reach the island, we can hire a speed boat or we can board a ferry which runs every 30 minutes from south Pattaya. For ferry ride they will charge 30 baht per person and it will take around 45 minutes to reach island. The ferry ride will provide you some beautiful view of Pattaya.

Koh Larn has six main beaches and a few smaller beaches for visitors to enjoy. All the beaches are of white sand and clear blue waters.

We reached the island around 1.00 PM. 

Some of the taxi drivers offer round trip around the island for 400 Baht. But we decided to rent a motorbike and explore the island on our own. For motor bikes they will charge 200 Baht and we have to submit some ID proof to those guys.  

Each corner of the island will provide some breath taking views and its worth visiting J

Forgot name of this beach! 

There is a view point at top of the island from there we get beautiful view of Pattaya city.

There is a statue of Lord Buddha at this island (but ideal at this place is very different compare to all other places).

One more island 

We could not visit all beaches in this island because of heat and time constrains, we were supposed to return the bikes within one hour. The bike ride in this island was unforgettable we had very good time while riding in this island.

While going back to Pattaya we hired a speed boat for that paid 200 baht per person. The ride took us only 15 mins in the speed boat and it was very thrilling J

One of the must visit places around Pattaya and for sure everyone will like this place J

Party @ Pattaya - Thailand

Bangkok visit for this time was limited to only Pattaya; we were in Bangkok for Seena’s bachelor’s party J. Directly from Bangkok airport we took cab to Pattaya, from Bangkok it’s around 150 Kms (3 hour journey) to Pattaya. We hired a cab from airport (the cab reminded me Rajanikanth’s BASHA movie :P) to Pattaya, its 10 seaters cab and they will charge you 3000 Thai Baht.

We reached Pattaya by 11.00AM but it took 30 mins to find out the hotel we booked, even cab driver was not aware of the Hotel address properly. After 2 - 3 rounds in the same road we managed to find out the Hotel and reached hotel by 11.30AM. We booked “HOTEL GOLDEN BEACH PATTAYA” for our stay. Since we check-in time was 2.00PM we dropped our luggage in lock room and went out to have a look around the city.

We had a walk around the beach street, visited couple of restaurants, finished our lunch and reached back hotel to check-in.

After taking some rest we started exploring Pattaya. We boarded Tuk-tuk to reach walking street (Tuk-tuk - is very famous mode of transport in Bangkok - just like shared autos in India, but it will accommodate more people compare to our Auto’s). It will be good to have a ride in such type of open vehicle! One must take a ride in Tuk-tuk when you are in Bangkok.   

Witnessed beautiful sunset J

Had couple of drinks and entered most happening place in Pattaya ‘The Walking Street’

Had some good time and few scary moments as well in this street! (Don’t visit this place with your family, I saw few people with kids and their families – not sure intentionally they visited this place or unknowingly!)

Party at Hard Rock Café Pattaya

Had some wonder full Thai food

And it was time to end party and reach hotel, already time crossed 2.30 AM! Even though it was too late there is no problem for transport to reach back hotels J

It was wonderful time which we spent in Pattaya, most importantly at least one Bachelors party went as per plan J
